Michelin Guide to start rating hotels starting in 2024
17-10-23
Michelin expects to publish its first list of the world's best accommodations during the first half of 2024.
The Michelin Guide is expanding. The venerable travel publication has announced it will begin applying its expertise to hotels, according to Bloomberg.
The announcement was made at a special event held by the French tire maker that publishes the guide in Paris on Thursday night. However, hotels considered among the best will not receive stars like their culinary counterparts. Instead, they will receive a "key" emblem.
Recognition will be based on five criteria: contribution to the local experience, excellence in interior design and architecture, individuality, quality and consistency of service, and comfort and consistency between the level of experience and price.
