Apple is updating Maps to show recommendations and information from outside sources like Michelin, The Infatuation, and Golf Digest, according to a press release. Michelin recommendations will be available first, with “rankings and insights” from The Infatuation and Golf Digest added “soon” and “more expert sources to follow,” Apple says.
“With this update, place cards will now reflect distinctions, descriptions, and images from expert sources,” Apple says. “Additionally, for select hotels, users can now book directly from Maps, with the option to schedule restaurant reservations through Michelin and tee times through Supreme Golf coming soon.”
I was able to get the “Michelin Distinctions” search filter to show up after searching for “Hotels” inside the Maps app on my iPhone 16 Pro. When I tapped on one of the hotels that popped up, The Hoxton in Portland, Maps showed that it had one Michelin Key (like a Michelin Star, but for hotels) and a summary of the hotel pulled from Michelin Guide.
Apple and Formula 1 also announced updates to Monaco in Maps ahead of the Monaco Grand Prix and the release of Apple’s F1 movie.
