We are excited for Hotel 1928 and are proud to see them receive this prestigious recognition! A Michelin Key is an extraordinary accomplishment, and for Hotel 1928 to earn its first One-Key distinction is a tremendous reflection of the vision, investment, attention to detail, and exceptional hospitality their team has brought to Waco.

This recognition is also significant for Waco. Visitors today are looking for memorable experiences that extend well beyond the attractions they visit, and where they stay is an important part of that experience. Hotel 1928 has elevated Waco's lodging offerings while creating something that feels authentic to our community and its history.

National recognition of this caliber reinforces what we're seeing across Waco: our city continues to grow and evolve, our hospitality industry continues to raise the bar, and Waco is increasingly being recognized as a must-visit destination. To see Hotel 1928 recognized among an exceptional group of hotels nationally is a tremendous accomplishment for their team and a proud moment for Waco.

A recognition of our history, design, and the experience found within these walls. Hotel 1928 has been awarded one MICHELIN Key.

Thank you to MICHELIN Guide our team, and our guests for being part of the story.
