One of the most respected recognitions in the global world of hospitality, this award places us among an elite group of hotels whose excellence goes far beyond exceptional service—it highlights destinations that offer deeply meaningful, memorable, and transformative stays.

To be acknowledged by MICHELIN in this category is a tremendous honor, and it reflects both the character of Stillpoint and the soulful experience guests find here.

MICHELIN Keys evaluate hotels not just on comfort or amenities, but on authenticity, design, sustainability, and the emotional impact of a stay. Stillpoint’s recognition affirms what we have always believed: that our remote setting, handcrafted spaces, and intentional approach to hospitality create an experience unlike any other. Guests aren’t simply visiting a lodge—they’re entering a sanctuary tucked between wilderness, water, and wonder.

This award also speaks to the heart and dedication of our entire team. Every guide, chef, gardener, server, housekeeper, and captain contributes to the feeling of seamless care that MICHELIN celebrates. From warm welcomes at the dock to thoughtful touches in every cabin, to personalized adventures crafted with expertise and love, the recognition reflects the collective effort of a staff committed to excellence and authenticity in all we do.

Receiving MICHELIN Keys also highlights the uniqueness of Stillpoint’s environment. Few honored hotels exist in a world as raw and breathtaking as Halibut Cove. The award recognizes that true luxury can be found in silence, in wildlife passing by the window, in a sauna warmed after a glacier hike, or in the calm of watching the tide rise and fall. MICHELIN celebrates hotels that offer a sense of place—and here, that sense of place is powerful, grounding, and unforgettable.
 

Above all, this recognition fills us with gratitude.

To our guests, thank you for letting Stillpoint become part of your stories. To our staff, thanks for calling this place home for half the year and going above and beyond every day to hone your craft in service of others. To MICHELIN, thank you for seeing the depth and intentionality of what we do. As we celebrate this honor, we remain committed to stewarding this land, nurturing this lodge, and continually elevating the guest experience—so that every stay at Stillpoint Lodge feels worthy of the keys we've earned.
