Peak Edge Hotel and Casa Hotel recognised by MICHELIN Guide hotel selection
Added by Love Business East Midlands | 27 May 2026
Two of Derbyshire’s leading independent hotels are celebrating international recognition after being included within the MICHELIN Guide hotel selection.
Peak Edge Hotel and Casa Hotel have both been recognised by the globally-renowned MICHELIN Guide, placing the family-owned Derbyshire hotels alongside some of the world’s most respected and experience-led places to stay.
The MICHELIN Guide hotel selection highlights hotels recognised for their character, service, design and overall guest experience, with properties featured from destinations across the world.
The recognition marks another major milestone for Casa Hotels Group, which has continued to build a strong reputation for quality hospitality, food, experience-led stays and independent luxury within Derbyshire and the Peak District.
Peak Edge Hotel, a luxury four-star boutique hotel on the edge of the Peak District National Park, recently won Gold for Hotel of the Year at the Peak District, Derbyshire & Derby Tourism Awards 2026 and will now represent the region at the national VisitEngland Awards for Excellence.
The hotel also recently achieved an AA Quality Score of 85% following its latest inspection - a level typically associated with five-star hotels and among the strongest-performing four-star hotels in the country.
Known for its relaxed luxury, countryside setting and 2 AA Rosette Red Lion Restaurant, Peak Edge has built a strong reputation for heartfelt hospitality and farm-to-fork dining, with much of its produce sourced directly from Walton Lodge Farm Estate, owned by hotel proprietor Steve Perez.
Meanwhile, Casa Hotel has become one of Chesterfield’s best-known independent hotels, recognised for its spacious luxury bedrooms, vibrant Barca Bar, award-winning Cocina restaurant and strong reputation within the corporate and events market.
Its location close to Chesterfield railway station and the M1 has helped establish Casa as a key destination for both business and leisure guests visiting the region, while its independent ownership and personal service continue to set it apart from larger hotel chains.
Steve Perez, owner of Casa Hotels Group, said:
“We are incredibly proud to see both Peak Edge Hotel and Casa Hotel recognised within the MICHELIN Guide hotel selection.
“To be associated with a globally respected brand like MICHELIN is a fantastic achievement for the whole team and reflects the enormous amount of passion, hard work and care that goes into the guest experience across both hotels every single day.
“As an independent, family-owned business based here in Derbyshire, it means a great deal to receive this kind of international recognition.”
Mark Thurman, Managing Director of Casa Hotels Group, added:
“This is a hugely significant moment for us and another important step forward in the journey of both hotels.
“The MICHELIN Guide is recognised around the world as a benchmark for quality hospitality, so to have both Peak Edge and Casa included within the selection is incredibly exciting.
“We are passionate about continuing to raise the profile of Derbyshire and the Peak District as a destination for exceptional food, hospitality and luxury stays. Recognition like this helps shine a spotlight not only on our hotels, but on the wider region as well.”
The recognition gives both hotels exposure to an international audience of experience-led and luxury travellers seeking standout places to stay.
