01.10.2024 - 20:45 / travelpulse.com / Laurie Baratti
A trio of prestigious hotels have just been awarded the AAA Diamond Program’s highest distinction of Five Diamonds, cementing their reputations as leading in luxury hospitality. Namely, the Waldorf Astoria Chicago; The Setai, Miami Beach; and Four Seasons Hotel San Francisco.
These properties provide the highest levels of service, comfort and refinement, offering their guests opulent surroundings and unmatched experiences. In addition to these standout hotels, more than a dozen other properties have joined the ranks of AAA Four Diamond establishments this month, a category that recognizes upscale amenities and exceptional fine dining.
AAA’s Diamond Program Inspectors conduct thorough surprise assessments of hotels and restaurants throughout North America, the Caribbean and Costa Rica. These properties are evaluated based on the “4 Cs” of Cleanliness, Comfort, Cuisine and Consistency. Earning a Five Diamond rating is a testament to a property’s commitment to maintaining the very highest standards of luxury and hospitality.
Some restaurants also received fresh recognition this month, with establishments like Bistro Napa in Reno, Nevada; The Bazaar by José Andrés in Washington, D.C.; Manzanita in Truckee, California; and Essence Restaurant + Bar in Elkhart, Indiana earning AAA Four Diamond distinctions.
Here is the list of this month’s new additions:
New AAA Five Diamond Hotels:
New AAA Four Diamond Hotels:
New AAA Four Diamond Restaurants:
Diamond lists are updated on a monthly basis, since AAA Inspectors visit various establishments throughout the year. With these new additions, there are now approximately 140 Five Diamond hotels and 60 Five Diamond restaurants, along with 1,750 Four Diamond hotels and 500 Four Diamond restaurants in the AAA program.
To explore or book a stay at these Diamond-rated properties, travelers can use AAA’s free Trip Canvas tool or consult with a AAA travel advisor for personalized recommendations.
