When you sign up for a Plus membership from the MICHELIN Guide, you unlock elevated experiences at over 1,400 participating hotels. One of the most popular Plus member perks — along with room upgrades, late check-out, and complimentary breakfast — is the $100 credit. Below, some suggestions for how to spend it at seven truly exceptional hotels.
The panoramic terrace at Therasia Resort offers a rare vantage point from which all seven Aeolian Islands can be viewed. Use your credit for a sunset apertivo: small bites, Sicilian wine, and the sky's light dropping behind the archipelago. Or, put it toward the resort's volcanic wellness ritual that blends detoxifying volcanic minerals, sensory showers, and custom facials or body rituals. Lastly, there's always MICHELIN Star dining at Il Cappero.
7Pines Resort has a number of secluded, seaside coves that you can reserve for a variety of personalized activities. Your credit would go great with a gourmet picnic, a candlelight dinner, a massage, spa treatment, or meditation session. All right on the beach. Whichever option you choose, you'll enjoy breathtaking views and the soothing sounds of the waves.
This one is simple. You're already in the famous Roman spa town of Bath, so consider spending your credit on a treatment at the Royal Crescent's airy, light-filled spa. They have a proud partnership with GROUND, whose wellness products are hand-crafted in small batches and made of 100% natural, vegan ingredients. GROUND also offers specialized treatments for cancer care, pregnancy, and menopause.

The Bellport Inn sits across the Bellport Bay from Fire Island, where Bellport has its own private beach, a lovely coastal haven called Ho Hum. Use your credit for the scenic ferry across the bay and a relaxing day at the beach. When it gets dark, a bottle of wine back at the hotel's fire pit, or a soak in their wood-burning hot tub are also worthy options.
Titilaka facilitates full-day journeys that provide immersive, educational tours of local communities. You'll travel across Lake Titicaca to the man-made floating islands of the Uros Titino people, where totora reeds form the foundation of daily life. Next, visit a hilltop home on the island of Taquile for a simple lunch with incredible views of the lake and mountains.
When in Wine Country, you have to wine. Use your Plus credit for an expert-guided experience at Meadowood Napa Valley's Wine Center. The seasonal classes are a particular highlight, like the summer's “Rosé All Day,” where you'll go beneath the pink surface to learn how rosé is produced, how it's best paired, and how it deserves to be taken seriously.
Acro is hosting a series of Michelin dining events, and we can't imagine a more perfect way to use your credit. Giannis Rokanas, the executive chef at Acro, will welcome a series of renown MICHELIN Star chefs throughout the summer. Together, the chefs will prepare exciting seasonal menus. The cost is 120 EUR per person and requires a reservation. The dining events will happen July 7th, July 18th, August 8th, August 18th, and September 5th.
