The difference between 1, 2, and 3 Michelin Keys isn’t luxury.
It’s intention. ⭐️
Michelin rates hotels on five things:
Design. Service. Personality. Value. Sense of place.
🏨 1 Key = a very special stay
🏨 2 Keys = an exceptional stay
🏨 3 Keys = a destination in itself
Only 143 hotels in the world have 3 Keys.
Places you travel for, not just stay at.

It will probably raise prices unfortunately due to new demand.
clayoquot is $42k for 7 nights, who tf is staying there
Cool, can't wait for hotels to game the system now just like restaurants did for stars, where now 99% of starred restaurants are just $2000 tasting menus.
Remember when Michelin (the tire company) started ranking restaurants for the purpose of encouraging people to drive to far away restaurants to wear out their tires faster? But now that they’re ranking hotels it’s gotta be a coincidence that they’re in the middle of nowhere only accessible by car
Can’t believe they didn’t include the great wolf lodge
What dream job
We are honoured to have 3 keys @michelinguide @iambenwolff
I stayed at this hotel in St. Eloi Belgium and they had a small museum attached with all of the old WW1/2 uniforms and munitions and the entire property was located where they would dig tunnels underground and blow them up making huge craters. There was a large place on the property you could walk through and see all of the craters and go in bunkers and stuff, we got an entire flat for a family of 4 for 115€ with a great buffet breakfast. It was truly the best place I have ever stayed in my life
Love it @nihi 3 Keys
I stayed at my first Michelin key property this year for my wedding anniversary. We went to AMERON NEUSCHWANSTEIN ALPSEE RESORT & SPA it was amazing. I didn’t even have the chance in the four days. I was there to use all the amenities. It really was a winter wonderland and we stayed in the historic house that they have on the property that was built in the 1700s and it was straight out of a fairytale and I had a castle out each window. It was off-season for that area even though I think winter is absolutely gorgeous there so the pricing was way better than I expected for the level of service.
So helpful 🙌
@playaviva all day, every day, 2 Michelin Keys and one of the world's leading regenerative properties with bamboo treehouses tucked away on a pristine beach on the Pacific Coast of Mexico
I just discovered this in Miami and stayed last second at a hotel & it was amazing
Love that they included value
