After announcing that it would award stars and other recognitions to the best restaurants in Quebec, the Michelin Guide has handed out its first keys to Canadian hotels. Eight Quebec establishments stand out.

Across the country, only two hotels received the top honours, three keys. They are the spectacular Fogo Island Inn (Joe Batt’s Arm, Newfoundland and Labrador) and Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge (Tofino, British Columbia).
Eight high-end accommodations in Canada were awarded two keys, including two in Quebec: Manoir Hovey (North Hatley) and Auberge Saint-Antoine (Quebec).
Finally, among the 23 establishments that obtained a key are the Hôtel Quintessence (Mont-Tremblant), the Hôtel Le Germain Montréal (Montreal), Le Mount Stephen (Montreal), Le Petit Hôtel (Montreal), the Hôtel Place d’Armes (Montreal) and the Hôtel et Spa Le Germain Charlevoix (Baie-Saint-Paul).
The keys are new distinctions in the Michelin universe. They mark four years of a complete overhaul of its hotel selection. In total, the guide now lists more than 5,000 establishments around the world. Each was evaluated in five categories: “architecture and interior design, quality and consistency of service, personality and overall character of the hotel, value for money, as well as significant contribution to the guest experience in a particular setting,” reads the Michelin website.
As for the stars distributed to restaurants, they will arrive in Quebec in spring 2025.
