AAA describes its evaluations as more than just a typical rating system. Diamond designations reflect the type of experience a property offers so you can choose the destination for every trip. Whether it's an overnight stop, a family vacation or a special-occasion splurge, Diamonds offer guidance at a glance to make your travel planning easier. AAA’s professional inspectors take a detailed look at a property’s quality, cleanliness, and condition.
AAA Four Diamond hotels and restaurants, which represent less than five percent of the total, are an exclusive group. They must be refined and stylish with upscale physical attributes; extensive amenities and a high degree of hospitality, service, and attention to detail.
