MICHELIN Guide Recognises Three Destinations Featuring ÖÖD Design

September 23, 2026

Three destinations featuring ÖÖD houses and saunas are now recognised by the MICHELIN Guide.

The latest is Tu Tu’ Tun Lodge in Oregon, awarded One MICHELIN Key in 2026. It joins UMI Hotel in Iceland, which also holds One MICHELIN Key, while Harmony Seljalandsfoss, home to ÖÖD Möön, is part of the MICHELIN Guide hotel selection.

Each place uses ÖÖD differently, but all three are built around the same idea: the place itself should remain the reason you came.

Tu Tu’ Tun Lodge, Oregon, USA

Tu Tu’ Tun Lodge sits among forest and water on Oregon’s Rogue River.

Guests can stay in 12 ÖÖD Signature Houses, built as PMRVs for the US market. From inside, the river and trees fill the view. From outside, the mirrored façade reflects the landscape around it.

The property also features an ÖÖD Medium Sauna by the water.

MICHELIN picked up on these details too, highlighting the reflective glass cabins in its 2026 US Key selection and mentioning the riverside sauna in its coverage of the property.

The architecture is present, but the river, forest and changing light remain the main event.

UMI Hotel, South Iceland

UMI Hotel sits in the dramatic landscape of Iceland’s south coast and holds One MICHELIN Key.

For UMI, ÖÖD created a custom sauna designed specifically for the hotel and its surroundings.

Here, the experience is less about where you sleep and more about how the day ends.

After hours spent outside, guests can return to heat and stillness, with the Icelandic landscape just beyond the glass.

Harmony Seljalandsfoss, South Iceland

Further along the south coast, Harmony Seljalandsfoss offers just two secluded stays surrounded by open Icelandic landscape.

The property is selected by the MICHELIN Guide, and here ÖÖD Möön House is the stay itself.

Its curved glass roof opens the room towards the sky, making long summer evenings, winter darkness and, when conditions allow, the Northern Lights part of the experience.

There is very little between you and the landscape. That is exactly the point.

Three places, three ways to stay closer to nature

A MICHELIN Key is awarded to the hotel and its complete guest experience, not to an individual house, sauna or supplier.

Still, these three destinations show how differently the same design philosophy can come to life.

At Tu Tu’ Tun, it is a Signature House and sauna beside the river.

At UMI, it is a custom sauna added to an established hotel.

At Harmony, Möön shapes the entire stay.

For guests, that means three very different ways to experience a place more closely. For hospitality owners, it shows how accommodation and wellness can become part of the destination rather than simply something placed within it.

That is also what we mean when we say ÖÖD is about creating the most exciting stays on Earth.

Not louder architecture.

Better places to be.
