Ameristar Casino Resort Spa Becomes First AAA Four Diamond Hotel in St. Charles

Ameristar Casino Resort Spa is now rated among the nation's elite
lodging facilities after becoming the first hotel in St. Charles to
earn the prestigious American Automobile Association (AAA) Four
Diamond designation.
Ameristar's 397 all-suite luxury hotel and spa in St. Charles
opened in 2008 and now joins Ameristar properties in Council
Bluffs, Iowa and Jackpot, Nevada as Four Diamond facilities. The
Company also recently opened a 536-room Four Diamond-caliber luxury
hotel and spa in Black Hawk, Colorado, which serves the Metro
Denver market.
One of the lodging and restaurant industry's most illustrious
honors, the AAA Four Diamond designation recognizes establishments
that consistently achieve high levels of quality and service. It is
awarded to those restaurants or hotels that significantly meet or
exceed AAA requirements. Less than four percent of North America's
lodging facilities attain the level of excellence required for the
Four Diamond designation.
Ameristar Casino Resort Spa St. Charles earned the honor after
being evaluated unknowingly on more than 300 facility and guest
service benchmarks.
Ameristar CEO and Vice Chairman Gordon Kanofsky said, "Ameristar
is honored by the designation, which affirms the dedication to
excellence at our eight properties."
"Ameristar is built on providing premium facilities coupled with
outstanding guest service. Both are central to earning the AAA Four
Diamond designation," Kanofsky added. "The St. Charles hotel and
our newly opened hotel at our Black Hawk, Colorado property are the
most recent examples of Ameristar's commitment to excellence in
quality properties and service."
The hotel tower at Ameristar Casino Resort Spa St. Charles is a
25-story full-service casino resort destination that includes the
lavish 7,000-square-foot Ara Spa and an inviting indoor-outdoor
connecting pool with a full-length deck and event lawn area.
Custom design and finishes are prevalent throughout. Sunken
living rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows showcase views of the
Missouri River on one side and the historic city of St. Charles on
the other. Non-smoking and wheelchair-accessible rooms are
available.
Each suite features:
- Full-height leather headboards
- Geometrically-patterned stone floors at the entrance
- 37-inch plasma-screen televisions in the living room and
bedroom
- Bathrooms with a separate tub and glass-enclosed shower,
matching vanities, enclosed water closets and an LCD television
screen
- Complimentary high-speed wireless Internet access
- In-room safe
Ten King Spa and two Presidential suites include such features
as full wet bars, premium surround-sound entertainment systems and
gas log fireplaces.
