Hilton Head Island, SC (February 13, 2012) – The Westin Hilton Head Island was recently recognized with three different awards of distinction. AAA presented the prestigious AAA Four Diamond award to the Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa. This award marks 18 years that the AAA Carolinas has honored The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa for superior quality, service and excellence in the state. "AAA’s requirements for a Four Diamond rating are rigorous, and those that win it are among the best hotels and restaurants in the world,” said Dave Parsons, president and CEO of AAA Carolinas. "Only 3.4 percent of the more than 58,000 annual inspections conducted nationally result in a Four Diamond rating.”
AAA gives the Four Diamond awards annually to qualified hotels and restaurants in North America. More than 2,000 properties nationally earn the Four Diamond ratings after specially trained evaluators conduct anonymous overnight stays or dine incognito. Lodgings include eight different classifications, such as bed and breakfast, hotel, cottage and country inn with four sub-classifications such as historic, classic, resort and casino.
The Heavenly Spa by Westin, Hilton Head Island was recently recognized as one of the "Top 10 Hot Spas in the South” by Convention South magazine.
