Six Senses Awarded MICHELIN Keys in Europe and Asia
Creating
a good hotel, Mark Twain wrote, “is an art apart”. A 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. 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.
Two
Keys: Six Senses Samui
“The
split-level villas are classic island accommodations in every way, decked out
in rich local hardwoods, with open-plan bathrooms, outdoor showers, and in most
units, infinity-edge pools with unimpeded views out to sea … It’s an immersive
experience, and the ‘hideaway’ tag is quite apt.”
Responding
to the accolade, Johannes Steyn, General Manager of Six Senses Samui, said, “We
are dedicated to providing our guests with memorable experiences during their
stay. Two MICHELIN Keys are a huge tribute to all our hosts and the way they
help guests reconnect and enjoy the relaxing benefits of nature in our
picturesque hideaway.”
Two
Keys: Six Senses Yao Noi
“Here
you’re surrounded by calm seas, sheltered by the bay, with views of the jutting
limestone formations that rise out of the waters … An idyllic location is just
one-third of the formula. Next on the list are the villas …And the last third
is the Six Senses Spa.”
“This
achievement makes us even more determined to deliver emotional hospitality in
keeping with our ethos of sustainability, wellness, and awe-inspiring
experiences,” said Graham Grant, Regional General Manager of Six Senses
Southeast Asia.
One
Key: Six Senses Rome
“The
rooms pay tribute to Rome’s history but feel more directly inspired by
contemporary Italian luxury design … The spa, naturally, is a lavish one, a
Roman bath to end all Roman baths.”
One
Key: Six Senses Kyoto
“Kyoto
is, for a multitude of reasons, no ordinary city — and while the Six Senses
Kyoto lies within the city limits, surrounded by walkable sights and
picturesque neighborhoods, it’s perfectly capable of offering travelers a
thoroughly transformative experience.”
