Singapore shines in the inaugural Michelin Keys awards, with seven luxury hotels recognised for exceptional design, service, and character.
Singapore’s hotel sector has just earned a new distinction on the global stage. At the inaugural Michelin Keys awards, seven hotels in the city-state have been named among the world’s most outstanding stays, with Raffles Hotel Singapore claiming the top “Three Keys” honour.
What Are Michelin Keys?
The Michelin Keys programme is a newly launched extension of the Michelin brand into the world of hospitality.
Just as Michelin Stars recognise exceptional restaurants, Michelin Keys aim to spotlight hotels that offer distinguished quality, character, and service.
Hotels are assessed across five criteria:
- Quality and consistency of service
- Excellence in architecture and interior design
- Overall personality and character
- Value for the price
- A meaningful contribution to the neighbourhood or setting
According to Michelin, over 2,400 hotels globally were considered, with the final selection representing a new benchmark for premium hospitality.
Singapore’s Michelin Key Hotels
This is the first time any Singapore hotels have been named in the Michelin Keys guide, with seven hotels being honoured.
