Michelin Red Guides provide consistent information about hotels and restaurants and include an internationally-recognized rating system.

Updated annually, the Red Guides offer up to 10,000 addresses, ranging from small hostels to luxury hotels and from small eateries to gourmet restaurants and include suggestions for local cafes and authentic local food as well as highly rated gourmet restaurants and cuisine.

Red Guides are written in the language of the country but consist almost entirely of internationally recognized symbols and include an introduction in English explaining them.
