WASHINGTON, DC (October 27, 2025) – Two California properties are the newest recipients of AAA Four Diamonds. The Ava Hotel in Paso Robles and Localis in Sacramento earned the distinguished Four Diamond designation this month. The Ava Hotel, part of the Curio Collection by Hilton, offers modern amenities in the heart of downtown Paso Robles, including a rooftop, outdoor saltwater pool, and three dining experiences. Localis in Sacramento delivers fine dining minus the formality, offering artfully prepared dishes with a convivial atmosphere.
Throughout the year, AAA Inspectors visit hotels and restaurants across North America, the Caribbean, and Costa Rica unannounced to objectively verify the 4 Cs of AAA Diamonds: Cleanliness, Comfort, Cuisine, and Consistency.
