Connecticut’s idyllic northwest corner continues to be the home to the state’s most sparkling ‘Diamond’ in the ring of outstanding restaurants and lodgings AAA recognizes for world-class service, facilities and amenities.
For the 11th consecutive year, Winvian of Morris has earned two Five Diamond Awards – one for its property; the other for its restaurant.
An unusual 113-acre property and dining facility with 18 cottages featuring varying themes, Winvian employs an experienced staff who provides the luxury service to hotel guests by delivering unmatched comfort, extraordinary accommodations, personalized amenities, and outstanding facilities.
The Mayflower Inn & Spa, Auberge Resorts Collection in nearby Washington, is another Litchfield County property that earned a AAA Four Diamond award for the 6th consecutive year.
Winvian and the Mayflower join six other New Haven and Fairfield County Four Diamond restaurants and accommodations in AAA Northeast’s service territory that have earned AAA’s highest accolades for restaurants and lodging.
They include: Delamar Greenwich Harbor for 3 consecutive years; The Hyatt Regency Greenwich, 9 years; Delamar Southport, 10 years; Rebeccas Restaurant, Greenwich, 11 years; and The Homestead Inn and Thomas Henkelmann restaurant, both in Greenwich and both 17 years.
Attaining a AAA Four or Five Diamond rating signifies meticulous attention to detail, creativity, outstanding service, and memorable guest experiences, says Fran Mayko, AAA Northeast’s spokeswoman. “These restaurants and properties are truly the best of the best and we’re quite fortunate to have these ‘Diamonds’ right here in our own ‘backyard.’”
Just .3% of the 53,000 AAA-inspected and approved restaurants and properties nationally receive a Five Diamond designation and only 4.4% receive Four Diamonds, says Mayko.
