In the Michelin Guide’s first-ever hotel recognition program, Michelin Keys, Six Senses Hotels and Resorts has earned prestigious honors for its commitment to high standards and unforgettable guest experiences. Two of the brand’s properties in Thailand—Six Senses Samui and Six Senses Yao Noi—received Two Keys, while Six Senses Rome and Six Senses Kyoto were each awarded One Key.

A Michelin Key is considered the hotel industry’s counterpart to the renowned Michelin Star in dining, identifying properties that excel across five key areas: architecture and design, service quality, character, value, and contributions to the local community.

Two Keys for Six Senses in Thailand

Six Senses Samui

The “hideaway” appeal of Six Senses Samui, paired with its open-plan villas, infinity-edge pools, and lush natural setting, earned it Two Michelin Keys. Johannes Steyn, General Manager of Six Senses Samui, celebrated the recognition, noting, “Two Michelin Keys are a huge tribute to all our hosts and the way they help guests reconnect and enjoy the relaxing benefits of nature in our picturesque hideaway.”

Six Senses Yao Noi

Located in Thailand’s Phang Nga Bay, Six Senses Yao Noi offers a serene escape where the calm sea and limestone formations create a remarkable backdrop. With luxurious villas and a signature Six Senses Spa, the resort captured the spirit of relaxation and well-being that the brand is known for. Graham Grant, Regional General Manager of Six Senses Southeast Asia, emphasized the significance of the award, stating, “This achievement makes us even more determined to deliver emotional hospitality in keeping with our ethos of sustainability, wellness, and awe-inspiring experiences.”

One Key Recognitions in Europe and Japan

Six Senses Rome

Combining contemporary Italian design with nods to Rome’s historic grandeur, Six Senses Rome is an embodiment of style and sophistication. The hotel’s spa, designed as an opulent Roman bath, and its commitment to luxurious guest experiences helped earn it a One Key rating.

Six Senses Kyoto

In Kyoto, Six Senses provides a gateway to Japanese culture while offering tranquil, transformative experiences. With access to nearby sights and walkable historic neighborhoods, the property allows guests to enjoy the city while also experiencing a peaceful retreat within the hotel’s premises.

The Michelin Keys program marks a new standard in the hospitality industry, recognizing hotels that provide top-tier guest experiences and contribute positively to their local communities. Six Senses’ recognitions highlight the brand’s dedication to creating memorable stays rooted in luxury, sustainability, and cultural respect.
