The 2025 MICHELIN Keys were unveiled on 8th October 2025 during a global ceremony in Paris, marking the latest evolution of the MICHELIN Guide’s hotel distinctions.
Launched last year, the MICHELIN Key — often described as the hotel equivalent of the MICHELIN Star — distinguishes the world’s most exceptional stays. This year, Inspectors refreshed the selection across North America, Europe, and Asia, while expanding it to nearly 100 new countries worldwide.
