UPDATE: See the full list here.

AAA has just released their new list of 2009 Five Diamond Hotels and it turns out California is a pretty nice place for hotels. Of the six new hotels to gain Five Diamond status, three of them are in Southern California.

· The Beverly Hills Hotel: Our favorite hotel for celeb-spotting.
· The Montage Laguna Beach: They of the best crabcakes.
· Four Seasons Hotel Westlake Village: The place to recuperate from your plastic surgery.

There's no complete listing on either the AAA website or their Twitter page but USA Today reported that the other three new Five Diamonds are The Ritz-Carlton, Palm Beach, InterContinental Buckhead Atlanta, and Four Seasons Hotel St. Louis.

Have you stayed at one of these Five Diamond hotels recently? Think they deserve the award? Let us know in comments below.

    hmm

    Montage Laguna is incredible... but BH Hotel and Four Seasons Westlake? BH Hotel is rundown, tired, and gross-- and has poor, snooty service. FS Westlake is a luxury hotel by the freeway. AAA 5-diamond is not a for-sure ratings game.

    no you didn't!

    you did not just slam the BH hotel like that. it is seriously my most fave hotel ever. i stayed in a room there two years ago and it was def. not run-down. it was totally overpriced though. and i've been to the FS Westlake. it's a nice hotel but who goes to Westlake??
