Some of the best eateries and hotels were recognized Monday for well -- being great.
AAA Mid-Atlantic named the recipients of their prestigious Five and Four Diamond Awards at a ceremony at the Four Seasons in Center City.
Having the ceremony at the Four Seasons made sense since the luxury hotel’s Fountain Restaurant was one of three Five-Diamond winners along with the hotel itself. The other Five-Diamond star was the Rittenhouse Hotel and Condominium.
As for the Four-Diamond winners The Inn at Bowman’s Hill and 10 Arts Bistro and Lounge by Eric Ripert were honored along with eight others.
