The Four Diamond hotel rating is something you may have seen when searching for places to stay during your vacation. The distinction sounds impressive, but what does being a AAA Four Diamond hotel mean when it comes to your stay?


What makes a Four Diamond hotel


Every year, the AAA sends inspectors, posing as guests, to hotels across North America to evaluate them on their upscale amenities, service, and style. They also consider cleanliness, comfort, and consistency before handing down a rating between one and five diamonds. AAA describes a Four Diamond hotel as having “Upscale style and amenities with the right touch of service.” In 2023, only 170 Florida hotels received Four Diamond rating.
