The MICHELIN Guide has launched the MICHELIN Key award in Thailand. This award will be presented to outstanding hotels and accommodations that offer special experiences to travelers.
To be eligible, properties must meet five judging criteria: architecture and interior design, quality and consistency of service, distinctive unique character, value for money, and the ability to provide guests with special experiences connected to the hotel’s local surroundings.
In total, the 2024 MICHELIN Guide hotel selection in Thailand includes a total of 8 Three Key hotels, 19 Two Key hotels, and 31 One Key hotels.
Bangkok dominates the MICHELIN Key selections, with 17 hotels earning the prestigious award – nearly a third of all recipients. The capital’s skyline-defining luxury hotels feature prominently, including the Rosewood Bangkok, Okura Prestige Bangkok, The Standard Bangkok, Oriental Residence, and InterContinental Bangkok.
Standing out from these towering properties is the Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok at Chao Phraya River. This mid-rise complex showcases the work of Jean-Michel Gathy, the legendary designer behind Amanpuri in Phuket – the original Aman resort, which itself received the coveted Three Keys distinction in this year’s MICHELIN Guide.
