Only one Canadian hotel gets five diamonds

Just one hotel in Canada has been given five diamonds – the equivalent of the European five stars award – by North America’s two leading motoring organisations – the equivalent of the AA and the RAC – and it’s in a ski resort! The Four Seasons Resort in Whistler, which opened five years ago, has been given the American Automobile Association (AAA) and was the only Canadian hotel so honoured. Less than .3% of the 58,000 rated lodgings in the US, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean receive the five diamond award.
