Seven Greater Cincinnati Hotels Earned Four Diamonds on AAA List

Add this to another list of reasons why Cincinnati is becoming a leading travel destination: six Cincinnati hotels and one in Covington were once again awarded 4-Diamond status on AAA’s prestigious list.

AAA recently unveiled its 5- and 4-Diamond restaurants and hotels for 2022. The list from Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky includes:

• Hotel Covington
• 21c Museum Hotel
• Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza
• Renaissance Cincinnati Downtown
• The Cincinnatian Hotel
• Lytle Park Hotel
• The Summit Hotel

“Diamond designations reflect AAA Inspectors’ commitment to quality and consistency in the hospitality industry. Diamond Inspectors are trained professionals who travel across North America to conduct unannounced, independent, in-person property inspections,” the motor club said on its website.

According to AAA, 4-Diamond hotels offer “upscale amenities,” and Diamonds operate under the “4Cs” of cleanliness, comfort, cuisine and consistency.
