It's notable how many of Michelin's favorite hotels are independently owned and run. Hard to find any properties run by the largest hotel groups on its lists.

Michelin announced a second wave of top picks for U.S. hotels Thursday. It also revealed its first picks for a small group of luxury and boutique hotels in Canada and Mexico.

Earlier this year, the French tire maker and publisher of dining guides launched its new hotel rating system with "keys" mirroring its famous restaurant stars. Since April, Michelin has given its "key" awards to top luxury hotels in Paris, 124 hotels across seven U.S. cities, hotels in Italy, and elsewhere.

Three Keys: Michelin adds “extraordinary” hotels in the U.S.

Five more hotels joined Michelin's Three Key ranking, it's top distinction. Michelin's list now includes 16 Three Key hotels.
