DUBAI, 9 hours, 4 minutes ago
The Michelin Guide is set to launch its first global Michelin Key Selection, set to be revealed on October 8, 2025.
This milestone marks the debut of a worldwide selection celebrating the most outstanding hotels across the globe.
In addition to the Michelin Keys, the Michelin Guide will introduce four brand-new Special Awards, spotlighting excellence in specific areas of hospitality.
The Michelin Guide has built an independent global hotel selection featuring over 7,000 properties located across 125+ countries.
The Michelin Keys highlight the most outstanding stays within the Guide's hotel selection, evaluated by The Michelin Guide Inspectors following five universal criteria.
The Michelin Keys qualify each hotel experience in broader terms than simple amenities, setting a new international and reliable benchmark for exceptional hospitality.
The Michelin Guide will introduce four Special Awards, recognising properties for achievements that transcend classic categories and celebrating excellence and uniqueness in specific hospitality fields.
These awards include the Michelin Architecture & Design Award, which celebrates hotels whose architecture and design inspire unforgettable journeys and elevate the guest experience through a distinctive aesthetic identity;
the Michelin Wellness Award, which recognises properties with pioneering and holistic wellness programs nurturing body, mind, and spirit;
the Michelin Local Gateway Award, honoring hotels that offer guests immersive connections to their surroundings, evoking the character and spirit of their region;
and the Michelin Opening of the Year Award, rewarding newly opened hotels that have made an exceptional impact on the hospitality landscape within their first year.
Each Special Award will be attributed to one winning property, and the winner will be revealed during the Ceremony on October 8th, 2025.
Nomination lists for each award will be unveiled on the Michelin Guide social media and editorial platforms.
The unveiling of the 2025 Michelin Keys selection will take place both digitally across The Michelin Guide social media and editorial platforms and physically during an exclusive Ceremony to be organised in Paris on October 8th, 2025.
The ceremony will gather a selection of awarded hotels, Special Award winners, top journalists, and leading industry opinion leaders, honoring global hospitality cultures, genuine concepts, and remarkable know-how. -TradeArabia News Service
