Rosewood Le Guanahani St. Barth has received a coveted Two MICHELIN Key designation in the MICHELIN Guide’s 2025 global hotel selection. This recognition celebrates the hotel as one of the world’s most outstanding properties, marking a significant milestone for both the hotel and the Rosewood brand.
Unveiled on October 8, 2025, at an exclusive ceremony in Paris, France, the MICHELIN Key distinction is the hotel equivalent of the MICHELIN Star for restaurants. Since its introduction in 2024, the MICHELIN Key has quickly become one of the most respected distinctions in global hospitality. A Two Key designation is described as an exceptional stay that is unique in every way, with a guaranteed memorable experience. These hotels are distinguished by their character and charm, run with evident pride, and offer a combination of eye-catching design, quality service, and a strong connection to their local area.
Rosewood Le Guanahani St. Barth continues to set the benchmark for barefoot luxury in the Caribbean—now further affirmed by its Two Key MICHELIN recognition. Spanning a secluded 18-acre peninsula between Marigot Bay and Grand Cul-de-Sac, the resort feels like its own private sanctuary, with lush tropical gardens, two pristine beaches, and colorful cottages that embody effortless island sophistication. Guests can unwind at Sense®, A Rosewood Spa, or the serene adults-only pool, while active pursuits range from paddleboarding and snorkeling to exploring nearby nature trails. Beach House St. Barth offers elevated Mediterranean cuisine infused with local flavors, complemented by ocean views, and Bar Mélangé brings a cosmopolitan energy with inventive cocktails and live music. It’s this seamless blend of authenticity, privacy, and refined French-Caribbean artistry that continues to make Le Guanahani one-of-a-kind.
To earn a spot within the MICHELIN guide hotels must fulfill five universal criteria: excellence in architecture and interior design, quality and consistency of service, overall personality and character, value for the price, and a significant contribution to the neighborhood or setting. Out of the over 7,000 hotels recognized in the guide, the MICHELIN Key designates the most outstanding experiences across these sectors as determined by MICHELIN Inspectors. The 2025 reveal marks the first worldwide unveiling, with hotels across every region now eligible for the distinction.
