AAA Diamond lists are updated monthly, as inspectors visit hotels and restaurants throughout the year.

Diamond Inspectors are trained professionals who travel across North America to conduct unannounced, independent, in-person property inspections.
Currently, there are approximately 130 Five Diamond hotels and 60 Five Diamond restaurants, and 1,750 Four Diamond hotels and 535 Four Diamond restaurants.
Five Diamond properties offer ultimate luxury and leading-edge cuisine.

The 4Cs of AAA Diamonds
Cleanliness: AAA hotel inspections include ATP surface testing, the same technology used to verify cleanliness in the healthcare and food service industries.
Comfort: Inspectors evaluate a property’s quality of experience, range of amenities, and level of hospitality.
Cuisine: Diamond restaurants are assessed on their food, service, and vibe. Inspectors dine at these properties anonymously.
Consistency: AAA Diamond properties – no matter the designation – have one thing in common: consistency. Unlike subjective star reviews, Diamond inspections rely on published guidelines based on industry standards.
