Eight. That’s how many MICHELIN Key-holding hotels call Austin home.

What is a MICHELIN Key?
Like a MICHELIN Star indicates phenomenal cuisine, the MICHELIN Key division denotes excellence in lodging. Hotels are eligible to receive one (the lowest), two, or three keys (the highest) depending on quality of experience.

The Commodore Perry Estate — part of the Auberge Resorts Collection — was the only hotel in Austin to be awarded more than one key. Only three hotels in Texas boast two keys, and none have three keys.
