One Key is the Michelin Guide's entry hotel distinction, defined as “a very special stay”. Inspectors rate architecture and design, service, personality, value for money and the hotel's contribution to its location. Most Key hotels sit here; it still puts a property in the top few percent of hotels Michelin inspects.
Park Hyatt Siem Reap (Siem Reap, Cambodia) at a median of about 15,000 Hyatt points a night. Sort by "Fewest points" for the rest.
