How To Find A Michelin Listed Hotel How To Find A Michelin Listed Hotel
The Red Michelin Guide is one of the most trusted and the oldest of all travel guides in the world.
The best way to use a Michelin Red Guide to choose your hotel, is to buy the actual book. As of 2012, Michelin still did not come up with an ebook format; so you will have to spend ca $20 on an actual old-fashoned paper book.
However, if you consider at least 2 or 3 hotel stays in the area covered by that guide book, it is certainly worth the investment!
2. Main article
The Red Guide is published yearly in spring. The previous year's edition can usually be found at discounted prices, and is (most of the time) accurate enough.
The books have hardly any text at all; they use international symbols to mark hotels as particularly quiet, suitable for conferences, with an undercover garage, air conditioning and other facilities and services.
Hotels that are particularly nice are highlighted.
There are maps allowing you to quickly look for a hotel offering quiet rooms, fine cuisine, etc.
If buying a paper guide is out-of-the question, or if you want to quickly find one single hotel, here is an alternative way, online only to keep those internet-addicts happy!
