USA | Wyndham has expanded its upscale and lifestyle offerings with Choctaw Casinos and Resorts in Oklahoma.
Wyndham Hotels & Resorts has unveiled an expansion of its upscale and lifestyle offerings through a new multi-hotel deal with the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma. The agreement brings four Choctaw Casino & Resorts properties, representing nearly 2,000 rooms, into the Wyndham portfolio. Led by Choctaw's flagship resort, Choctaw Casino & Resort–Durant, now part of the Wyndham Grand portfolio, three additional properties join Wyndham's globally recognised Trademark Collection by Wyndham brand, with the Choctaw Nation retaining ownership and management of all four resorts.
The deal comes as regional gaming destinations continue surging in popularity with travellers nationwide. According to the latest research from the American Gaming Association, more than half of Americans participated in some form of gaming in 2024. That same year, tribal gaming generated a record USD 43.9 billion in revenue nationwide, with Oklahoma ranking among one of the fastest-growing markets.
"This aspirational affiliation represents everything today's travellers are asking for, exciting destinations, distinctive experiences, and more meaningful ways to connect with the places they love. By welcoming Choctaw's remarkable casinos and resorts to Wyndham, we're expanding what our brands and our Wyndham Rewards program can offer, giving more than 120 million enrolled members access to a powerful new collection of entertainment-driven getaways across one of the country's fastest-growing gaming markets," said Geoff Ballotti, President and CEO, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts.
"Our agreement with Wyndham Hotels & Resorts represents a meaningful expansion of what the Choctaw brand delivers to our guests and our people. For our customers, it elevates the hospitality experience by combining Choctaw's signature service, culture, and entertainment with the global recognition, loyalty benefits, and travel network of one of the world's largest and most respected hotel companies. For Choctaw tribal members, it strengthens long-term economic sustainability, creating new career pathways, professional development opportunities, and reinvestment into tribal programs and communities. It is a strategic step that honours our values while positioning Choctaw for continued growth on a global stage," said Chief Gary Batton, Chief of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma.
Located just 90 minutes north of Dallas, Choctaw Casino & Resort–Durant, a Wyndham Grand, delivers a high-energy escape where world-class entertainment meets laid-back resort living.
