Hotel Equities Celebrates Michelin Key Recognitions in Lifestyle, Luxury Portfolios

Chamberlain West Hollywood and Casas del XVI retain One MICHELIN Key Distinctions for 2026

ATLANTA, GA - Hotel Equities (HE), a leading hospitality management and development company, is celebrating two hotels within its managed portfolio recognized in the 2026 MICHELIN Guide hotel selection. Chamberlain West Hollywood in West Hollywood, California, and Casas del XVI in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, have each retained their One MICHELIN Key distinctions.

The MICHELIN Key recognizes outstanding hotels for the quality of their hospitality experience, evaluating properties across five criteria that include architecture and interior design, quality and consistency of service, personality and character, value for the experience and contribution to the local setting.

Chamberlain West Hollywood earned its One MICHELIN Key for the second consecutive year. Located on a quiet residential street just steps from the Sunset Strip, the 115-room boutique hotel offers spacious accommodations, contemporary design and a rooftop pool with panoramic views of Los Angeles and the Hollywood Hills.

Casas del XVI also retained its One MICHELIN Key for 2026 after first earning the distinction in 2025, the inaugural year of the MICHELIN Key selection in the Dominican Republic. Located in Santo Domingo's historic Ciudad Colonial, the luxury hotel is a collection of restored colonial homes that blend centuries-old architecture and Dominican heritage with highly personalized hospitality.

"Having hotels within our portfolio recognized by the MICHELIN Guide speaks to the exceptional experiences our teams are creating across very different destinations," said Al Smith, Hotel Equities Chief Operating Officer. "As we continue expanding in the luxury and lifestyle segments, these distinctions support the importance of preserving what makes each property unique while delivering the high level of service and operational excellence our guests and ownership partners expect."

The MICHELIN Key serves as the MICHELIN Guide's distinction for outstanding hotels, complementing its longstanding MICHELIN Star recognition for restaurants. The Guide's hotel selection has since expanded globally, recognizing distinctive hospitality experiences across destinations around the world.
