The prestigious Michelin Guide has expanded its renowned recognition from restaurants to hotels with the introduction of the Michelin Key awards. The first-ever global selection celebrates hotels providing exceptional stays by excelling in design, service, personality, value, and their contribution to their location. Wonderfully, seven Singapore hotels shine under the Michelin Key distinction. The award includes the iconic Raffles Hotel Singapore, which stood out by receiving the highest accolade of Three Keys, alongside six other stunning One Keys hotels. Here’s what we know.
Which are the Michelin Key Hotels in Singapore?
The seven Michelin Key hotels in Singapore include one Three Key hotel and six One Key hotels. Raffles Hotel Singapore, famous for its heritage and timeless charm, is the sole recipient of the Three Key rating. This award is for extraordinary stays where guest experience unparalleled comfort, antiques reflection of Singapore’s colonial past, legendary bars, and impeccable service—making it a historic yet luxurious landmark.
Meanwhile, the six One Key hotels—Artyzen Singapore, Capella Singapore, Four Seasons Hotel Singapore, Mandarin Oriental Singapore, PARKROYAL COLLECTION Pickering, and Raffles Sentosa—offer outstanding hospitality that goes beyond standard expectations. Each property brings a unique blend of architectural excellence, serene ambiance, and personalised service that enhances the guest experience in different locations across the city. In fact, we were guests at Artyzen Singapore last year and we explain in this article review why it excels in luxury travel.
What sets them apart from other local hotels?
According to Michelin, what sets these luxurious hotels apart is a combination of five universal criteria. These are excellence in architecture and interior design, service quality and consistency, distinctive personality, and character, value for the price, and meaningful neighbourhood contribution.
Properties like Capella Singapore on Sentosa provides a tranquil sanctuary with lush tropical gardens and elegant designs that has attracted global stars like Taylor Swift. Meanwhile, PARKROYAL COLLECITON Pickering impresses with its integration of nature through terrace greenery and sustainable concepts. In fact, our team also reviewed this hotel before. Plus, Mandarin Oriental, Four Seasons, and Raffles Sentosa stand out for their refined luxury and exclusivity.
