Three of San Diego’s waterfront hotels have earned top honors from the Automobile Club of Southern California.

Port of San Diego tenants Loews Coronado Bay Resort, the San Diego Marriott Hotel and Marina and the Manchester Grand Hyatt were designated 2010 AAA Four Diamond Award winners.

“North America’s AAA Diamond Rating System is a long-time trusted method of rating lodgings and dining establishments, especially during what has been a difficult economic year for the hospitality industry and also for travelers,” said the Auto Club’s Approved Accommodations Supervisor Patricia Marenco.

The hotels’ general managers will be presented a rating plaque featuring a design of four raised simulated diamonds and the AAA Four Diamond Award logo. Award winners rank among the top 3.4 percent of more than 2,600 Southern California hotels, motels, and restaurants inspected by the Auto Club, the nation’s largest AAA affiliate, according to AAA.

"The Port of San Diego is proud of its world-class hotels and the ambiance that is the Big Bay,” said Board of Port Commissioners Chairman Stephen P. Cushman. “We congratulate them on their outstanding achievement and are proud of their accomplishment."

A total of 66 Southern California hotels and 32 restaurants have earned the 2010 AAA Four Diamond Award this year.

Whether for an extended stay or a weekend getaway, the Big Bay offers 15 hotels to suit the needs of every traveler. Book your next stay on the Waterfront through March 31, 2010, and receive up to 30 percent off.
