FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is the best One&Only hotel?
One&Only Gorilla's Nest in Ruhengeri, Rwanda scores 9.8/10, the highest in the brand's portfolio. It's the finest base for a gorilla trek in Rwanda, and for many guests the best resort they've stayed at anywhere. Room and service hit the ceiling; food and wine sit a notch below. Book it for a milestone trip, not a quick stopover.
What is the cheapest One&Only hotel?
Atlantis, The Palm in Dubai starts at $100/night, the lowest entry price in the One&Only portfolio. It's Dubai's defining family-luxury resort, with waterpark access, strong housekeeping and wide dining range. Expect a 1,500-room spectacle with queues, aggressive pricing on extras and weak dispute handling. Good for a family week built around the resort; look to quieter Jumeirah properties otherwise.
What is the most expensive One&Only hotel?
One&Only Gorilla's Nest in Ruhengeri, Rwanda tops out at $26,090/night, the highest rate in the portfolio. It's the finest base for a gorilla trek in Rwanda, with room and service at the ceiling and food and wine a notch below. At this price the experience delivers — but book it for the milestone trip, not a quick stopover.
Where does One&Only have hotels?
One&Only operates 19 hotels across 10 countries and 4 continents — Africa, Asia, Europe and North America. The United Arab Emirates leads with 5 properties, anchored by Atlantis, The Palm in Dubai. Rwanda, Mexico, South Africa and Montenegro each have 2 hotels. The footprint skews toward trophy destinations: gorilla trekking in Ruhengeri, beach resorts in Los Cabos, safari lodges in South Africa and Adriatic coastline in Montenegro.
What is One&Only known for?
Food and dining is the brand's strongest category at a 6.8 portfolio average, and every One&Only property clears at least 1.4 in that category — the most consistent signal across 19 hotels. Location is the weakest category at 4.2, reflecting remote resort settings like Ruhengeri and safari lodges. The brand is built around destination dining and resort experience rather than city-center access.
Is One&Only worth the price?
Mixed. The portfolio averages 5.9/10 across 19 hotels with rates from $100 to $26,090/night. Food and dining is reliably strong (6.8 average, every property above 1.4), but location averages just 4.2 — these are remote resorts, not city bases. Worth it for milestone trips like Gorilla's Nest (9.8/10) or a family week at Atlantis. For shorter stays or urban travel, the price-to-location math doesn't work.
