Some 14 Irish Hotels Granted Inaugural Michelin Key Awards

The Michelin Guide has revealed its brand-new key distinctions, including 14 Irish hotels on the list, RTÉ reported this week.

On Monday 1 October, the guide revealed its one-, two- and three-key distinctions for the most outstanding hotels in the UK and Ireland.

As the Michelin star system recognises the most outstanding restaurants in the world, the Michelin key aims to recognise incredible hotels.

While cities were represented on the list, countryside hotels stood out, with the draw of grand buildings and extensive grounds.

Hotels that excelled in design, architecture, service and personality were highlighted on the list.
