This year, 12 hotels in Hungary have been included in the Michelin Key selection, considered the most prestigious accolade in the hotel industry and the “Michelin star” of hospitality, the Michelin Guide announced to MTI on Friday.
The Four Seasons Hotel Gresham Palace Budapest and the Matild Palace, a Luxury Collection Hotel, received a two-key rating. Ten other hotels were listed with one Michelin Key, all of which were already on last year’s list.
The 2026 Hungarian selection thus includes 10 hotels in Budapest and 2 in the countryside—the Hotel Petit Bois in Balatonfüred and the Platán Manor in Tata.
The Michelin Guide’s global hotel selection now encompasses more than 9,400 hotels, including 2,832 hotels with Michelin Key ratings. Since the announcement of the ratings in October 2025, the global selection has expanded by more than 2,200 hotels, with 470 hotels joining this year.
The world’s leading restaurant guide has awarded Hungarian hotels the Michelin Key designation for the second time this year. The system is considered the Michelin star for hotels and recognizes excellence in hospitality, design, service, and an authentic connection to the local setting.
