2010 - 5 Diamond Award Restaurants

Only 0.27 percent of the more than 60,000 hotels, resorts and restaurants throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean meet the standard for superior quality and excellence to earn the coveted 5 Diamond Award. That is only 60 restaurants and 100 hotels...total!

How the process works: a hotel or restaurant must apply for an evaluation to determine if they meet The Association's basic requirements for hospitality, cleanliness and comfort.

If The Association approves the application, one of their 65 professional evaluators will pay a visit to the hotel or restaurant for evaluation. All evaluations are done without notice to ensure the inspector gets the same experience a consumer would.

If a hotel or restaurants passes The Association's thorough inspection they become Approved, plus they receive a The Association's rating of One to Five Diamonds, which describes the level of quality and excellence one can expect at that establishment. The Five Diamond Award is the highest rating, given only to the premier properties that provide the ultimate in quality and service.

If you saw the film Ocean's Thirteen, starring George Clooney and Brad Pitt, the owner of the casino The Bank (played by Al Pacino) was very concerned about getting his fifth 5 Diamond award. Carl Reiner played the fake evaluator as part of the movies big con.
