Michelin Launches Hotel 'Keys' Rating System in the U.S.

Michelin's new hotel rating system awards up to three 'keys' to luxury hotels, with 11 properties receiving the highest honor.

Michelin's hotel guide now includes 'keys' similar to its restaurant stars, rating U.S. luxury hotels across seven states.
Eleven U.S. hotels, including notable properties in California and New York, were awarded the top distinction of three keys.
The rating system emphasizes a memorable and unique guest experience over traditional luxury amenities like spas and pools.
Michelin independently funds hotel stays for its reviewers to ensure unbiased evaluations.
Future expansions of the Michelin hotel guide are planned, with ceremonies in Spain, Italy, and Japan scheduled for this year.
