22 Florida Hotels Awarded Highest Michelin Rating
Inspectors awarded 7,000 global hotels a Michelin key rating, including nearly 22 in Florida and only one received the highest honor.
The Michelin Guide, globally recognized for its restaurant ratings and star selections, has broadened its scope to include hotels and recently awarded nearly 2,500 a coveted Michelin Key.
Similar to how Stars identify the world's best culinary experiences, the Michelin Keys spotlight exceptional stays from the guide's selection of over 7,500 hotels. Michelin Guide inspectors meticulously assess each hotel based on five universal criteria, evaluating the entire hospitality experience beyond individual amenities. This establishes a new and independent global benchmark for excellence in lodging, according to Michelin.
In Florida, 22 hotels received a one to three Key rating; however, only one of those hotels earned the top three-key ranking.
