The Very Best: Every Three MICHELIN Key Hotel in the World

As the countdown to the 2025 Key reveal begins, explore every hotel already awarded our Inspectors’ highest distinction: Three MICHELIN Keys.

MICHELIN Keys Hotels

In 2024, the most outstanding hotels in the MICHELIN selection were awarded between One, Two, and Three MICHELIN Keys across 15 countries. Coming soon: MICHELIN Keys all around the world.  As the countdown begins to the global 2025 selection, browse below every hotel currently holding the highest hotel distinction awarded by MICHELIN Inspectors: Three MICHELIN Keys.

North America: Wild Luxury From Coast to Coast

The most civilized — and the most extreme — corners of the North American landscape are both home to Three Key hotels. These exceptional stays span America's wild islands and desert wilderness, tropical coastlines and rugged mountains, hilly wine regions and sprawling metropolises.

In the far north, Canada offers some of the world's most luxuriously rugged escapes. See: the boldly designed Fogo Island Inn and Vancouver Island’s Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge. At the latter, it's not unheard of to spot a bear from your fully furnished, platformed tent before walking through the woods for a gourmet meal or hot-stone massage.

Moving south, all four corners of the U.S. are represented. Find some of the world's best oceanfront suites in the Florida Keys (Little Palm Island Resort & Spa) and Hawaii (Kona Village, A Rosewood Resort); upscale lodges just outside national parks like Yellowstone (Sage Lodge) and the Grand Canyon (Amangiri); exclusive bungalows with a side of celebrity sightings in Los Angeles (The Beverly Hills Hotel, Hotel Bel-Air); and chic boutiques and sprawling, sky-high resorts in New York City (Crosby Street Hotel, Aman New York).

In Mexico, Latin America’s only Three Key hotels — for now — each claim a unique perch on the country's extensive coastline. Overnight in a treehouse villa above Nayarit’s lush rainforest canopy (One&Only Mandarina) or take a private boat to a luxe yoga retreat on the secluded Pacific coast (Xinalani). On the east coast, watch sea turtles hatch on a 50-acre tropical estate once home to an Italian Duchess (Hotel Esencia).

Europe: Opulent Overnights in Legendary Destinations

Europe boasts more Three Key Hotels than any continent — and France reigns supreme with 30. Here, you'll find everything from riviera elegance (Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc) to wine country manors (Les Sources de Caudalie), alpine chalets (Cheval Blanc Courchevel), and iconic Parisian palaces (Four Seasons Hotel George V, La Réserve, Le Bristol).

Maybe a sprawling five-star resort on the Athenian Riviera in Greece is more your style (Four Seasons Astir Palace), or a stay within the storied walls of a 10th-century Italian castle in the rolling hills of Umbria (Reschio Hotel). In the UK, experience timeless British sophistication in the heart of bustling Mayfair (The Connaught), or check into London’s impressively opulent Old War Office, now reimagined with a spectacular rooftop overlooking Big Ben (Raffles London at The OWO).

Winter sport enthusiasts will want to head to the Three Key hotels of Switzerland — especially those with access to St. Moritz’s legendary slopes (Badrutt's Palace Hotel).

Asia: Contemporary Opulence and Tradition

So far, The MICHELIN Guide has announced Keys in just two countries in Asia — but both have exceptional offerings. In Japan, the Three Key hotels span a variety of styles and experiences:  retreat to an imperial hideaway in a national park (Gora Kadan), stay in a castle-adjacent suite with a private onsen (HOTEL THE MITSUI KYOTO), or soar above Tokyo’s glittering skyline while dining at onsite MICHELIN-starred restaurants (Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo at Otemachi, Bvlgari Hotel Tokyo, Palace Hotel Tokyo).

In Thailand, an array of experiences awaits. Few hotels in the world offer the chance to join farmers at work in surrounding rice paddies (Four Seasons Resort Chiang Mai), or enjoy butler-serviced villas with private pools (Phulay Bay, A Ritz-Carlton Reserve, Amanpuri, Keemala). At Soneva Kiri, dinner is served in a tree pod and delivered via zipline. Classic Thai hospitality, legendary in its own right, can be experienced with a side of history in Bangkok (Mandarin Oriental Bangkok, The Siam).
