Germany has 130 hotels in the Michelin Guide's Key selection — 6 Three Keys, 37 Two Keys and 87 One Key — across 83 places, led by Berlin with 12. 15 can be booked with points: 8 through Marriott Bonvoy, 2 through Mr & Mrs Smith, 2 through Small Luxury Hotels of the World, 1 through World of Hyatt, 1 through Hilton Honors and 1 through ALL – Accor Live Limitless. The rest are cash-only independents, listed so the map is complete.
Median points per night and cents-per-point value from AwardClaw's award tracking. Value is the cash rate divided by the points price, so higher is better; green means the redemption beats the program's usual value by a wide margin.
