Bowie House has been open for less than a year, but the upscale west Fort Worth hotel has already earned one of the most coveted designations in the service industry β a spot in the Michelin Guide.
Bowie House earned a two key designation β out of three. Hotel Drover, the Western-chic boutique hotel that opened in March , earned one key. The internationally renowned guide recently expanded its hotel recommendations and announced the addition of hotels across the U. Texas is not alone in striking up such a deal. The tourism arms for California and Florida have invested six-figure sums to draw in the iconic hotel and restaurant guide.
Countries such as South Korea, Singapore and Thailand have spent millions. Each of the five Texas cities that financially contributed to bring the guide to the state had at least one hotel recognized. El Paso and Galveston, two cities that did not individually contribute, also landed on the list.
We are willing to push them to explore off the beaten path. At that point in time the auto industry in France was still young, so the earliest guide included information on how to fill a gas tank and change a tire in addition to recommendations for restaurants and hotels. It was later still when two and three star rankings were added to the list. For hotels, a single key denotes a special stay and two keys refer to an exceptional stay. The pinnacle is an award of three keys, which indicate an exceptional stay.
Trained anonymous inspectors visit each restaurant and hotel multiple times, including different seasons, and evaluate service both on busy weekends and traditionally slower weekdays. Fort Worth restaurateurs now anxiously await news about which establishments made the cut. A date for that press conference is forthcoming, a Michelin spokesperson said.
