Michelin Guide has unveiled its global Keys selection for 2025 earlier this month. This year’s inaugural edition honours over 2,000 properties worldwide while recommending over 5,000 commendable destinations for their excellent hospitality. In Hong Kong and Macau, 18 properties were awarded this esteemed accolade, split across three categories like their Michelin stars for restaurants: One Key, Two Keys, and Three Keys.
Among these 18 top-notch hotels in our territories, The Peninsula Hong Kong was awarded two keys for its world-class service and old-world glamour, while the harmonious marriage of modern luxury and urban quirkiness earned The Upper House two keys for this year as well. Rosewood Hong Kong was awarded the highest accolade – Three Keys – for its understated interiors, comprehensive wellness facility, and spectacular sweeping harbour views offered in its rooms.
While Macau’s properties have yet to receive a three-key distinction, four hotels were awarded two keys for offering exceptional stays to their guests. City of Dreams – Morpheus stands out with its Hadidian architecture and culinary destinations, while three properties in the Cotai Lisboa integrated resort – The Karl Lagerfeld, Palazzo Versace Macau, and Grand Lisboa Palace Macau – received two keys each for their distinctive Sino-Portuguese design and unapologetic glamour.
The Michelin Key for Hotels recognises the most outstanding properties around the world, from reputable brands to hidden gems. Beyond a hospitality award, the Michelin Key judges hotels based on the experiences they offer, with criteria encompassing design, architecture, service, and personality.
