"This hotel gets its name because it is literally one guestroom. Clearly designed to set a romantic mood for guests, the room offers scent choices... and a common area dubbed "the dance floor"." Full review

"Conceived as a love nest, the One By The Five is not your usual hotel. This single-suite property contains six rooms spread over 45 square meters."

"Boutique design hotel with a different personality (and matching aroma) in each room. Fiber optic lights in the rooms create a "rain of stars" effect, and there's Chinese lacquer everywhere."
