New List Ranks Best Hotels In The USA – Texas Has 20, 1 In El Paso
Michelin awards "keys" to the top hotels in the USA and around the world. For North America, Texas has 20 on the list and 1 is in El Paso.
Michelin has 3 levels of greatness when they review hotels. The best hotels earn 3 keys, the next best get 2 keys and some earn 1 key. Even getting 1 key is a challenge as Michelin is very picky.
No Texas hotels hit the triple but 3 of the 20 that made the list scored double keys.
To show you how prestigious this award is, out of all the hotels in the the entire USA, less than 300 made the list. 16 got three keys, 70 got two keys and 207 got a single key. Each of them special and unique in some way.
These are places that significantly add to your experience as a traveler, each vetted and judged excellent in five categories: architecture and interior design, quality and consistency of service, overall personality and character, value for the price, and a significant contribution to the guest experience in a particular setting.
Which brings us back to the Keys. The culmination of countless hours of evaluation by our team of experts, the Key hotels below represent the highlights of our broader selection. - michelin.com
