Steamboat Grand retains top rating

Steamboat Springs

The Steamboat Grand Resort Hotel and Conference Center has retained the four-diamond rating it earned from AAA last year.

AAA presented its 2004 Four Diamond Award to 26 lodgings and 23 restaurants in Colorado on March 19 at The Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs.

The Grand is among a select group of AAA Four Diamond winners. Only 3.25 percent of the estimated 31,000 rated lodgings and 3.21 percent of the estimated 19,100 restaurants are awarded Four Diamond designations.

The Four Diamond symbol will be included in each property's and restaurant's listing in the 2004 AAA Colorado/Utah guide released this month.
