Recognized Among the World's Best Boutique Hotels

Awarded a MICHELIN Key for Exceptional, Intimate, and High-Quality Guest Experiences

A MICHELIN Key is awarded to a small number of hotels worldwide that demonstrate exceptional quality across design, service, and overall guest experience.

The Key recognizes places that feel singular—where attention to detail, sense of place, and hospitality come together in a way that is both refined and deeply personal.

The Francis House has been awarded a MICHELIN Key for delivering an intimate, high-quality stay that meets this global standard of excellence.
