On September 12, 2024, the MICHELIN Guide revealed the brand new One, Two, and Three Key distinctions for the most outstanding hotels in Canada.
This announcement comes four years into a comprehensive refresh of our hotel selection. The MICHELIN Guide now includes over 5,000 hotels across the world, and not a single one is simply a room for the night. 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 Inspectors, the Key hotels below represent the highlights of our broader selection. Like the MICHELIN Stars for restaurants, the MICHELIN Keys are our most outstanding hotels.
In total, the 2024 MICHELIN Guide hotel selection in Canada includes a total of 2 Three Key hotels, 8 Two Key hotels, and 23 One Key hotels. Want to know more about the MICHELIN Key? Here’s everything you need to know. Or, head below to look at all the Keys.

The Many Key Hotels of Toronto, Montreal, and Quebec City
It’s something of a law of nature that every hotel brand worth its salt will eventually come to Toronto. Exceptional outposts from city newcomers like the Ace and 1 Hotel Toronto, as well established players like the Four Seasons, all earned recognition on our list of Key hotels here.
An impressive number of Key hotels in other Canadian cities shine for their historic relevance. In Montreal, fully contemporary Key hotels like Le Mount Stephen and Le Place d’Armes Hotel & Suites set up within gorgeous 19th-century facades. In Quebec City, you’ll find another impressive crop of historic buildings. Consider: the Auberge Saint-Antoine, a three centuries-old trio of sites with artifacts from the 1600s on display throughout its spaces.
