LONDON, 21 September 2026 – IHG Hotels & Resorts is celebrating recognition across its Luxury & Lifestyle portfolio in the 2026 MICHELIN Key selection, with properties spanning five of its luxury brands earning keys from MICHELIN.

The awards span Six Senses, InterContinental, Regent, Kimpton and Vignette Collection, recognising a diverse collection of properties across some of the world's most sought-after destinations.

Among this year's standout achievements, Six Senses London has earned its first MICHELIN Key following its opening earlier this year, marking an important milestone for the brand's first UK property and newest urban hotel. Elsewhere across the portfolio, Six Senses Zighy Bay was elevated to a Two MICHELIN Key distinction, while new recognitions across InterContinental and Kimpton, alongside recognition for four Regent properties and two Vignette Collection properties, highlighted the breadth and strength of IHG's Luxury & Lifestyle portfolio.

The recognition further emphasizes the momentum of IHG's Luxury & Lifestyle business, which today encompasses more than 600 hotels worldwide across six distinctive brands. From wellness retreats and resort destinations to urban landmarks and cultural hubs, the portfolio continues to deliver meaningful and memorable guest experiences for guests around the world.

Tom Rowntree, Vice President, Luxury & Lifestyle Brands, IHG Hotels & Resorts, said:
"We are honoured to see so many of our properties recognised in the 2026 MICHELIN Key selection. These distinctions reflect the care and commitment of our teams around the world, who create exceptional experiences for guests every day.
