OUTSTANDING

The MICHELIN Guide ‘Hotel Selection 2026’ has awarded its renowned keys to the Château de Montcaud (Provence) and the Grand Hotel Residencia (Gran Canaria)

Grand Hotel Residencia

The Grand Hotel Residencia is the first Leading Hotel of the World on Gran Canaria. A total of 94 rooms and suites are spread across small, two-storey villas, all designed in a style that, years ago, might have been described as ‘colonial’. The French star designer and architect Alberto Pinto left no detail unconsidered in his interior design and gave the Seaside Collection hotel, which opened in 2000, an unmistakable character with hand-painted tiles, the finest fabrics and dark wood. It has often been recognised for its cuisine and design. Now it has one more accolade to its name: Michelin has awarded the hotel a Michelin Key in its ‘Hotel Selection 2026’ guide – and this stands for a unique character and service. Wolfgang Grobauer is in charge of the hotel’s kitchen. He sources produce locally from the island’s farmers and serves it up as unforgettable creations at just the right moment; and from time to time he reinterprets classic Spanish dishes in a modern style. Anyone who checks into this hotel, with its unforgettably beautiful cactus garden and large saltwater pool, is transported into another world in the truest sense of the word. General Manager: Robert Heitzig

Château de Montcaud

This château is living proof of Oscar Wilde’s saying that true beauty is a source of lasting delight
and a treasure for eternity. The Château de Montcaud was built by a French
silk manufacturer in the mid-19th century; a Swiss family has restored it with respect for its
history, transforming it into what it is today: a real gem. Understated elegance rather than ostentation.
A classical stone cube, surrounded by an enchanted forest featuring 140 different trees from
all over the world. Every dish created by head chef Matthieu Hervé is both a delight and a surprise
at the same time. A native of Normandy, he works with the precision of a watchmaker, and it is no coincidence that
the Michelin Guide has awarded the restaurant ‘Le Cèdre de Montcaud’ one star – and has now
gone one better: The hotel, with its 29 rooms and suites, was awarded no fewer than two Michelin keys
in the ‘Hotel Selection 2026’ guide for offering unforgettable experiences and being ‘run
with charm and great care’. Have we forgotten anything? Oh yes: alongside the enchanting park, we simply
must mention the pool, which, set against the backdrop of the southern French countryside,
would also have been the perfect setting for Romy Schneider and Alain Delon in the magnificent classic film ‘La
Piscine’. General Manager: Andrea und Rolf Bertschi
