The American Club Receives AAA’s Five Diamond Rating
Kohler, Wis. (PRWEB) February 18, 2016 -- The American Club resort-hotel has been awarded the coveted AAA Five Diamond designation for 2016. This is the 31st time that the resort has attained this prestigious rating, and it is the only property in the State of Wisconsin to achieve it.
The American Club is part of a select group representing the upper echelon of the hospitality industry in North America. Currently, just 118 hotels hold the AAA Five Diamond Rating. Hotels at this level employ experienced, highly qualified staff to provide the custom service that luxury hotel guests expect. These establishments deliver unmatched guest comfort with luxurious accommodations, extraordinary facilities and many personalized amenities.
“We are honored to receive the coveted AAA Five Diamond Award designation,” said Michael Belot, General Manager of Destination Kohler. “This award reflects the commitment of our staff and management to provide every guest with exceptional hospitality on a consistent basis – which we are proud to have done for more than three decades.”
“A big part of becoming a Five Diamond establishment is consistently exceeding expectations of even the most discriminating traveler — the AAA inspector. Five Diamond properties deliver a highly personalized, memorable experience, and we are pleased to recognize The American Club with the Five Diamond Rating,” said Nick Jarmusz, director of public affairs for AAA Wisconsin.
In addition to the Five Diamond lodging accommodations, The American Club is also home to the Immigrant Restaurant & Winery Bar, which has also received a Four Diamond designation from AAA. Restaurants at this level, of which there are only two other in Wisconsin, offer a distinctive fine-dining experience and attentive service with menu offerings that are typically distinguished by highly creative chefs using top-quality ingredients. The Immigrant Restaurant & Winery Bar, is renowned for its modern cuisine and the unique intimacy provided by its six small dining rooms, each one decorated in the distinctive style of the first Europeans to settle Wisconsin: French, Dutch, German, Normandy, Danish and English.
The American Club was initially built in 1918 as a dorm for immigrants who had come to work at the Kohler factory across the street. On an imaginative leap of faith, Kohler Co. set out to transform the red-brick Tutor property into a luxurious resort hotel in 1981, and today it is recognized as one of the most premier resort destinations in the country. Offering elegant rooms outfitted with the finest KOHLER plumbing products – along with tile and furnishings from Kohler Interiors brands including Ann Sacks, McGuire and Baker – The American Club maintains what AAA recognized as “impeccable standards of excellence.”
In addition to myriad dining options and sophisticated conference facility and services, the resort also boasts the luxurious Kohler Waters Spa. This soothing sanctuary offers an extensive menu of unique treatments that make use of the company’s state-of-the-art plumbing technologies, as well as a relaxation pool and glass-enclosed rooftop deck. In addition, The American Club is renowned for its award-winning championship golf courses, Whistling Straits and Blackwolf Run, which have hosted three PGA Championships, the U.S. Senior Open, two U.S. Women’s Opens and is home to the upcoming 2020 Ryder Cup.
