Foxwoods Resort Casino Earns AAA Four Diamond Award for 10th Year in a Row
Mashantucket, CT - August 9, 2013 - Foxwoods® Resort Casino is proud to announce the Grand Pequot Tower Hotel and MGM Grand at Foxwoods Hotel have each been honored with the American Automobile Association (AAA) Four Diamond Rating, one of the most coveted designations in North America's hospitality industry. This is the 10th and 4th consecutive years, respectively, both hotels have earned this distinction. Only 4.8 percent of the 30,000 lodgings approved by AAA make the Four Diamond list each year.
AAA's Diamond Rating is one of the few appraisal systems that rely on physical on-site inspections. Members of AAA's inspection team evaluate each property based on comfort, cleanliness, security, and available services and amenities. Each property is then given a Diamond Rating between one and five.
“Our goal at Foxwoods is to surpass our guests' expectations by challenging ourselves to deliver unique experiences” said Vice President of Hotel Operations Jason Guyot. “We are honored to be recognized year after year by AAA as one of the world's premier hospitality destinations, and we'll continue to strive to earn their recognition.”
Flanked by striking art and architecture, the soaring Mashantucket Pequot Tower Hotel lobby leads to a tower of spacious deluxe rooms and plush suites. In 2013, guests will begin to see a new design concept introduced in rooms and hallways, including contemporary decor with a blend of seafoam blues and soft ecru accents. Fine dining at Paragon Restaurant, relaxation at Norwich Spa and some of the most popular casinos of Foxwoods are minutes away.
The MGM Grand at Foxwoods Hotel is all about anticipation just steps away from modern gaming, pulsing with music and surrounded by celebrity-chef dining, shopping and a grand outdoor pool. MGM Grand at Foxwoods' guest rooms and suites are outfitted with retro-chic, modern decor, featuring the latest technology for the savvy traveler.
