The Four Seasons Paris: Georges V has been awarded Three MICHELIN Hotel Keys by the MICHELIN Guide
189 hotels in France are the first to be
awarded MICHELIN Hotel Keys
The new distinction awards MICHELIN Hotel
Keys to hotels with rankings, like the MICHELIN
restaurant star system.
On April 8, 2024, the MICHELIN Guide
revealed a new list of One, Two, and Three
Key distinctions for what it has determined
are the best hotels in France. The new Key
distinction is designed to award MICHELIN
Guide hotels with rankings, like the
MICHELIN restaurant star system.
This announcement comes four years into a
comprehensive refresh of MICHELIN’s hotel
selection, which includes more than 5,000
hotels around the world in 120 countries.
Over the last four years, MICHELIN’s
selection team of independent experts has
vetted these remarkable hotels for inclusion
in the collection.
“Each has been selected for its remarkable
quality. Out of these thousands of hotels,
those offering the most outstanding stays
will be awarded the special MICHELIN
Key distinction.”
According to MICHELIN, the chosen hotels
are selections that “significantly add to
your experience as a traveler, each vetted
and judged excellent in five categories:
architecture and interior design, quality and
consistency of service, overall personality
and character, value for the price, and
a significant contribution to the guest
experience in a particular setting.”
The hotels don’t just fulfill the criteria, but are
“the best of the best in all categories.”
“There are lively hotels and quiet hotels.
Hotels in metropolises and hotels in the
middle of nowhere. Hotels at the leading
edge of modern design and hotels that
celebrate the achievements of the past.
There are castles, hostels, tents, and ryokans,
places with two hundred rooms atop a city
skyscraper, and with two rooms tucked inside
an ancient watchtower.”
The guide has awarded 189 hotels in
France with Keys, including 24 Three Key
hotels, 38 Two Key hotels, and 127 One
Key hotels.
The MICHELIN Hotel Keys will soon be
announced for hotels in other locations,
including the United States (Atlanta,
California, Chicago, Colorado, Florida, New
York, Washington DC) on April 24, in Spain
on April 29, in Italy on May 7, and in Tokyo
on July 4, 2024. Other destinations will
follow throughout the year, according
to Forbes.
