Three Years of the MICHELIN Key

The Quoin has held One MICHELIN Key every year since 2024. For us, the recognition reflects what we’ve worked on since day one: a hotel with real character, thoughtful service, and a deep connection to Wilmington.

What the MICHELIN Key means

The MICHELIN Key recognizes the most outstanding hotels in the MICHELIN Guide, much like the Guide’s Stars do for restaurants. One Key marks “a very special stay.” Hotels are judged on:

  • Architecture and interior design
  • Quality and consistency of service
  • Personality and character
  • Value for the price
  • Contribution to the surrounding neighborhood

The Key is in the Details

The Quoin brings new life to a historic Romanesque bank building in downtown Wilmington. Rich textures, vintage furnishings, thoughtful touches, and inviting spaces set the tone, while distinctive dining and drinking destinations—from Italian-inspired cuisine to cocktails in the former bank vault—make every detail worth discovering.
