Kimpton Hotel Monaco Pittsburgh has received the esteemed AAA Four Diamond Rating. This is the first time the hotel has attained this celebrated designation.
With a location perfect for business travelers or theatergoers, Kimpton Hotel Monaco gives a nod to local culture. Its unique decor includes black and gold armoires in each room. Enjoy the more than spacious guest rooms, the lobby area called "The Living Room" and "The Biergarten" on the roof in the summer time.
Kimpton Hotel Monaco joins four other hotels that have proven once again that they are Pittsburgh’s hospitality “gems,” according to AAA East Central. These establishments have been awarded AAA Four Diamond Awards for excellent service, and opulent décor.
“Travelers can rest easy knowing that Four Diamond hotels consistently exceed the expectations of AAA inspectors,” said Jim Lehman, president of AAA East Central. “These establishments are committed to providing every guest with a personalized experience and attentive service in comfortable, high quality surroundings.”
Hotels at the Four Diamond level, just 6.1 percent of AAA Inspected & Approved hotels, are an exclusive group. They must be refined and stylish with upscale physical attributes, extensive amenities and a high degree of hospitality, service and attention to detail.
Area hotels receiving the AAA Four Diamond Rating include:

ABOUT AAA DIAMOND RATINGS
For more than 80 years, AAA has used professional inspectors to conduct anonymous, in-person property evaluations. AAA offers the only rating system using comprehensive, on-site professional hotel and restaurant evaluations using published guidelines weighted by member priorities. With a far greater inventory than any other rating entity, AAA’s rating system covers the United States, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean.
The AAA inspectors who assign these ratings have a wide range of hospitality experience – their resumes include stints as hotel managers and food and beverage experts – that gives them an authoritative perspective. Inspectors provide an unmatched first-person, on-site view of emerging trends, which includes the continuing evolution of technology to elevate the guest experience.
