What is a Michelin Key?
The Michelin Key is the Michelin Guide’s newest distinction, created in April 2024 to recognize the most outstanding hotels in the world.
In the same way that Michelin-rated restaurants are awarded stars, Michelin-rated hotels receive either one, two or three keys, and the quality of the hotel increases with the number of keys. One key marks a very special stay, two mark an exceptional stay and three mark an extraordinary stay.
