The Michelin Guide has debuted its inaugural Michelin Keys for the best hotels across the U.S. Like its prestigious star-rating system for restaurants, Keys establish a new benchmark for travelers when it comes to hotel experiences and stays.
Out of almost 1,000 hotels recommended by Michelin across the country, 124 have earned distinctions. These include hotels in Atlanta, California, Chicago, Colorado, New York, Washington D.C., and of course, the state of Florida. The keys are categorized into three levels, with three being the highest honor:
🔑 One Key: a very special stay
🔑🔑 Two Keys: an exceptional stay
🔑🔑🔑 Three Keys: an extraordinary stay
In South Florida alone, 10 hotels received Michelin Keys, spanning from Coconut Grove’s lush Mayfair House Hotel & Garden to the historic Betsy Hotel on Ocean Drive. Although none were awarded Three Keys, four landed in the Two Key category and six for the One Key. See them below.
