FIREKEEPERS CASINO HOTEL EARNS AAA FOUR DIAMOND STATUS FOR 11TH CONSECUTIVE YEAR

(Battle Creek, Mich.) June 23, 2025 — FireKeepers Casino Hotel is proud to announce it has once again earned the coveted AAA Four Diamond designation for its hotel — marking an exceptional 11 consecutive years of excellence in upscale hospitality. This elite distinction places FireKeepers among an exclusive group of hotels recognized for consistently delivering superior service, luxurious accommodations, and elevated guest experiences.

The Four Diamond Award from AAA is presented to establishments that pass rigorous inspections and meet the organization's high standards for cleanliness, comfort, and quality. Only 6.5% of the nearly 27,000 AAA Inspected & Approved hotels receive the Four Diamond designation.

“We are incredibly proud to retain our Four Diamond rating for the 11th straight year,” said Frank Tecumseh, CEO at FireKeepers Casino Hotel. “This continued recognition reflects the dedication of our team to deliver outstanding guest service and exceptional accommodations year after year.”

In 2025, the property is completing a full renovation of its original hotel tower — Tower 1 — enhancing every guest room to reflect the same modern luxury found in Tower 2, which opened in 2021. The upgrades include contemporary furnishings, elevated finishes, and refined design touches that align with Four Diamond standards and guest expectations for style and comfort.

From its spacious 446 guest rooms and suites to personalized guest services and amenities, FireKeepers remains a destination for travelers seeking comfort, quality, and exceptional value — whether visiting for gaming, entertainment, events, or relaxation.

FireKeepers also holds a distinguished place in the fine dining world with its signature restaurant, Nibi, which has previously been honored with the AAA Four Diamond rating — a rare and prestigious recognition reserved for restaurants that demonstrate the highest levels of creativity, service, and culinary excellence. Nibi has also been recognized by Wine Spectator with its Award of Excellence, further affirming its reputation as one of the region’s premier culinary destinations. This honor celebrates restaurants with thoughtfully curated wine lists that complement their menus and appeal to a broad range of wine lovers.

Led by Head Chef Mason Rice, Nibi delivers a standout culinary experience driven by creativity, quality ingredients, and genuine passion. “We aim to create dishes that are thoughtful, bold, and memorable,” said Chef Rice. “It’s about using great ingredients and fresh ideas to give our guests a meal they’ll truly enjoy — and want to come back for.”

The dual distinction of both hotel and restaurant achieving Four Diamond status underscores FireKeepers’ broader mission to provide excellence in every corner of the guest experience — from luxurious accommodations to world-class dining.
