The First MICHELIN Key Hotels in the UK & Ireland

October 2024 saw the MICHELIN Guide reveal the brand new One, Two and Three Key distinctions for the most outstanding hotels in the UK and Ireland.

14 properties earned the highest hotel honour in the UK and the Republic of Ireland, the exclusive Three Key distinction. Of these, one makes its home in the Scottish countryside (The Gleneagles Hotel), two in 19th-century country estates (Adare Manor and Ballyfin Demesne) in the Republic of Ireland, three in the English countryside (Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons, Lucknam Park and the Newt in Somerset), and the rest across some of the most impressive addresses in London. Among the latter, are such iconic British names as Claridge’s, The Connaught and The Savoy.

Among the 27 Two MICHELIN Key recipients are Rosewood London, The Balmoral in Edinburgh, The Royal Crescent Hotel & Spa in Bath and Lympstone Manor in Exmouth. 72 receive One Key status including London’s Beaverbrook Town House, Artist Residence Cornwall, 100 Princes Street in Edinburgh, Cliff House Hotel on Ireland’s south coast and Kinloch Lodge in Jersey.
