Ameristar Casino Resort Spa is now rated among the nation's elite lodging facilities after becoming the first hotel in St. Charles to earn the prestigious American Automobile Association (AAA) Four Diamond designation.
Ameristar's 397 all-suite luxury hotel and spa in St. Charles opened in 2008 and now joins Ameristar properties in Council Bluffs, Iowa and Jackpot, Nevada as Four Diamond facilities. The Company also recently opened a 536-room Four Diamond-caliber luxury hotel and spa in Black Hawk, Colorado, which serves the Metro Denver market.
One of the lodging and restaurant industry's most illustrious honors, the AAA Four Diamond designation recognizes establishments that consistently achieve high levels of quality and service. It is awarded to those restaurants or hotels that significantly meet or exceed AAA requirements. Less than four percent of North America's lodging facilities attain the level of excellence required for the Four Diamond designation.
Ameristar Casino Resort Spa St. Charles earned the honor after being evaluated unknowingly on more than 300 facility and guest service benchmarks.
Ameristar CEO and Vice Chairman Gordon Kanofsky said, "Ameristar is honored by the designation, which affirms the dedication to excellence at our eight properties."
"Ameristar is built on providing premium facilities coupled with outstanding guest service. Both are central to earning the AAA Four Diamond designation," Kanofsky added. "The St. Charles hotel and our newly opened hotel at our Black Hawk, Colorado property are the most recent examples of Ameristar's commitment to excellence in quality properties and service."
The hotel tower at Ameristar Casino Resort Spa St. Charles is a 25-story full-service casino resort destination that includes the lavish 7,000-square-foot Ara Spa and an inviting indoor-outdoor connecting pool with a full-length deck and event lawn area.
