Internationally renowned for its restaurant selections and Star ratings, The MICHELIN Guide has expanded in recent years to relaunch a global hotel selection of over 9,000 properties across more than 100 countries. Just as Stars recognize the world’s finest culinary experiences, the MICHELIN Keys highlight the most outstanding stays within the Guide’s hotel selection. Carefully assessed by MICHELIN Guide Inspectors using five universal criteria, the Keys evaluate each hotel’s overall hospitality experience – beyond individual amenities – establishing a new and the first independent global benchmark for excellence in lodging.
 

These accolades come at an exciting moment for Auberge Collection, as the brand continues its thoughtful and strategic expansion across European and urban markets. In early 2027, Auberge Collection will introduce two new properties, Cambridge House, Auberge Collection in London and The Knox, Auberge Collection in Dallas. Cambridge House will bring refined luxury, bespoke service, world-class dining, and a dedicated wellbeing destination to London’s storied Mayfair, while The Knox will offer an urban retreat in Dallas’s Knox Street district shaped by the neighborhood’s creative spirit and defined by elevated design, dining, and thoughtfully curated guest experiences.
