Two esteemed
properties have recently joined the ranks of AAA’s Five Diamond award winners,
the highest honor in the AAA Diamond Program. Montage Healdsburg, located in
the heart of northern California’s wine country, and Cocina
de Autor in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, have snagged the top-tier designation
thanks to their high-end gourmet cuisine, exceptional service and luxurious
milieus.
Montage
Healdsburg, a stunning retreat nestled among the vineyards and rolling hills of
Sonoma County, is celebrated for its exquisite blend of modern design and
natural beauty. With its world-class spa, fine dining, and carefully curated
experiences, the hotel has earned a reputation as one of the most luxurious
accommodations in California.
Located within the
Grand Velas Los Cabos resort, Cocina de Autor is a world-class restaurant that
also holds the distinction of having a Michelin star, and is led by chef Sidney
Shutte, who boasts two Michelin stars of his own. The restaurant is renowned
for its innovative cuisine, which combines traditional Mexican flavors with
contemporary culinary techniques.
In addition to
these new Five Diamond honorees, 10 hotels and two restaurants have been
awarded the AAA Four Diamond designation this month. The Four Diamond award
signifies a commitment to upscale amenities, attentive service and singular
fine dining experiences.
