[What is a Michelin Key?]
The Michelin Key is awarded to accommodations that not only meet the Michelin Guide’s high standards in design, architecture, service, and character, but also provide a truly “exceptional experience.”
Much like the Stars awarded to restaurants, this evaluation is structured in three tiers—”1 Key,” “2 Keys,” and “3 Keys”—and is judged based on five specific criteria:
- The hotel itself is a destination, offering a unique local experience.
- Excellence in architecture and interior design.
- Quality and consistency of service, comfort, and maintenance.
- Consistency between the level of experience and the price paid.
- Individuality, reflecting a unique character and personality.
