Denver’s Ritz-Carlton announced in October 2012 that for the third year in a row the hotel was awarded the AAA Five-Diamond rating. In 2012, the Ritz-Carlton Denver is also the only Mile High City hotel to receive this award. Each year, the unannounced AAA inspection occurs at more than 31,000 approved properties. Less than one-third of one percent make the AAA Five Diamond list.  The inspectors consider 89 detailed property attributes – from landscaping to extra pillows in the room – during their on-site inspections, ultimately attaching a rating from one to five AAA Diamonds.Accommodations at the Five-Diamond AAA Ritz Carlton Denver — Photo courtesy of Diana Rowe

The 202-room luxury hotel is located in the heart of downtown Denver, offering the city’s most spacious guestrooms, including 47 suites and 32 Club Level rooms. The Ritz-Carlton in Denver also offers an on-site signature steakhouse, ELWAY’S Downtown, with its USDA prime steaks, sushi bar and outdoor terrace.  The property also boasts a Forbes Four-Star winning Ritz-Carlton Spa. The property’s AAA-Five Diamond designation reflects the distinctive characteristics of AAA’s lodgings luxury, sophistication, personalized services and amenities.

“We are truly proud of the incredible service we extend to our guests each and every day,” said Steven Janicek, general manager. “Without the attention to detail, anticipation and fulfillment of guests’ needs and genuine care and comfort, maintaining and achieving this accolade would not be possible.”
