In the hospitality world, there may be no greater accomplishment than a Tablet Plus hotel with a Michelin-starred restaurant.<\/em><\/h4>\n

When Tablet merged with Michelin in late 2018, one of the things that we found ourselves sometimes having to explain to people, particularly here in the States, is that Michelin tires and Michelin Guides are made by the same company. Not all Americans are familiar with the extraordinary backstory of Michelin \u2014 how in 1900 a French tire company decided to publish a guide for drivers who didn\u2019t know where to find the next gas station, restaurant, or overnight accommodation. Michelin was the world\u2019s first travel curator, and as the automobile exploded, so did the Michelin Guide.<\/p>\n

It goes without saying that for a website that recommends hotels, being aligned with the company that essentially invented the genre was a dream come true. Not just because of the global reach of the Michelin brand, but because Michelin shares our dedication to integrity and our unbiased approach to curation. It\u2019s a perfect union, and that\u2019s without even mentioning that many Tablet hotels are home to Michelin-rated restaurants.<\/p>\n

In basketball, a heat check is when a player takes an extra-difficult shot in order to show off how ‘on fire’ they are. The hospitality equivalent is when a hotel achieves Tablet Plus status and<\/em> its restaurant is awarded a Michelin star. It’s the ultimate combination, and there are few greater accomplishments. Here are nine hotels that breathe that rarified air.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

Le Petit Nice Pass\u00e9dat<\/h2>\n

Marseille, France<\/h5>\n

Le Petit Nice Pass\u00e9dat<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

France\u2019s second city rarely tops anyone\u2019s list of travel destinations, perhaps unsurprising given the competition along the neighboring stretches of Mediterranean coast. There\u2019s plenty worth seeing, though, including Le Petit Nice Pass\u00e9dat, Marseille\u2019s most exclusive hotel, converted from two Greek-style villas in 1917 and managed by the Pass\u00e9dat family ever since.<\/p>\n

Not just hoteliers, this family is something of a culinary dynasty as well. G\u00e9rald Passedat and son preside over the kitchen, serving a cuisine that\u2019s sensibly heavy on Mediterranean seafood, whether simple fresh fish or delicacies like sea anemone \u2014 and for their trouble they\u2019ve been awarded no fewer than three Michelin stars. Patrons dine in a glass-walled dining room or, in summer, outside in the garden, overlooking the rocky shoreline and the Mediterranean beyond.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][vc_btn title=”View the hotel” shape=”round” color=”black” size=”lg” align=”center” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tablethotels.com%2Fen%2Fmarseille-hotels%2Fle-petit-nice-passedat”][vc_column_text]

Berlin, Germany<\/h5>\n
\"So\/<\/a>
Cinco<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Das Stue, in Berlin\u2019s Tiergarten district, does not lack grandeur. This Thirties embassy building was built, at least in part, to convey a grand impression \u2014 and its atmosphere, after a massive architectural overhaul by Annette Axthelm and an interior renovation by the renowned Spanish designer Patricia Urquiola, is about as far as you can get from the boxes-and-boxes sameness of the typical contemporary hotel.<\/p>\n

Also Spanish (or Catalan, to be precise) is the chef, Paco P\u00e9rez \u2014 and it\u2019s a measure of how far we\u2019ve come that the nationality of a hotel\u2019s chef is a topic of interest. In today\u2019s boutique hotels, however, the chef might have nearly as much influence over the guest\u2019s experience as the designer does, and here that influence is certainly a positive one. P\u00e9rez\u2019s work at Cinco, the hotel\u2019s fine dining restaurant, has earned two Michelin stars along with heaps of acclaim.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][vc_btn title=”View the hotel” shape=”round” color=”black” size=”lg” align=”center” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tablethotels.com%2Fen%2Fberlin-hotels%2Fso-berlin-das-stue”][vc_column_text]

Villa Crespi<\/h2>\n

\"Villa<\/a>

You could be forgiven for thinking there\u2019s nothing really all that out of the ordinary about Villa Crespi, but only if you had a good reason for thinking it was in Istanbul. As it stands, Villa Crespi is in the north of Italy, less than an hour from Milan, on the shores of Lake Orta \u2014 which makes this hyper-opulent Moorish-style palace (minaret and all) one of Italy\u2019s strangest and most extraordinary small hotels.<\/p>\n

Villa Crespi benefits immensely from a gorgeous natural setting and a suitably countrified slow pace of life, and the villa\u2019s eight suites and six rooms are no less a feast for the eyes. They\u2019re all individually decorated, though all in a similar period style, and aside from the modern necessities, they\u2019re soaked in 19th-century atmosphere. Add a gourmet restaurant with a pair of Michelin stars and a wine list with 1,800 entries, as well as a relaxation area with a sauna, massages, and a variety of spa treatments, and you\u2019ll quickly see why Villa Crespi\u2019s fans are so devoted.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][vc_btn title=”View the hotel” shape=”round” color=”black” size=”lg” align=”center” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tablethotels.com%2Fen%2Fprovince-of-novara-hotels%2Fvilla-crespi”][vc_column_text]

Schloss Elmau Luxury Spa & Cultural Hideaway<\/h2>\n

\"Schloss<\/a>
Luce d\u2019Oro<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

They\u2019ve got Alps in Bavaria too, you know. Come winter, Schloss Elmau finds itself immersed in the kind of snowy wonderland that the Swiss might like to believe they\u2019ve got exclusive rights to. But from the name of the place you can tell it\u2019s a slightly different sort of ski hotel \u2014 it\u2019s not every alpine resort that can credibly claim to be a \u201ccultural hideaway.\u201d<\/p>\n

And not every Alpine resort can claim a two Michelin-starred restaurant like Luce d\u2019Oro. Chef Christoph Rainer bases his culinary style on French cuisine, but uniquely mixes in Japanese traditions and techniques. And then there\u2019s the culture part of the hotel’s name. This is not some token art gallery, but a gorgeous old ballroom, two libraries, and a stunning modern concert hall. On any given day Schloss Elmau might host an author\u2019s reading or a classical or jazz concert, and children are actively encouraged to attend.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][vc_btn title=”View the hotel” shape=”round” color=”black” size=”lg” align=”center” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tablethotels.com%2Fen%2Felmau-hotels%2Fschloss-elmau-luxury-spa-cultural-hideaway”][vc_column_text]

Blue Duck Tavern<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

By now Park Hyatt\u2019s modus operandi should be familiar: traditional hospitality and modern amenities, served under a veneer of chic yet subdued contemporary design. It\u2019s pitched perfectly for Washington\u2019s more style-conscious guests, its interiors soothingly, stylishly Zen, and its service very much up to a diplomat\u2019s standard.<\/p>\n

The Michelin-starred Blue Duck Tavern is among the city\u2019s top restaurants, and weather permitting you\u2019ll dine al fresco on the terrace. The Park Hyatt\u2019s West End location makes it convenient for both leisure and business, while a fair bit of unofficial business is transacted nightly in the lounge. In short, it\u2019s a high-end luxury hotel without a hint of stuffiness, which, in this town, is something that can\u2019t be taken for granted.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][vc_btn title=”View the hotel” shape=”round” color=”black” size=”lg” align=”center” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tablethotels.com%2Fen%2Fwashington-dc-hotels%2Fpark-hyatt-washington”][vc_column_text]

Torno, Italy<\/h5>\n
\"Il<\/a>
Berton Al Lago<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There\u2019s plenty of neoclassical bling on the shores of Lake Como. And historic villas, too, though these days, the centuries-old architecture is outnumbered by extravagant imitations. Thankfully the team behind the brand-new Il Sereno, located just outside the village of Torno on the lake\u2019s eastern shore, is taking things in a bold new direction: it is a modernist marvel both inside and out.<\/p>\n

The communities around Lake Como and along the road to Milan are the longtime headquarters of several artisan traditions, including silk and woodworking. Il Sereno has wisely taken advantage of this fact: with only a few exceptions, its interiors are full of art and design crafted in this region of Italy. Take the floating staircase in the lobby, for instance, that leads down to the restaurant \u2014 a Michelin-starred tour-de-force of regional Italian produce through a contemporary lens \u2014 and wine cellar. Intricate and ethereal, it’s something of an architectural feat, made with walnut wood and copper pipes.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][vc_btn title=”View the hotel” shape=”round” color=”black” size=”lg” align=”center” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tablethotels.com%2Fen%2Flake-como-hotels%2Fil-sereno”][vc_column_text]

\"The<\/a>
The NoMad Hotel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

That stray capital M is a nod to the neighborhood; the district North of Madison Park, which experienced a real estate renewal at least partly aided by the arrival of the NoMad Hotel. There\u2019s a pronounced European accent to what\u2019s got to be the most Haussmannian building on Broadway \u2014 and of course the architectural ministrations of the Parisian designer Jacques Garcia only intensify the effect.<\/p>\n

What pushes the NoMad from stylish pied-\u00e0-terre to grand-boutique status, however, is the restaurant \u2014 not a single space, but a single menu spanning a variety of rooms, including a cavernous atrium, a private fireplace alcove, and even a handsome two-story library, a little heaven on earth for the epicurean bibliophile. Just don\u2019t expect to have the place all to yourself: your hosts for the evening are Daniel Humm and Will Guidara, famous for the nearby Eleven Madison Park \u2014 they\u2019ve got a built-in following and a reputation (and a Michelin star) to maintain, so you might as well pull up a chair and sample the buzz for yourself.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][vc_btn title=”View the hotel” shape=”round” color=”black” size=”lg” align=”center” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tablethotels.com%2Fen%2Fnyc-hotels%2Fthe-nomad-hotel”][vc_column_text]

Le Coucou<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

SoHo, formerly home to the artists\u2019 lofts that were New York\u2019s 20th-century Downtown signature, has, since around the turn of the millennium, gone steadily upscale \u2014 and steadily more international. Both trends find expression in 11 Howard, where contemporary Scandinavian design meets a more inclusive, less ostentatious version of luxury hospitality. It\u2019s the first independent hotel project for architect Anda Andrei, after decades as the designer behind Ian Schrager\u2019s path-breaking boutique-hotel projects.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the location, at Howard and Lafayette, is perfectly placed for shopping, and most of the downtown nightlife haunts are easily enough accessible. The Blond, the cocktail lounge, goes out of its way to prove that you can be glamorous without being militantly elitist, and Le Coucou, the hotel\u2019s French restaurant, was recently awarded its first Michelin star.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][vc_btn title=”View the hotel” shape=”round” color=”black” size=”lg” align=”center” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tablethotels.com%2Fen%2Fnyc-hotels%2F11-howard”][vc_column_text]

The Chedi Andermatt<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The development of The Chedi essentially doubled the size of the alpine village of Andermatt \u2014 the soaring buildings dwarf the traditional chalets scattered around them. But that said, this is a resort that\u2019s been carefully planned, employing a local staff, built using sustainable materials. Twin fireplaces lend the grand lobby a cozy atmosphere, despite the dimensions and the sleek Asian-inspired decor.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere within the resort, The Restaurant features a towering cheese cellar and a menu of Swiss and international cuisine, while the sultrier nighttime venue The Japanese Restaurant specializes in sushi and sashimi and was rewarded in those efforts with a Michelin star. The low-lit Wine and Cigar Library has a walk-in humidor and channels the old-world charm of Andermatt. To truly appreciate that charm, though, you\u2019ll have to hit the slopes and take in views of the village from the summit \u2014 this is some of the most exciting skiing around.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][vc_btn title=”View the hotel” shape=”round” color=”black” size=”lg” align=”center” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tablethotels.com%2Fen%2Fandermatt-hotels%2Fthe-chedi-andermatt”][vc_column_text]
