Tablet Hotels

Tablet Hotels is a hotel booking platform that's been curating design-forward boutique properties since 2000. Unlike aggregators that list everything, Tablet takes an editorial approach—every property is hand-picked based on design quality, character, and independent spirit. Its annual Top 40 New Hotels list highlights the year's most noteworthy openings across all price points and geographies. Since Michelin acquired the platform in 2018, it's operated under the same selective philosophy that guides the restaurant guides, making its recommendations a shortcut for travelers looking beyond chain hotels and cookie-cutter luxury.
