The Cellars-Hohenort Hotel & Spa Awarded MICHELIN Key 2025

The Cellars-Hohenort Hotel & Spa in Constantia, Cape Town, recently received a MICHELIN Key in the prestigious MICHELIN Guide 2025, putting the property on the map as one of the world’s most exceptional places to stay.

Indeed, the MICHELIN Key—as the hotel equivalent of a MICHELIN Star for restaurants—highlights more than 7,000 hotels that seamlessly combine character, quality, service, and a vibrant sense of place.

Notably, this year marks the first time the guide features South African hotels in its hotel category, ultimately celebrating establishments that provide an outstanding guest experience.

Only 27 hotels across South Africa earned this distinction, so The Cellars-Hohenort Hotel & Spa joins an elite group recognised for excellence in hospitality.
