A Michelin Selected property in Switzerland's Mittelland region, Landgasthof Kreuz Kappel represents the traditional Landgasthof format at its most considered: a rural inn where architectural character and regional grounding matter as much as the table.

Michelin Selected for 2025, Lanthia Resort sits along the seafront of Santa Maria Navarrese, one of Sardinia's least-trafficked coastal villages on the Ogliastra coast. The property positions itself within a quieter register of Italian coastal hospitality: small-scale, sea-facing, and removed from the Sardinian resort circuit that dominates the island's northern shore. For travellers calibrating between spectacle and seclusion, it occupies a distinct and deliberate position.
Vientiane, Laos
A Michelin Selected hotel on Henbounnoy Street in Vientiane's Chanthabouly District, Lao Poet Hotel sits within the quieter residential grain of the capital rather than its main tourist corridor.

A MICHELIN Selected hotel occupying a restored colonial building on the edge of Casco Viejo, Las Clementinas places guests inside one of Panama City's most architecturally compelling neighbourhoods.

Dehesa de Campoamor, Spain
Las Colinas Golf & Country Club in Dehesa de Campoamor holds both the 2025 World Travel Awards for Spain's Leading Villa Resort and Europe's Leading Villa Resort — a double that positions it at the summit of villa-format accommodation on the continent.

The format sits firmly in Phuket's small-inventory, residence-style tier.
Tulum, Mexico
A Michelin Selected property on Tulum's hotel zone strip, Layla Tulum positions itself within the town's design-led, low-key luxury tier.

Neuilly Sur Seine, France
A Michelin Selected maison particulière on a quiet Neuilly-sur-Seine street, Le 5 Particulier occupies a category that sits between boutique hotel and private residence — intimate in scale, considered in its spatial approach, and positioned for travellers who find Paris's grand palace hotels too ceremonial for extended stays.

Quebec City, Canada
Le Bonne Entente sits on the quieter western edge of Quebec City, where the pace shifts from Old Town tourism to something more deliberate.

A Michelin Selected hotel on Carnac's avenue des Druides, Le Celtique sits at the quieter, more residential end of Brittany's most-visited megalithic town. The address places guests within reach of the alignments and the beach strip alike, while the Michelin selection signals a baseline of comfort that sets it apart from the town's standard seasonal stock.
Sallanches, France
A Michelin Selected property on the edge of Sallanches, Le Cerf Amoureux occupies a position typical of the Mont Blanc corridor's smaller independent hotels: away from the resort-chain circuit, with the kind of Alpine character that larger properties in the valley trade away for scale. For travellers using Sallanches as a base for Chamonix, Megève, or the Aravis range, it offers a grounded alternative to the area's high-turnover options.
Courchevel, France
The hotel combines a spa offer with direct access to one of Europe's most demanding ski areas, positioning it between the large-scale palace operators and the quieter design-led boutiques on the same mountain.

Paris, France
A former telecommunications ministry building on Rue Louis Codet, Le Cinq Codet sits in the 7th arrondissement with the quiet authority of a property that earns its reputation through editorial restraint rather than grand-hotel spectacle.

Ault, France
A Michelin Selected property on the Picardy coast, Le Cise sits above the cliffs of Ault where the chalk headlands meet the English Channel. The address rewards travellers who prefer the northern French shore over the more trafficked Normandy resorts, trading crowd density for direct sea exposure and the particular quality of light that has drawn painters to this stretch of coast for over a century.
Clervaux, Luxembourg
Le Clervaux occupies a considered position in Luxembourg's Ardennes town of the same name, earning MICHELIN Selected status for 2025. The property sits on Grand Rue at the heart of a medieval town defined by its abbey and castle, making it the natural base for exploring the northern reaches of the Grand Duchy.

Arbois, France
A Michelin Selected property on the Route de Besançon at the edge of Arbois, Le Clos Alice occupies one of the Jura's most storied wine towns, where the regional table is shaped by vin jaune, comté, and centuries of agricultural tradition.

Pommard, France
A Michelin Selected property on the village edge of Pommard, Le Clos du Colombier occupies a traditional Burgundian estate where stone architecture and vineyard proximity define the stay.

Beaune, France
A MICHELIN Selected property on the rue Sainte-Marguerite, Le Clos Sainte-Marguerite occupies a walled address within walking distance of Beaune's historic centre and the Hospices de Beaune.

Langres, France
Le Clos Vauban occupies a position within Langres that few French provincial properties can claim: a Relais & Châteaux fine-dining destination rooted in the forests and farmland of the Marne region, with rates from US$201 per night. The kitchen draws its identity from local terrain rather than Parisian trend cycles, making it a reference point for anyone tracing haute cuisine through northeastern France.
Lisbon, Portugal
Occupying a 19th-century building on one of Chiado's most storied squares, Le Consulat holds a Michelin Selected designation for 2025, placing it in a small tier of Lisbon hotels where architectural character and location carry as much weight as room quality.

Paris, France
Le Damantin, carrying a 2025 Michelin Selected distinction, occupies a considered position among Paris's smaller luxury hotels at 1 rue Bayard in the 8th arrondissement. Set apart from the grand-palace tier that dominates the neighbourhood, it belongs to a cohort that trades scale for atmosphere. For travellers who find the historic palaces of the Golden Triangle a performance rather than a stay, Le Damantin offers an alternative register.
Tignes, France
Awarded Gault & Millau Exceptional Hotel (2025) with a 5-point rating, Le Diamond Rock sits on Tignes' Route du Rosset and holds a 4.. The property occupies a specialist tier among French alpine hotels where gastronomy and mountain positioning are the distinguishing factors. For Tignes, where the dining programme is increasingly a reason to book a hotel rather than a consequence of staying in one, this is a reference address.
Ablon, France
A Normandy estate on the Seine estuary awarded Gault & Millau's Exceptional Hotel distinction in 2025, Le Domaine d'Ablon sits in a tier of small French country properties where design restraint and rural setting carry more weight than urban prestige.
