On September 12, 2024, the MICHELIN Guide announced that Stillpoint Lodge has been awarded Two MICHELIN Keys in the 2024 MICHELIN Guide, a recognition of our uncompromising commitment to delivering exceptional hospitality experiences.

This marks the second announcement of MICHELIN Keys in North America, expanding the list to include hotels from across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. This update comes four years into a thorough refresh of their hotel selections. The MICHELIN Guide now features over 5,000 hotels worldwide, each one offering more than just a place to rest your head. These hotels enhance the travel experience, having been rigorously evaluated and rated on five criteria: architecture and interior design, quality and consistency of service, overall personality and character, value for money, and their unique contribution to the guest experience.

According to MICHELIN, the Keys represent the pinnacle of evaluations by their anonymous inspectors, highlighting the finest among a broader selection. Similar to the MICHELIN Stars awarded to restaurants, the MICHELIN Keys signify the most exceptional hotels.

Our team is honored to be the first property in Alaska to be awarded by MICHELIN Keys.

While MICHELIN Stars are awarded to restaurants that offer superlative culinary excellence, the MICHELIN Keys recognize hotels that deliver extraordinary stays and memorable experiences. We are incredibly proud to be featured alongside renowned properties around the world and deeply grateful to our devoted team members, partners, and guests for their unwavering support.

What is MICHELIN Keys?

Way back in the 1920s, the MICHELIN Guide made its first hotel recommendations, and hotels have been featured in guides across Europe and Asia ever since. Four years ago, a comprehensive refresh of the hotel selection began, aimed at providing a complete travel experience for users. Visitors can explore a definitive list of memorable restaurants and hotels worldwide on the website or mobile app, complete with insights from the selection team.

The 2024 MICHELIN Guide now recommends over 5,000 hotels globally.

The MICHELIN Key distinction highlights the crème de la crème of these hotels. Each one excels in design, architecture, service, and personality, with the Key denoting the most outstanding experiences.

Every hotel in the MICHELIN Guide is eligible for a Key. Over the past four years, a team of independent experts has vetted more than 5,000 remarkable hotels, selecting those that offer the most exceptional stays for this special distinction.
