Radisson Plaza Hotel & Suites Kalamazoo has once again earned the prestigious AAA Four Diamond designation for 2026, reaffirming its place among North America's top hospitality destinations.
The recognition marks another year of distinction for the downtown Kalamazoo hotel, which has maintained Four Diamond status for more than a decade and continues to deliver exceptional guest experiences through outstanding service, upscale accommodations, and premier amenities.
"Earning the AAA Four Diamond designation for another year is a tremendous honor and a testament to our team's unwavering commitment to excellence," said Rhiannon Zielinski, Director of Hotel Operations at Radisson Plaza Hotel at Kalamazoo Center. "This recognition reflects the high standards we set for ourselves every day and our focus on creating exceptional experiences for every guest who walks through our doors. We are proud to represent Kalamazoo on a national stage and remain dedicated to delivering the elevated service and hospitality that have become hallmarks of our hotel."
Radisson Plaza Hotel & Suites Kalamazoo is part of a select group representing the upper tier of the hospitality industry. Hotels earning the AAA Four Diamond designation are recognized for their refined style, elevated amenities, and attentive service that consistently exceeds guest expectations.
To earn the designation, hotels must successfully complete AAA's rigorous evaluation process, which includes unannounced, in-person inspections conducted by professional inspectors. Only a small percentage of the nearly 23,000 AAA Diamond-designated lodging properties achieve Four Diamond status.
Situated in the heart of downtown Kalamazoo and locally owned and operated by Greenleaf Hospitality Group, Radisson Plaza Hotel & Suites Kalamazoo offers 340 guest rooms and suites, more than 50,000 square feet of meeting and event space, three on-site restaurants, a Starbucks, Blush Salon + Spa, a fitness center, indoor pool, and retail shop.
For more than 80 years, AAA's professional inspectors have conducted in-person property evaluations. AAA remains the only organization that uses comprehensive, on-site professional hotel and restaurant inspections guided by member priorities. AAA's Diamond Program includes nearly 30,000 hotels and restaurants across the United States, Canada, Mexico, Costa Rica, and the Caribbean.
Travelers can find AAA Diamond hotels and restaurants and inspector insights through AAA's trip-planning resources, including Trip Canvas, the AAA Mobile App, TripTik Travel Planner, and AAA TourBook guides. For more information, visit AAA.com/Diamonds.
