Michelin Keys: which hotels in Slovenia do they open the doors to?

But beyond gastronomic excellence, Michelin also discovers and awards accommodations that stand out for their design, architecture, quality of service and distinctive character. Michelin Keys are therefore the accommodation equivalent of Michelin Stars.
