After a global reveal on Oct. 8, 2025, that announced hundreds of new Keys around the world, the Inspectors' list of the very best hotels in Mexico has been updated with brand new additions and upgrades.
This year, Mexico adds eight new Key hotels — including a newly upgraded Two-Key — and retains its Three-Key gems along the coasts.
Like the MICHELIN Stars for restaurants, the MICHELIN Keys are our most outstanding hotels. Jump straight to the list or check out some of the highlights of the 2025 Mexico Key hotels, below.
The Three-Key Club in Mexico
In the second announcement of MICHELIN’s most outstanding hotels in Mexico, the country’s three top-rated hotels from 2024 retain their Three-Key honors: One&Only Mandarina, Hotel Esencia and Xinalani.
Perhaps unsurprisingly in this country blessed with tropical coastline, each represents the best of beachside luxury, with architecture that takes full advantage of the Mexican landscape and accommodations that hide among the trees on both the Pacific and Caribbean coasts.
A New Two-Key and a Special Selection in Tulum
Tulum is a boutique hotel paradise on the Yucatan Peninsula, a place that evolved over decades from rustic roots into one of the best hotel scenes on the continent in terms of diversity, amenities and sheer style.
In Tulum itself, chic, beachside Be Tulum and high-concept, edge-of-the-city MILAM retain One-Key distinctions — each the pinnacle of two oft-sought experiences in the region.
Meanwhile, Two-Key Casa Chable and newly upgraded Two-Key hotel Wakax Hacienda are highly atypical compounds that create, essentially, their own, completely distinct experiences outside the regular buzz of the city or beaches.
The Beauty of a Mexican Mansion
A handful of these mansion hotels retain Keys in Mexico, from Grana B&B in Oaxaca City, to Pug Seal Allan Poe in Mexico City, to Casa de Sierra Nevada in San Miguel de Allende.
