A Birmingham hotel and restaurant were named among AAA's four-diamond lodgings and restaurants for 2012, according to a list released Friday.
The Townsend Hotel and the Rugby Grille join 12 other Michigan hotels and five restaurants in receiving the automotive association's second-highest rating this year.
No Michigan establishments received a five-diamond ranking for 2012.
The Townsend has been a AAA four-diamond hotel since 1988, while the Rugby Grille has maintained its elite status since 2001.
AAA's diamond rating system uses trained inspectors to evaluate lodgings and restaurants. Cleanliness, comfort and security of lodgings are rated during an unannounced inspection. Only 4.8 percent of the 31,000 lodgings approved by the AAA make the four-diamond list, while only 2.7 percent of AAA's 28,000 restaurants make the cut.
