IHG Hotels & Resorts is proud to announce the respected recognition of MICHELIN Keys awarded to 14 of its luxury and lifestyle properties in Europe and Asia. The MICHELIN Key serves as the hotel equivalent to the MICHELIN Star awarded to restaurants and recognizes hotels for providing exceptional stays that meet the highest standards of hospitality. This included a trio of hotels receiving the elevated 2 MICHELIN Keys distinction:

·         Six Senses Samui

·         Six Senses Yao Noi

The MICHELIN Guide’s inaugural hotel awards program, MICHELIN Keys, highlights hotels offering so much more than a room for the night, with key recipients selected from over 5,000 hotels included within the long-standing MICHELIN Guide. Distinction is based on five criteria: excellence in architecture and design, service quality, overall personality and character, value for the price and meaningful contributions to the local community. Among the 14 awarded IHG properties, eleven received 1 Key, while 3 earned 2 Keys. This achievement reinforces IHG Hotels & Resorts' position as a leader in luxury hospitality.
