Michelin Key is Michelin's new rating system for the accommodation sector, previously tourists often knew Michelin stars for cuisine.

The evaluation was conducted by anonymous experts based on five criteria, including: the hotel is a gateway to the journey of discovering the destination; excellent interior design and architecture; quality and consistency in service, comfort and maintenance; consistency between the quality of experience and price; affirming its own identity, reflecting personality and authenticity.

The criteria focus on the overall accommodation experience rather than just amenities, aiming to set new international standards.

Ranking levels:

1 Key - a special stay experience.

2 Key - great stay experience.

3 Key - excellent stay experience (highest level).

In the Southeast Asia region, Thailand has 62 ranked hotels, Indonesia has 33 hotels and Malaysia has 4 hotels honored in this announcement.

Recognition from Michelin is expected to create a new quality race among accommodation establishments, not only in the 5-star segment but also spreading to other segments.

Vietnam has two 3 Michelin Key hotels, a testament to the country's growing reputation for world-class hospitality.
