I'd love to see a few of us rewrite the list and I think we would have consistency on what should warrant a Michelin key. I was shocked to see Beverly Hills Hotel given 3 keys when the rooms are shabby and the service isn't up to par. I prefer Peninsula to BHH and I prefer FS Westlake Village to almost anything else in LA. Fouquet's in NYC getting 2 keys was also surprising. I would rate Fouquets 1 key (if even, after a recent stay) and I would give Baccarat another key. I think the Parisian list is good. In the US, they were too generous with 2 keys and overlooked some really great hotels. The list makes me want to try The Whitby although the rooms look very small and not very impressive. The DC list is not correct at all. I think Aman NY deserves its rating on the hard product. Best room in NYC even though service is inconsistent based on other people's experiences.
