Michelin Expands to Hotel Ratings with Michelin Keys

The Michelin Guide has expanded its prestigious ratings from restaurants to hotels with the introduction of the Michelin Keys, which recognize establishments for exceptional service, design, and overall experience. Utah is home to seven hotels on the list, including Montage Deer Valley, which received a three-key rating for its luxurious amenities. The UK and Ireland also saw their first Michelin Key awards, with 123 hotels being recognized, including 14 with the highest three-key distinction. Notable establishments include Adare Manor and Ballyfin Demesne in Ireland, both lauded for their extraordinary hospitality. These ratings, like the Michelin stars, are determined through incognito inspections and aim to identify the world's most remarkable and memorable stays. As the hospitality industry continues to evolve, these awards reflect the creativity and dedication of hoteliers worldwide.
