HARTFORD, CT - May 13, 2014 - The Marriott Hartford Downtown team has continued to prove their consistency and passion for hospitality excellence with their recent acceptance of another AAA Four Diamond Award, presented during the 2014 Connecticut Conference on Tourism held at the Connecticut Convention Center on April 24. This is the Marriott Hartford Downtown's 9th consecutive Four Diamond rating, a recognition the hotel has earned every year since its opening in 2005. The 409-room full-service Marriott is managed by Waterford Hotel Group, a national hotel and convention center management firm.

"At the Marriott Hartford Downtown, we strive to provide our guests with a first-class experience," said John Fraher, General Manager. "It is a privilege to again receive the AAA Four Diamond Award and be among the upper echelon of hotels in North America."

Each year, the AAA organization inspects more than 29,000 hotels and restaurants nationwide, and only a mere 5.3 percent of hotels reach the high standards required to receive the esteemed Four Diamond rating. In order to meet the standards for a Four Diamond Award, establishments must affirm that they are refined and stylish with upscale physical attributes that reflect enhanced quality throughout. Fundamental hallmarks of Four Diamond properties include extensive amenities and a high degree of hospitality, service and attention to detail.
