For owners and managers
To earn a Key is to stand among the best.
A Key Award is independent proof of excellence: it sets a property apart in a crowded market, validates its quality, and signals to travelers that the home delivers an elevated experience.
What a Key means
A credibility advantage that cannot be bought.
Differentiation
Stand apart from listings that all claim to be exceptional, with recognition from an independent authority.
Verified quality
Your property’s standard is confirmed by in-person inspection, not inferred from photos or averages.
Pricing authority
A Key enhances perceived value and supports the rates that exceptional homes deserve.
How properties are considered
Selected by our inspectors. Never for a fee.
Our evaluators identify properties for inspection in each destination we cover. There is no fee to be considered, and no way to purchase or request a Key.
Owners and managers are welcome to bring a property to our attention. A recommendation does not guarantee an inspection or a result, and every property is held to the same standard.
