List of Michelin-keyed hotels

Should we create List of Michelin-keyed hotels?

According to Google: "As of late 2025, a total of 2,457 hotels worldwide have received one, two, or three MICHELIN Keys." (CC) Tbhotch^™ 03:19, 22 October 2025 (UTC)

Yes, but not too many have Wikipedia articles, so I think a list would be manageable. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 14:48, 28 October 2025 (UTC)

Atlanta to American South List name change

Heads up I just moved the Atlanta list to re-title it "List of Michelin-starred restaurants in the American South" ahead of the guide release tomorrow. I've also divided the lists into two sections (one for just Atlanta from 2023-24, and then a new table for 2025 to fill in once it's announced tomorrow. Dtmich24 (talk) 17:01, 2 November 2025 (UTC)

Looks good. Thanks. Expandinglight5 (talk) 17:14, 2 November 2025 (UTC)

+1, thanks! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 17:38, 2 November 2025 (UTC)

This is the first list (to my knowledge) that covers multiple US states in a single guide. The style guide suggests a location format of City - Neighborhood however this list is showing State - City which might be a bit broad. What are your thoughts on State - City -Neighborhood or perhaps a separate column for State and then a second column for City - Neighborhood? Or perhaps just continue with the style guide format of City - Neighborhood?

Expandinglight5 (talk) 01:33, 4 November 2025 (UTC)

We certainly have a patchwork of how we list geographic regions across the lists outside of 'City - Neighborhood'. - ex. in broader lists like England we go 'County - City' and for Germany for the larger regions we go 'State - City'. Maybe the Style Guide can be updated to reflect something along the lines of "The broader the article’s geographic scope, the larger the geographic unit used before the city. The narrower the scope, the more localized the descriptor (ex. neighborhood)"? Rather than keeping strictly to City - Neighbhorhood as it doesn't work in all cases. Dtmich24 (talk) 01:58, 4 November 2025 (UTC)

I tend to think it should stay at City-Neighborhood. Just because it's a larger region, doesn't mean the location should be broader as opposed to more finite. Unless you disagree, I would propose to update this to City-Neighborhood. It probably isn't necessary to list the state as the city would already reference the state.

Given that the coverage has expanded from a single city to a multi-state region for this list, i'm still of the feeling that more broad a list is, the larger a geographic area should be used (ex. state/province/etc. and then city, rather than 'city-neighborhood'). It would also be more intuitive for readers when sorting the table by 'location' as the scope of the lists are now geographically larger. Using 'city - neighborhood' certainly makes sense for geographic lists focusing on just one city or state (ex. Colorado, Quebec, London, etc.), but I'm not convinced that's the best format in cases like this one. Another solution if we wanted to list as 'city-neighborhood' would be to break it down into tables for each state, like we do for the Italy and Spain lists, but I think this may be premature with how few stars there are per state.

US Northeast Cities Draft

Per our previous conversation on how we wish to structure this newly merged list, I've started a draft here Draft:List of Michelin-starred restaurants in the American Northeast Cities . If anyone wishes to take a look and make any additions/adjustments. I'll update and move to live on the 18th once we have the confirmed restaurants list. Dtmich24 (talk) 00:29, 4 November 2025 (UTC)

I think the article should be named, "List of Michelin-starred restaurants in American Northeast Cities" instead of "List of Michelin-starred restaurants in the American Northeast Cities".

Expandinglight5 (talk) 00:49, 4 November 2025 (UTC)

I believe the region is referred to as 'the Northeast', similar to 'the American South', so wouldn't it make sense to have 'the' in there? Dtmich24 (talk) 01:17, 4 November 2025 (UTC)

"The South" is a region of the US. "The Northeast" is also a region of the US. But this is certain cities in the Northeast and not the entire region. For that reason, I believe the correct title should be "List of Michelin-starred restaurants in American Northeast Cities"

Expandinglight5 (talk) 05:07, 4 November 2025 (UTC)

Sure, that makes sense. Thinking on it a little further, Michelin's classification of the Northeast is inaccurate to begin with, since Chicago and DC aren't part of the geographic region. I'll change to just say Northeast cities and add some wording in the lead text. Dtmich24 (talk) 16:18, 6 November 2025 (UTC)

FYI, a user has renamed the page to "List of Michelin-starred restaurants in northeastern cities of the United States" Dtmich24 (talk) 15:42, 20 November 2025 (UTC)

Shouldn't the list be titled based on the name assigned by the Michelin Guide? Expandinglight5 (talk) 15:45, 20 November 2025 (UTC)

That was my thought too. Wasn't sure if it was changed for grammar or Wikipedia article title rules I'm not aware of. Dtmich24 (talk) 20:56, 20 November 2025 (UTC)

American Southwest Guide

Michelin will be launching an American Southwest Guide for 2026, re-starting rankings for Las Vegas, and newly Nevada as a whole, Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah.

How do we wish to address this as a page when the time comes - expanding/re-naming the Vegas page into an 'American Southwest' page like we did for Atlanta and the Southeast?

Dtmich24 (talk) 16:25, 8 December 2025 (UTC)

I think your suggestion makes the most sense. The Las Vegas page is relatively small (similar to Atlanta) and would easily transition to an American Southwest page. I've added content to the Las Vegas page about a return in 2026.

Japan lists

I am starting to tackle the beast that is the Japan list, which is heavily outdated and missing a bunch of information. Looking into it, it appears that there are actually several standalone Guides that are issued by Michelin in Japan (Tokyo and Region, Kyoto & Osaka, Nara, etc.), so I'm thinking its best we start slicing things out into separate pages to correspond with those lists. This would also make it easier for us to get this region's lists up to date. I started List of Michelin-starred restaurants in Nara as an example. Open to thoughts or if you think this isn't the best way to proceed. Dtmich24 (talk) 21:34, 10 December 2025 (UTC)

I believe Japan is one of the few countries that still has printed guides. Do they print for all regions? If there are separate guides and/or ceremonies, or if the region is large enough to justify its own article, it makes sense to have its own page. Whichever is most efficient for maintaining and search should be our guide on best practice. Expandinglight5 (talk) 00:08, 11 December 2025 (UTC)

Great, I'm starting to chip away at it, but there will likely be a number of gaps unless someone has access to the printed guides. The only active Japan lists as of 2025 as far as I can find are Tokyo, Kyoto & Osaka (joint), and Nara, with all three having separate ceremonies. Will prioritize those first and then can look at the other regions where guides have been suspended. Dtmich24 (talk) 01:14, 11 December 2025 (UTC)
