Some 121 hotels and 63 restaurants have received the AAA/CAA Five Diamond rating over the past year, and they’re mostly repeat winners. The list is made up of only 0.3 percent of the more than 58,000 AAA Diamond-rated hotels and restaurants.
“At the ultra-luxury level we’re seeing an increasing number of hotels offering guests the choice of high-end service by white glove or touch screen — in person or electronically,” said Michael Petrone, director of AAA Inspections and Diamond Ratings, in a news release.
“They’re complementing personal delivery with technology options such as in-room iPads and TV menus for ordering and scheduling services, apps for accessing newspapers and local reservations, mobile check-in and text alerts when their room is ready,” Petrone said. “Some Five Diamond hotels even place a TV within the bathroom mirror to complete guests’ high-tech stay.”
