2 Tampa hotels earn first-ever Michelin Keys

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — Two Tampa hotels were among the first to receive Michelin Keys.

Like Michelin Stars, Michelin Keys are awarded to the most outstanding hotels in the country. Hotels in Atlanta, California, Chicago, Colorado, Florida, New York, and Washington DC were eligible for the distinction.

Tampa restaurants receive Michelin Star awards

Two hotels in Tampa were among 80 One Key hotels: Palihouse Hyde Park Village and The Tampa EDITION.

Palihouse Hyde Park Village

1509 West Swann Avenue

The Michelin Guide said the Palihouse Hyde Park Village “looks perfectly at home on the Gulf Coast of Florida.”

“In its public spaces it mixes vintage patterns and antique furnishings, creating an atmosphere that’s inviting and accessible. Meanwhile the rooms are colorful, handsome, equally warm, and somewhat residential in their concept — some of them feature kitchenettes and sofa beds, while all of them come with Nespresso machines, SMEG mini-fridges, and Diptyque bath products,” the guide said.

The Michelin Guide also highlighted the hotel’s in-house food and beverage offerings, featuring breakfast, coffee, cocktails, and an all-day menu.

500 Channelside Drive

Tampa’s first five-star hotel, the Tampa EDITION, opened in 2022 and has been making waves ever since. Last year, it was named one of the best hotels in the world by Fodors.

The hotel is also home to MICHELIN-starred Lilac.

“In the Tampa EDITION, New York architects Morris Adjmi and designers Roman & Williams bring the brand’s signature luxe loft style to a 26-story tower in the city’s flourishing Water Street district, combining a powerful visual impact with plentiful creature comforts, including some seven dining and drinking venues,” the guide said.
