AAA Diamond Rating Process

AAA evaluates and rates hotels and restaurants as a service to members, ensuring objective information and an ample selection. Approximately 32,000 hotels and 28,000 restaurants throughout the United States, Canada, the Caribbean, and Mexico are AAA Approved and Diamond rated.

To be considered for approval and rating by AAA, hotels and restaurants that meet AAA members' basic hotel and restaurant requirements must first apply for an evaluation.

If the application is accepted, a AAA evaluator will visit the establishment. Evaluations are unannounced to ensure that our professionals experience a hotel or restaurant just as you would.

After a thorough inspection is conducted, establishments that meet AAA’s criteria become AAA Approved — indicating their ability to provide a quality experience for members. Every hotel or restaurant that achieves the AAA Approved designation offers an acceptable level of quality for you; AAA does not approve poor-quality establishments.

Next, each AAA Approved hotel and restaurant is assigned a AAA rating of one to five Diamonds, indicating the level of services and amenities provided.
