Updated over 4 months ago

Yes. The same way the MICHELIN Star recognizes restaurants for outstanding cooking, the MICHELIN Key recognizes hotels for outstanding stays.

Our selection team takes into account five universal criteria when awarding MICHELIN Stars, and they have five universal criteria when selecting hotels: excellence in architecture and interior design, quality and consistency of service, overall personality and character, value for the price, and a significant contribution to the neighborhood or setting.

Our Key hotels don’t just fulfill one of these criteria. These are the best of the best in all categories.

Finally, just like a MICHELIN-rated restaurant, a MICHELIN-rated hotel can earn One, Two, or Three Keys.

  • One Key: a very special stay.

  • Two Keys: an exceptional stay.

  • Three Keys: an extraordinary stay.
