known
'bekannt' and 'renommiert' can both say that a person, a company, or an institution is familiar to many people. But 'renommiert' means more: it is about a very good reputation and recognition. 'bekannt' can be neutral; you are only saying that many people know something. Learners may confuse the words because renowned people or institutions are usually also well-known. If the good reputation is important, 'renommiert' is more precise.
Sie arbeitet an einer renommierten Klinik in München.

Das Restaurant ist in der Stadt sehr bekannt.
