The famous Michelin Guide has just revealed its new distinctions specially designed for hotels: the keys.
Alors que le Michelin unveiled last March its list of prizes 62 starred gastronomic establishments… It is now diversifying by including hotels in its distinctions. Indeed, after the stars, it's the turn keys to being put forward !
Ainsi, le Monday April 8 2024, the Michelin Guide decided to present the crème de la crème of the most prestigious French hotels, capitalizing on its expertise which allows it to list more than 5000 establishments remarkable throughout the world.
Michelin keys: the new symbol of excellence
For this first selection, 189 French hotels, offering from 3 to 248 rooms and distributed in different regions, have been allocated between one and three keys. In addition, with 10 distinctions, the Île-de-France region stands out by concentrating more than a third of the hotels classified as three “Keys” in France. Mainly located in Paris, there are prestigious establishments such as The Bristol, The Ritz or even the Plaza Athénée.
Thus, these new distinctions symbolize different levels of quality and service. Among the 38 hotels awarded two keys, they must offer a “exceptional stay”, while the 24 establishments honored with three keys must offer a “extraordinary stay”. In addition, 127 hotels were awarded a key solely for their “singular stay”.
The awarding of these distinctions results from anonymous evaluations carried out by inspectors. It covers criteria such as local integration, design, quality of service, value for money. But also the authenticity of the hotel experience.
The Michelin group, recent owner of Tablet Hotels, also offers reservations in a selection of 6 hotels spread across 000 countries, with key selections announced in other global tourist destinations throughout 2024. This new distinction will also be extended to international soon.
