Williamsburg Inn Receives AAA's Five Diamond Rating

WILLIAMSBURG, Va., Nov. 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The iconic Williamsburg Inn has received the coveted AAA Five Diamond designation. This is the first time the Williamsburg Inn has attained this prestigious rating.

Hotels at this level employ experienced, highly qualified staff to provide the custom service luxury hotel guests expect, according to AAA. These establishments deliver unmatched guest comfort with luxurious accommodations, extraordinary facilities and many personalized amenities.

"Guests of the Williamsburg Inn enjoy a perfect balance of historic elegance and modern comfort first realized by John D. Rockefeller Jr. 80 years ago, now reimagined for a contemporary audience," said Mitchell B. Reiss, President and CEO of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. "AAA's Five Diamond Award designation reflects our team's devotion to providing a world-class experience.  I could not be more proud of what they have accomplished."  

The Williamsburg Inn is part of a select group representing the upper echelon of the hospitality industry in North America. Just 120 hotels and 63 restaurants made the AAA Five Diamond lists for 2017.

"On behalf of everyone at the Williamsburg Inn and the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation we are so honored to receive the coveted AAA Five Diamond Award designation," said Florencio Ferrao, Colonial Williamsburg Vice President of Hospitality. "Following our recent renovations and continued commitment to exceptional service, this rating reflects our property and staff's place among the best in the industry. The Inn is proud of the dedication from our staff, the support of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation and for all those who worked to earn the Inn a Five Diamond Rating."

"A big part of becoming a Five Diamond establishment is consistently exceeding expectations of the most discriminating traveler — the AAA inspector. Five Diamond hotels and restaurants deliver a highly personalized, memorable experience, and we are pleased to recognize the Williamsburg Inn with the Five Diamond Rating," said Michael Petrone, director, AAA Inspections and Diamond Ratings.
