Boutique Luxury: A Guide to The Michelin Key Award for Hotels

You’ve likely heard of Michelin Stars, awarded to restaurants for exceptional culinary experiences. But did you know that Michelin now recognises hotels for their outstanding service and hospitality? The Michelin Key Award is a prestigious accolade bestowed upon hotels that consistently deliver exceptional guest experiences.

Criteria for a Michelin Key Award

To earn a Michelin Key Award, a hotel must meet stringent criteria, including:

  • Impeccable Service: The hotel’s staff must be highly trained, attentive, and consistently provide top-notch service.
  • Exceptional Facilities: The hotel’s amenities, such as rooms, restaurants, and spa facilities, must be of the highest quality.
  • Unique Atmosphere: The hotel should have a distinct character and ambiance, creating a memorable experience for guests.

Michelin Key vs. Michelin Star: What’s the Difference?

While Michelin Stars are awarded to restaurants, Michelin Key Awards recognise the overall experience of a hotel. A Michelin Key Award signifies a hotel’s commitment to providing unparalleled service, comfort, and luxury.
