What is Michelin Key Hotels Database?

This platform is the world's only comprehensive directory dedicated to luxury accommodations recognized by the prestigious MICHELIN Guide with their Key distinctions. The collection currently includes 8,433+ properties across 142 countries worldwide, with listings refreshed daily to ensure accuracy. Whether you are planning an international getaway or searching for a distinguished stay closer to home, the resource makes it simple to discover top-tier lodging vetted by one of the most respected names in hospitality.

Understanding the Key Distinction

The MICHELIN Key is an international accolade awarded to outstanding accommodations and resorts. Similar to the renowned MICHELIN Stars for restaurants, the Key designation recognizes exceptional hospitality experiences across three tiers:

• Three Keys

  Extraordinary experiences with exceptional character, artistry, and service

• Two Keys

  Exceptional lodging with outstanding comfort, design, and personality

• One Key

  Very special accommodations with notable quality, warmth, and distinction

The Mission

The goal is to serve as the definitive resource for discerning travelers seeking the finest places to stay anywhere in the world. The platform provides powerful, user-friendly search and filtering — by region, country, city, brand, and tier — so you can pinpoint the perfect property for your next journey. Every listing links directly to the official MICHELIN Guide page, giving you transparent access to the original review and rating details.

Trusted by Industry Leaders

The directory is recommended by hoteliers, travel agencies, and travelers who understand the same standard of excellence that defines a truly exceptional hospitality experience. They rely on this resource for its breadth, accuracy, and commitment to quality. Our CMO, Claudia, leads our outreach and brand strategy.

Data Sources & Accuracy

Property listings and details are collected from the official MICHELIN Guide, Yelp, Reddit, Google Maps, Forbes Travel Guide, and other sources. This project is also listed on Dang.ai. The collection is refreshed daily so you always have access to the most current information on Key-awarded property statuses worldwide. If a new location earns a distinction — or an existing rating changes — it is reflected here within 24 hours.
