AAA

The AAA Diamond Program focuses on evaluating hotel quality, cleanliness, amenities, and service—not environmental sustainability. Diamond tiers are determined by factors that influence the guest experience, including physical accommodations, housekeeping standards, and hospitality. Environmental practices—such as energy efficiency, water conservation, and waste‑reduction efforts—are not weighted in determining a property’s Diamond designation. That said, many hotels pursue sustainability initiatives independently of their Diamond rating. Travelers who prioritize eco‑friendly accommodations should research a property’s environmental programs separately, as these efforts fall outside the Diamond scoring system. AAA may include information about sustainability features within property listings, but such details are informational only and do not affect the official Diamond level.
