Michelin Guide International Director Gwendal Poullennec's Comment

"With this new index, a new chapter begins in the Michelin Guide's 124 years of serving travelers. Michelin Guide inspectors have traveled to these locations, experienced the same things travelers do, and created this selection list to share their best stays with our users. One, two, or three Michelin Key accommodations are gems unearthed by experts, and the Michelin Key is a testament to their respect for their unparalleled hospitality. The Michelin Key selection in Japan showcases a selection of different types, concepts, and styles, from traditional inns to landmarks with pop architecture and design, iconic high-rise hotels in big cities, and small accommodations. Travelers can search for the accommodation that has the experience they are looking for, book a Michelin Key hotel, and experience an unforgettable stay."

 

[Definition of 1, 2, 3 Michelin Keys]

Just as the Michelin Guide's Restaurant Selection stars distinguish outstanding culinary experiences, the Michelin Key's Hotel Selection identifies the best accommodations to stay at, giving travelers a new benchmark by assessing each hotel's experience on multiple levels beyond just the amenities it offers.

 

What is 1 Michelin Key (One Michelin Key): A special stay.

A destination with its own personality and charm. Unconventional and offering a unique experience. Service is always one step ahead and offers far more than accommodation in the same price range.

2 Michelin Keys (Two Michelin Keys): A Great Stay

Accommodation that offers memorable experiences and is unique and special in every respect. It is distinctive and intriguing, run with pride and care, and the eye-catching design, architecture and charm of the location make it a special place or space.

What is a 3 Michelin Key? A top-class stay

Offering the highest standards of comfort, service, style and elegance, this is one of the world's most remarkable and exclusive hotels, a once-in-a-lifetime destination with all the elements of truly great hospitality to make your stay a lasting memory.
