How the award is granted
The MICHELIN Key is awarded based on an independent assessment by inspectors who analyze dozens of criteria — from comfort level and quality of service to atmosphere, design, and the authenticity of the experience.

Being included in this list means recognition on the international hospitality stage and guarantees the trust of travelers around the world.
