“The world-renowned Michelin Green Guide is an invitation for visitors to explore one of America’s most iconic cities – to discover the innovation of our industries, the beauty in our art, flavors of our kitchens, and the stories of our people,” said Claude Molinari, president & CEO of Visit Detroit. “Given the trajectory Detroit is on, we are honored and proud to be one of just 10 U.S. cities to achieve this recognition and thank Michelin for inspiring the world to visit Detroit.”
Cranbrook Educational Community, Detroit Institute of Arts, Downtown Detroit, Guardian Building and The Henry Ford Museum were awarded three-star ratings from Michelin—rating equally to the most famous attractions in the world, such as the Louvre in Paris.
The famous stars are categorized by the following:
- Three stars: Worth a special journey
- Two stars: Worth a détour
- One star: Worth a visit
“Being recognized with three stars in the Michelin Green Guide is a testament to the Detroit Institute of Arts’ commitment to offering an unparalleled cultural experience,” said Elliott Broom, Chief Operating Officer, Detroit Institute of Arts. “We are honored to be celebrated as a must-visit destination that inspires and enriches visitors from around the world.”
The Green Guide also pays homage to the people of the city. The guide states: “The city’s best asset is neither its privileged geographical location nor the know how it has inherited but its exceptionally resilient citizens who invent new ways of living and doing things when things get tough.”
