Michelin Keys: Best Point Redemptions [Full Guide 2026]
Over 1,000 Michelin Key hotels are bookable with loyalty points. A complete guide to every Marriott Bonvoy, Hyatt, Hilton, IHG, and Accor property with Michelin Keys — including 7 Three-Key hotels bookable with points.
The Michelin Key system now covers 8,425 hotels across 141 countries — and over 1,000 of them belong to major hotel loyalty programs. That means a significant number of the world's best hotels, as rated by anonymous Michelin inspectors, are bookable with points.
This guide covers every Michelin Key hotel you can book through Marriott Bonvoy, World of Hyatt, Hilton Honors, IHG One Rewards, and Accor ALL — organized by loyalty program, with approximate points costs and the best redemption values.
The Big Picture: Loyalty Programs by the Numbers
| Loyalty Program | Total Michelin Hotels | Three-Key | Two-Key | One-Key |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Marriott Bonvoy | 300 | 4 | 11 | 62 |
| Accor ALL | 272 | 3 | 19 | 44 |
| IHG One Rewards | 232 | 0 | 9 | 33 |
| World of Hyatt | 165 | 0 | 4 | 22 |
| Hilton Honors | 83 | 0 | 2 | 11 |
| SLH (Hilton partner) | 9 | 0 | 2 | 5 |
| Total | 1,061 | 7 | 47 | 177 |
Marriott Bonvoy leads in sheer volume with 300 Michelin-rated properties, but Accor ALL punches hardest at the top tier with 3 Three-Key hotels. Let's break down each program.
Marriott Bonvoy: 300 Michelin Key Hotels
Marriott's massive portfolio delivers the most Michelin Key hotels of any loyalty program — and the most Three-Key properties bookable with points.
Three-Key Properties (4 Hotels)
These are the crown jewels: the only Three-Key Michelin hotels bookable with a mainstream points currency.
| Hotel | Location | Cash Price | Points/Night (approx.) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phulay Bay, A Ritz-Carlton Reserve | Krabi, Thailand | $1,127 | 80,000–150,000 |
| Mandapa, A Ritz-Carlton Reserve | Ubud, Indonesia | $1,285 | 85,000–180,000 |
| Rissai Valley, A Ritz-Carlton Reserve | Jiuzhaigou, China | $1,532 | 80,000–200,000 |
| Hotel the Mitsui Kyoto | Kyoto, Japan | — | 100,000–180,000 |
What changed in 2026: The 2025 global expansion added Mandapa (Indonesia) and Rissai Valley (China) to the Three-Key tier — both bookable with Bonvoy points. Hotel the Mitsui Kyoto, a Luxury Collection property, also holds Three Keys. These were not available in prior editions of this guide.
Best redemption value: Phulay Bay in Krabi at 80,000 points delivers roughly 1.4 cents per point — nearly double the average Bonvoy redemption value of ~0.8 cents. Book five nights to trigger the 5th Night Free benefit, dropping your effective cost to 64,000 points per night.
Two-Key Properties (11 Hotels)
| Hotel | Location | Brand | Points/Night (approx.) |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Gritti Palace | Venice, Italy | Luxury Collection | 100,000–240,000 |
| The St. Regis Rome | Rome, Italy | St. Regis | 70,000–140,000 |
| The Ritz-Carlton Hotel de la Paix | Geneva, Switzerland | Ritz-Carlton | 100,000–160,000 |
| The Ritz-Carlton, Berlin | Berlin, Germany | Ritz-Carlton | 60,000–120,000 |
| The Ritz-Carlton, Nikko | Nikko, Japan | Ritz-Carlton | 100,000–160,000 |
| Zadun, A Ritz-Carlton Reserve | San José del Cabo, Mexico | Ritz-Carlton | 131,000–212,000 |
| The St. Regis Bora Bora | Bora Bora, French Polynesia | St. Regis | 120,000–240,000 |
| JW Marriott Masai Mara Lodge | Masai Mara, Kenya | JW Marriott | — |
| Nekajui, A Ritz-Carlton Reserve | Peninsula Papagayo, Costa Rica | Ritz-Carlton | — |
| Nujuma, A Ritz-Carlton Reserve | The Red Sea, Saudi Arabia | Ritz-Carlton | — |
| Hôtel de Tourrel | Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France | Design | 50,000–85,000 |
Best Two-Key redemption: The Ritz-Carlton Berlin at 60,000 points per night is the cheapest Two-Key Marriott property on points — and Berlin is significantly less expensive than Geneva, Venice, or Bora Bora for dining and activities. Hôtel de Tourrel in Provence is another standout at just 50,000 points through Design Hotels.
New in 2026: The global expansion brought several Two-Key properties into new markets: St. Regis Bora Bora (French Polynesia), JW Marriott Masai Mara (Kenya), Nekajui (Costa Rica), and Nujuma (Saudi Arabia). These represent entirely new redemption opportunities that did not exist in 2025.
One-Key Properties (62 Hotels)
Marriott's One-Key roster spans the globe. Notable highlights:
| Hotel | Location | Brand | Points/Night (approx.) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ritz-Carlton New York, Central Park | New York City | Ritz-Carlton | 120,000–240,000 |
| The Ritz-Carlton, Kyoto | Kyoto, Japan | Ritz-Carlton | 85,000–165,000 |
| The Ritz-Carlton, Tokyo | Tokyo, Japan | Ritz-Carlton | 100,000–220,000 |
| The Ritz-Carlton, Wolfsburg | Wolfsburg, Germany | Ritz-Carlton | 35,000–75,000 |
| Hotel Drover | Fort Worth, USA | Autograph | 35,000–70,000 |
| The Cloudveil | Jackson, USA | Autograph | 70,000–180,000 |
| W Osaka | Osaka, Japan | W | 45,000–85,000 |
| JW Marriott Hotel Nara | Nara, Japan | JW Marriott | 35,000–70,000 |
| The Westin Palace Madrid | Madrid, Spain | Westin | 40,000–85,000 |
Best value One-Key redemptions: The Ritz-Carlton Wolfsburg at 35,000 points is the cheapest Ritz-Carlton in the Michelin system. Hotel Drover in Fort Worth and JW Marriott Nara also start at just 35,000 points — extraordinary value for Michelin-recognized properties.
A Note on Bvlgari
Three Bvlgari hotels hold Michelin Three Keys (Bvlgari Hotel Roma, Bvlgari Hotel Tokyo, Bvlgari Hotel London), and while they appear on Marriott.com, Bvlgari hotels do not participate in Marriott Bonvoy. You cannot earn or redeem points, and elite status benefits do not apply.
Accor ALL: 272 Michelin Key Hotels
Accor is the dark horse. With 272 Michelin-rated hotels, it trails only Marriott — and it holds the most Three-Key properties of any European-based loyalty program.
Three-Key Properties (3 Hotels)
| Hotel | Location | Cash Price | Points/Night (approx.) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Raffles Hotel, Singapore | Singapore | $1,307 | 90,000–135,000 |
| Raffles London at The OWO | London, UK | $1,139 | 80,000–120,000 |
| Lucknam Park, Emblems Collection | Colerne, UK | $637 | 45,000–70,000 |
Best redemption value: Lucknam Park at 45,000 Accor points is the cheapest Three-Key redemption across any loyalty program. The 17th-century Palladian mansion in the Wiltshire countryside is also one of the most affordable Three-Key hotels at $637 cash — making the points redemption doubly compelling.
Pro tip: Accor frequently runs points purchase promotions at 25–40% discounts. Buying discounted points for a Raffles redemption can push your effective value well above the standard 2.2 cents per point.
Two-Key Properties (19 Hotels)
Accor's Two-Key roster is the strongest of any program, spanning Raffles, Banyan Tree, and Fairmont.
| Hotel | Location | Brand |
|---|---|---|
| Le Royal Monceau - Raffles Paris | Paris, France | Raffles |
| Orient Express La Minerva | Rome, Italy | Orient Express |
| Raffles Bali | Bali, Indonesia | Raffles |
| Raffles Udaipur | Udaipur, India | Raffles |
| Raffles Jaipur | Jaipur, India | Raffles |
| Raffles Boston | Boston, USA | Raffles |
| Raffles Doha | Doha, Qatar | Raffles |
| Banyan Tree Mayakoba | Riviera Maya, Mexico | Banyan Tree |
| Banyan Tree Krabi | Krabi, Thailand | Banyan Tree |
| Banyan Tree Samui | Koh Samui, Thailand | Banyan Tree |
| Banyan Tree Lang Co | Thua Thien Hue, Vietnam | Banyan Tree |
| Fairmont Chateau Whistler | Whistler, Canada | Fairmont |
| Fairmont Golden Prague | Prague, Czech Republic | Fairmont |
| Fairmont Le Montreux Palace | Montreux, Switzerland | Fairmont |
New in 2026: The global expansion brought a wave of new Accor Two-Key properties, especially in Asia and the Middle East. Raffles Bali, Raffles Udaipur, Raffles Jaipur, Banyan Tree Krabi, Banyan Tree Lang Co, and Banyan Tree Samui are all new additions — representing major new redemption opportunities for Accor loyalists.
IHG One Rewards: 232 Michelin Key Hotels
IHG's Michelin portfolio is dominated by InterContinental and Six Senses, with the latter delivering the program's strongest luxury presence.
Two-Key Properties (9 Hotels)
| Hotel | Location | Brand |
|---|---|---|
| Six Senses Krabey Island | Krabey Island, Cambodia | Six Senses |
| Six Senses Fiji | Malolo Island, Fiji | Six Senses |
| Six Senses Fort Barwara | Sawai Madhopur, India | Six Senses |
| Six Senses Douro Valley | Lamego, Portugal | Six Senses |
| Six Senses Southern Dunes | The Red Sea, Saudi Arabia | Six Senses |
| Six Senses Zil Pasyon | Seychelles | Six Senses |
| Six Senses Samui | Koh Samui, Thailand | Six Senses |
| Six Senses Yao Noi | Phang Nga, Thailand | Six Senses |
| InterContinental Phuket | Phuket, Thailand | InterContinental |
What changed in 2026: IHG's Six Senses acquisition is paying dividends in the Michelin system. Six Senses properties in Cambodia, Fiji, India, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, and Seychelles are all new to the Michelin Key system — and all bookable with IHG points. This transforms IHG from an afterthought in luxury travel to a legitimate premium program.
One-Key Properties (33 Hotels)
Notable IHG One-Key properties include:
| Hotel | Location | Brand | Points/Night (approx.) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Six Senses Rome | Rome, Italy | Six Senses | 120,000–280,000 |
| Six Senses Kyoto | Kyoto, Japan | Six Senses | 200,000–300,000 |
| InterContinental Grand Hôtel Bordeaux | Bordeaux, France | InterContinental | 90,000–140,000 |

| Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok | Bangkok, Thailand | Kimpton | 40,000–70,000 |
World of Hyatt: 165 Michelin Key Hotels
Hyatt's Michelin presence is smaller than Marriott or Accor but delivers outsized value thanks to Hyatt's industry-leading points valuations.
Two-Key Properties (4 Hotels)
| Hotel | Location | Brand | Points/Night (approx.) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Park Hyatt Vienna | Vienna, Austria | Park Hyatt | 25,000–35,000 |
| Park Hyatt Bangkok | Bangkok, Thailand | Park Hyatt | 17,000–23,000 |
| Alila Jabal Akhdar | Nizwa, Oman | Alila | — |
| Alila Ventana Big Sur | Big Sur, USA | Alila | 35,000–45,000 |
Best redemption value: Park Hyatt Bangkok at 17,000 Hyatt points per night is arguably the single best luxury hotel redemption in any loyalty program. With Hyatt points valued at roughly 2 cents each, you are getting a $340 value for a Two-Key Michelin hotel that occupies 27 floors above Bangkok's Central Embassy. At cash rates of $300–500/night, this is a near-perfect redemption.
New in 2026: Alila Jabal Akhdar in Oman — a dramatic cliff-edge resort in the Al Hajar mountains — is a new Two-Key addition from the global expansion.
One-Key Properties (22 Hotels)
| Hotel | Location | Brand | Points/Night (approx.) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Park Hyatt Kyoto | Kyoto, Japan | Park Hyatt | 25,000–35,000 |
| Park Hyatt Niseko | Niseko, Japan | Park Hyatt | 35,000–45,000 |

| Andaz Vienna | Vienna, Austria | Andaz | 9,000–15,000 |
| Andaz Munich | Munich, Germany | Andaz | 17,000–23,000 |
| The Beekman | New York City | Thompson | 21,000–29,000 |
| Royal Palms Resort | Phoenix, USA | Unbound Collection | 21,000–29,000 |
Best value: Andaz Vienna at 9,000 Hyatt points is the cheapest Michelin Key hotel redemption across all loyalty programs. At $180 value per night, that is 2 cents per point for a One-Key hotel in one of Europe's great capitals.
Hilton Honors: 83 Michelin Key Hotels (+ 9 SLH Partners)
Hilton's direct Michelin Key portfolio is the smallest of the major programs, but the SLH (Small Luxury Hotels of the World) partnership adds valuable redemption options.
Two-Key Properties (2 Hotels + 2 SLH)
| Hotel | Location | Brand | Points/Night (approx.) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal | Cabo San Lucas, Mexico | Waldorf Astoria | 1,000,000 |
| Hampton Manor | Hampton-in-Arden, UK | — | — |
| Grand Hotel Victoria | Menaggio, Italy | SLH | 120,000–240,000 |
| The Sukhothai Bangkok | Bangkok, Thailand | SLH | 35,000–120,000 |
SLH partnership: Hilton's portfolio deal with Small Luxury Hotels of the World means select SLH properties can be booked with Hilton Honors points and elite members receive status benefits. This adds 9 Michelin-rated hotels to Hilton's effective roster, including two Two-Key properties.
One-Key Properties (11 Hotels + 5 SLH)
Notable Hilton One-Key properties:
| Hotel | Location | Brand | Points/Night (approx.) |
|---|---|---|---|

| The Tokyo Station Hotel | Tokyo, Japan | SLH | 200,000–400,000 |
Brands Without Points Programs
Several luxury brands with strong Michelin Key presence do not operate traditional points programs. Here is how to maximize value with each.
Four Seasons (10 Three-Key Hotels)
Four Seasons has the most Three-Key hotels of any brand but no points program. Book through the Four Seasons Preferred Partner (FSPP) program via an eligible travel advisor to get complimentary daily breakfast, a $100 hotel credit, room upgrade priority, and early check-in / late check-out — easily worth $200–400 per night.
Aman (7 Three-Key Hotels)
Aman has no loyalty program of any kind. The brand's philosophy is that the experience speaks for itself.
Rosewood (6 Three-Key Hotels)
The Rosewood Explorer program offers a complimentary night after every third paid stay, plus room upgrades and dining credits.
Mandarin Oriental (3 Three-Key Hotels)
Fans of M.O. is recognition-based (no points). Also bookable through Virtuoso and Amex Fine Hotels + Resorts for perks.
Belmond (4 Three-Key Hotels)
The Bellini Club, accessible through travel advisors, provides complimentary breakfast, room upgrades, and a $100 hotel credit.
The Best Point Redemptions: Our Top Picks for 2026
Best Overall: Phulay Bay, A Ritz-Carlton Reserve
Three Michelin Keys. Starting at 80,000 Marriott Bonvoy points. A private-pool villa resort on Thailand's Andaman coast with dedicated butler service. This is the single best Three-Key hotel redemption in any loyalty program.
Best Value: Park Hyatt Bangkok
Two Michelin Keys. Starting at 17,000 World of Hyatt points. Occupying 27 floors above Bangkok's most prestigious shopping district, with a figure-eight shaped infinity pool and some of the best dining in the Thai capital. At 17,000 points, this is an absurd steal.
Best Budget: Andaz Vienna Am Belvedere
One Michelin Key. Starting at 9,000 World of Hyatt points. A design-forward hotel steps from the Belvedere Palace in Vienna. At 9,000 points — less than a standard Hyatt Place in a US suburb — this is the cheapest Michelin Key hotel redemption anywhere.
Best New Addition: Six Senses Zil Pasyon, Seychelles
Two Michelin Keys. Bookable with IHG One Rewards points. A private island resort in the Seychelles with just 30 pool villas. New to the Michelin system in 2025 and immediately earning Two Keys.
Best Splurge: Raffles Hotel, Singapore
Three Michelin Keys. Starting at 90,000 Accor ALL points. The 137-year-old colonial icon that invented the Singapore Sling. One of only three Three-Key hotels bookable outside the Marriott system.
Transfer Partners: Getting Points to These Programs
Most of these redemptions are accessible through credit card transfer partnerships:

- Amex → Hyatt at 1:1 for the best per-point value across all programs
What Changed From 2025 to 2026
The 2025 Michelin Key global expansion transformed the loyalty program landscape:
New markets opened. Michelin now rates hotels in 141 countries, up from 15. This brought hundreds of loyalty program properties in Asia, the Middle East, South America, and Africa into the system for the first time.
More Three-Key options. The number of Three-Key hotels bookable with points grew from 1 (Phulay Bay) to 7, including new entries in Indonesia, China, Singapore, and the UK.
IHG became relevant. The Six Senses brand brought 9 Two-Key properties into IHG's portfolio — up from zero premium-tier options.
Accor emerged as a contender. Raffles and Banyan Tree properties across Asia and the Middle East gave Accor the largest Two-Key footprint of any program.
SLH added budget luxury. The Hilton-SLH partnership now includes 9 Michelin-rated properties, many at significantly lower point costs than comparable Waldorf Astoria redemptions.
