In April, Michelin Guide announced the first 124 hotels to receive Michelin Keys in the U.S. The new designation identifies properties that stand out for demonstrating unique hospitality concepts, distinctive character, and extremely high levels of service. Hotels in U.S. destinations where the Michelin Guide currently recommends restaurants—Atlanta, Georgia; California; Chicago, Illinois; Colorado; Florida; New York; and Washington, D.C.—are eligible to receive one, two, or three Michelin Keys.
Out of the almost 1,000 U.S. hotels recommended by the Michelin Guide, 11 received three keys, 33 landed two keys, and 80 secured one key. Eight Colorado hotels received one key: Clayton Hotel & Members Club, Four Seasons Hotel Denver, and The Crawford Hotel in Denver; Hotel Jerome, Auberge Resorts Collection, Mollie Aspen, and The Little Nell in Aspen; and Four Seasons Resort and Residences Vail and Sonnenalp Hotel in Vail.
