Diamonds in the rough?

Sunday, 01 Nov, 2006 0

Scottsdale, Ariz., has only 237,000 residents and 67 hotels but it has four Five Diamond hotels, according to the latest findings of AAA.

The Camelback Inn, a JW Marriott Resort, the Phoenician, the Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale at Troon North and the Fairmount Scottsdale Princess all earned Five Diamonds.

That put the city on par with Las Vegas, and was more Five Diamonds than earned by the cities of Chicago, Miami, San Francisco, Washington and the entire state of Hawaii.

Another winner in the ratings was The Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado, which has had Five Diamond ratings for 31 years.

Ten hotels and six restaurants earned the AAA Five Diamond Awards. Just 0.25% of the nearly 60,000 rated AAA properties across the US and North America earn the ratings.
