Four Seasons Resort Whistler is the only Canadian resort or hotel to receive AAA-Five Diamond®

Whistler, BC – The much anticipated American Automobile Association Five-Diamond® list was just released and Four Seasons Resort Whistler is the only Canadian hotel or resort to make the cut. For the third year running, this recognition assists in placing the resort on the world map as the exclusive year-round Canadian destination.

“Four Seasons Resort Whistler sets a new standard for luxury mountain accommodation,” said Mark Herron, general manager. “We dedicate this award to our employees who make it happen everyday and create incredible experiences for our guests. It is their unwavering attention to detail and ongoing commitment to service that has earned us this prestigious recognition.”

Representing the upper echelon of the hospitality industry, AAA Five-Diamond® winners make up just 0.28 per cent of the 58,000 Diamond Rated® lodgings and restaurants throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean.

“Five Diamond establishments reflect the characteristics of ultimate luxury and sophistication,” said Michael Petrone, director of AAA Tourism Information Development. “The physical attributes of these properties are extraordinary and their personalized service consistently exceeds expectations of even the most refined traveler. To achieve and maintain this level of service is an amazing accomplishment.”

Since opening five years ago, Four Seasons Resort Whistler’s unique property, award-winning restaurant, luxurious spa and world class Ski Concierge service has made it North America’s most celebrated mountain retreat. In addition to the Five Diamond credit, Four Seasons Resort Whistler has been honoured with the following accolades this year.
