Relais Bourgondisch Cruyce, Bruges<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Michelin was the world\u2019s first hotel curator. Now, more than 100 years later, Tablet is taking over and writing a new chapter in the tire company’s long history of hospitality expertise.<\/em><\/h4>\n

Here’s an interesting fact: some of you don\u2019t know that Michelin tires<\/em> and Michelin guides<\/em> are owned by the same company, and the rest of you are surprised to learn there are people who somehow didn\u2019t know that.<\/p>\n

The befuddlement is understandable. The Michelin Guide has been around for 120 years in Europe, but it touched down in the U.S. just fifteen years ago with the introduction of the NYC iteration. Before that, many Americans knew the French-owned Michelin only from the tire side of the business \u2014 from commercials featuring adorable babies and a puffy white mascot: the Michelin Man.<\/p>\n

Did you know the Michelin Man has a name? It\u2019s Bibendum. Trot that one out at your first post-COVID cocktail party.<\/p>\n

But how do tires and restaurant guides go together? Good question. Those who think this is old news can skip to the next paragraph. Those who are having their minds blown will appreciate knowing that the Michelin Guide debuted in France in 1900 and was filled with handy information for motorists, from maps and instructions on how to change a flat to the locations of gas stations and, yes, where to grab a hot meal. The guide was a crucial resource for the first automobile drivers and a genius bit of marketing for Michelin.<\/p>\n

Ready for another shocker? The Michelin Guide has been recommending places to sleep for just as long as it\u2019s been recommending places to eat. Again, knowledge of this fact is likely dependent upon which continent you’re standing on, but even for those who are all too familiar, it’s news once again, because the Michelin Man is back in the hotel game in a big way.<\/p>\n

TABLET IS THE OFFICIAL HOTEL SELECTION OF THE MICHELIN GUIDE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Michelin was the original curator of hotels, but over the years their legendary star ratings for fine dining took the lion’s share of the spotlight. Meanwhile, Tablet has been pioneering hotels and travel in the twenty-first century. Michelin acquired us for that reason in 2018, and we began the painstaking process of replacing their hotel list with our own. Tablet experts evaluated the thousands of hotels featured in the Michelin Guides, adding hundreds of the most exceptional accommodations to our already comprehensive selection and creating a single, authoritative list.<\/p>\n

And that’s how Tablet became the Michelin Guide for hotels. Literally. Officially.<\/p>\n

Crucially, as we’ve been for twenty years, we’re still our own unique thing. You can still book the hotels in our selection at TabletHotels.com<\/a> or on the Tablet Hotels iOS app<\/a>. The app just now happens to also contain every Michelin-rated restaurant (it’s basically a one-stop shop for all of your hospitality needs).<\/p>\n

It doesn’t end there for Tablet creating milestones that someone really ought to add to the Michelin Guide Wikipedia page. While we were vetting all of those hotels, our engineering team also built the first-ever global Michelin Guide app. Just like the Tablet app it, too, features every Michelin restaurant and every Tablet hotel.<\/p>\n

TABLET HOTELS FEATURED IN EARLY MICHELIN GUIDES<\/strong><\/p>\n

To celebrate all this synergy, we thought it’d be fun to take a look at current Tablet hotels that were present in some of the earliest Michelin Guides.<\/p>\n

We tend to focus a lot on the shiny and new \u2014 that’s only natural. But it’s good to give attention to long-established hotels that have proven their excellence time and time again. Hotels that have spanned the decades standing at the forefront of service, design, and demand. Hotels that have seen it all and might be uniquely prepared to provide a safe and splendid stay for those planning their post-pandemic travel. Hotels like these…<\/p>\n

H\u00f4tel Le Negresco<\/h2>\n

Nice, France<\/h5>\n

\"H\u00f4tel<\/a><\/p>\n

Let no one say that H\u00f4tel Le Negresco, a grand, pink-domed palace on the French Riviera\u2019s Bay of Angels, lacks character. In a town with more than its share of storied old hotels, Le Negresco\u2019s history might take the prize. It was founded by the son of a Roma violinist, immediately attracted a long roster of dukes and counts and queens, posted a fortune-making profit of 800,000 gold francs in its first year of operation, was shortly thereafter converted into a WWI hospital at the founder\u2019s expense, sent the founder into financial ruin within five years of its opening, fell into near-oblivion, and now stands, again, as one of the finest hotels in Nice.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not much of an exaggeration to say that the H\u00f4tel de Crillon is<\/em> Paris \u2014 from its privileged position on the Place de la Concorde, the backdrop to so many of this city\u2019s defining events, to its century-long tenure as the ultimate Parisian luxury hotel, it\u2019s never been one to fly under the radar. And now, fresh off a massive renovation, it\u2019s ready for the spotlight once more, under new management; it\u2019s now officially the H\u00f4tel de Crillon, A Rosewood Hotel.<\/p>\n

\"Relais<\/a><\/p>\n

If what you\u2019re after is a picturesque medieval town, criss-crossed with canals, you should know that Bruges out-Amsterdams Amsterdam by some distance. And only in Bruges could you find a hotel like the Relais Bourgondisch Cruyce. It occupies a pair of gorgeous, delicate old timbered houses, and presents the very real risk that you\u2019ll spend more time out front, photographing it from the canal side, than you will in your room itself.<\/p>\n

Les Baux de Provence is perhaps one of the most spectacular and unsettling of nature\u2019s creations. These whitewashed cliffs, dotted with medieval houses, will stun you with their proportion and their sublime beauty. And should it all prove to be a bit overwhelming, it\u2019s always nice to know that you can retreat to the Baumani\u00e8re, perennial retreat of royals, statesmen and other leading lights since the day it opened for business in 1945.<\/p>\n

Claridge\u2019s is by any lights one of the best hotels in London, and it\u2019s almost certainly the poshest. Even today, this Mayfair landmark \u2014 where the crowned heads of Europe came to wait out the Second World War \u2014 remains splendidly and timelessly Art Deco. Stroll past the black awning into an entry foyer with Lalique vases, gilded columns, a sweeping staircase ornamented with brass banister that is polished daily. The elevators are manually operated \u2014 not by the guests, either \u2014 and each contains a sofa for lounging.<\/p>\n

But the point\u2019s well taken: there\u2019s a certain indisputable glamour and elegance to this grand dame of a landmark hotel on Place Vend\u00f4me. And while the Ritz wasn\u2019t exactly fading around the edges when it closed for renovations in 2012 \u2014 it was a solidly five-star hotel, but had failed to earn the exclusive Parisian \u201cpalace\u201d distinction \u2014 there were updates worth making.<\/p>\n

Hotel Alfonso XIII is a relic of a bygone age \u2014 built in 1928 to anticipate the Ibero-American Expo the following year, the hotel was named for the then-current king, and constructed in a an opulent blend of Baroque and Moorish styles that looks centuries older. Of course in the Thirties, everything changed \u2014 just ask Hemingway, WH Auden, or George Orwell \u2014 but at the Alfonso, it will always be 1929. Intricate tilework, antique furniture, and what must be tons of marble and mahogany set the tone for one of the grandest old hotels still in existence.<\/p>\n

\"La<\/a><\/p>\n

La R\u00e9serve started as (and yet remains) a fine seafood restaurant on the coast between Monaco and Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. During the postwar boom they added a handful of guest rooms \u2014 to accommodate diners weary of driving up and down the shore at night \u2014 and, in so doing, began their transformation into what is today one of the top hotels on the C\u00f4te d\u2019Azur. This is precisely the aristocratic atmosphere that made the Riviera famous, and La R\u00e9serve feels like nothing so much as an old-fashioned aristocratic residence, the sort of place where the guest\u2019s every desire is seen to by a small army of professional servants.<\/p>\n

Milan may be the most fashion-forward city in Italy, the couture capital, and the center of industrial progress as well \u2014 but this is still Italy, after all, and there\u2019s always room for a little bit of ancient history. Nothing industrial or futuristic about it: the Grand Hotel et de Milan is every bit as traditionally elegant as the newly reopened La Scala theater, which is just a few steps away \u2014 and this location surely played a crucial role in the hotel\u2019s history, with such famous guests as Nureyev, Callas, Caruso and, most notoriously, Giuseppe Verdi, who spent years here.<\/p>\n

The Renaissance-style facade of this century-old grand hotel is a reliable indicator of what\u2019s to follow inside. It\u2019s hard to get more central than the De L\u2019Europe Amsterdam, on the banks of the Amstel, and it\u2019s no wonder that the visitors who haunt its upscale restaurant and bottle-green boardroom are among the world\u2019s movers and shakers. Not to mention cultural enthusiasts. 23 of the 111 guest rooms are cordoned off within a sort of museum atrium. These are the Dutch Masters suites, luxury artists\u2019 lofts complete with replicas of paintings from the nearby Rijksmuseum. The rest of the rooms are scarcely less opulent, though.<\/p>\n

An Art Deco mansion by the sea where champagne flows freely and a green light blinks at the tip of a wooden jetty \u2014 you\u2019ll only need one guess at the famous person who once lived here. In 1925, Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald decamped to a waterfront villa on the C\u00f4te d\u2019Azur, and between up-all-night parties and swims in the ocean, he wrote his final novel, Tender is the Night. The villa was expanded and turned into a luxury hotel in 1929. Nearly a century later, H\u00f4tel Belles Rives is a French Riviera classic that\u2019s still run by the same family.<\/p>\n

Maybe you\u2019re not up to date on your Portuguese history. (Then again, maybe you are.) Anyway the striking Belle \u00c9poque facade tells you a thing or two: despite the Vidago Palace\u2019s relatively remote location near the country\u2019s northern border, the hotel has a grand past based on its strategic position. Built in 1910, it\u2019s near the Chaves hot springs, famous since Roman times for their healing properties \u2014 and a longtime favorite of Portuguese kings. More than a century later, the hotel is just as glamorous as the day it opened. But the opulent interiors have been smartly adapted to suit modern tastes.<\/p>\n
