MANILA, PHILIPPINES โ€” The Department of Tourism (DOT) welcomes the latest MICHELIN Guide recognition of Philippine hotels, with the country welcoming its first-ever Two MICHELIN Key properties alongside four newly awarded One MICHELIN Key hotels.

El Nido Resorts Lagen Island in Palawan and Raffles Makati made history as the first Philippine hotels to earn Two MICHELIN Keys, signifying an โ€œexceptional stay.โ€

According to the MICHELIN Guide, El Nido Resorts Lagen Island was recognized for its setting within a forested cove framed by limestone cliffs, Filipino materials and craftsmanship, and its environmentally sound practices.

Meanwhile, Raffles Makati was promoted from One to Two MICHELIN Keys, with the Guide highlighting its all-suite accommodations, private butler service, and intimate residential atmosphere.

Four new properties likewise received their first One MICHELIN Key: NUSTAR Hotel Cebu in Cebu City, El Nido Resorts Pangulasian Island in Palawan, Hotel Okura Manila at Newport World Resorts in Pasay City, and Manami Resort in Sipalay City, Negros Occidental.

Meanwhile, Nay Palad Hideaway in Siargao, Fairmont Makati, and Amanpulo in Palawan retained their One-MICHELIN-Key distinctions from last yearโ€™s selection.

With the unveiling of the 2026 MICHELIN Key selection, the Philippines now has a total of nine MICHELIN-Key hotels.

The MICHELIN Guideโ€™s hotel selection evaluates properties based on five universal criteria: excellence in architecture and interior design, quality and consistency of service, overall personality and character, value for the price, and a significant contribution to the neighborhood or setting.

Serving as the hotel counterpart of the MICHELIN Star for restaurants, the MICHELIN Key recognizes the most outstanding experiences in the hotel selection through One, Two, and Three-Key distinctions.

A One MICHELIN Key denotes a โ€œvery special stay,โ€ recognizing a true gem with personality where service goes the extra mile, while Two MICHELIN Keys signify an โ€œexceptional stayโ€ for a hotel that is unique in every way and where a memorable experience is guaranteed.
