Major key alert — Hotel Genevieve has been awarded the prestigious Michelin Key.

What is the Michelin Key? It’s a brand-new award given to hotels, akin to the Michelin star for restaurants. It comes from the Michelin Guide, which is produced annually by the well-known tire manufacturer Michelin — you’ve probably heard of the company’s puffy mascot.

A hotel can be awarded one, two, or three Michelin Keys — Hotel Genevieve received one.

  • One Key: a very special stay
  • Two Keys: an exceptional stay
  • Three Keys: an extraordinary stay

Criteria for the Keys include excellence in design, architecture, service, and personality.
Hotel Genevieve is the only hotel in Kentucky to be awarded a Michelin Key. There are no Michelin star restaurants in the Bluegrass State.
