Two esteemed properties have recently joined the ranks of AAA’s Five Diamond award winners, the highest honor in the AAA Diamond Program. Montage Healdsburg, located in the heart of northern California’s wine country, and Cocina de Autor in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, have snagged the top-tier designation thanks to their high-end gourmet cuisine, exceptional service and luxurious milieus.
Montage Healdsburg, a stunning retreat nestled among the vineyards and rolling hills of Sonoma County, is celebrated for its exquisite blend of modern design and natural beauty. With its world-class spa, fine dining, and carefully curated experiences, the hotel has earned a reputation as one of the most luxurious accommodations in California.
Located within the Grand Velas Los Cabos resort, Cocina de Autor is a world-class restaurant that also holds the distinction of having a Michelin star, and is led by chef Sidney Shutte, who boasts two Michelin stars of his own. The restaurant is renowned for its innovative cuisine, which combines traditional Mexican flavors with contemporary culinary techniques.
In addition to these new Five Diamond honorees, 10 hotels and two restaurants have been awarded the AAA Four Diamond designation this month. The Four Diamond award signifies a commitment to upscale amenities, attentive service and singular fine dining experiences.
