Wyndham Hotels & Resorts is set to expand its upscale and lifestyle offerings through a new multihotel deal with the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma. The agreement brings four Choctaw Casino & Resorts properties with 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 Trademark Collection by Wyndham brand, with the Choctaw Nation retaining ownership and management of all four resorts.
“This aspirational affiliation represents everything today’s travelers are asking for—exciting destinations, distinctive experiences and more meaningful ways to connect with the places they love,” Geoff Ballotti, president and CEO of Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, said in a statement. “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.”
“Our agreement with Wyndham Hotels & Resorts represents a meaningful expansion of what the Choctaw brand delivers to our guests and our people,” said Gary Batton, chief of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma. “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 honors our values while positioning Choctaw for continued growth on a global stage.”
The Flagship
Located 90 minutes north of Dallas, Choctaw Casino & Resort–Durant, a Wyndham Grand, has more than 1,600 rooms and suites across multiple hotel towers. The gaming floor has more than 7,400 slot machines, 100 table games and a poker room. Public spaces include a 3,000-seat entertainment venue; more than 40 restaurants, bars and lounges; and six retail shops.
Outdoor and wellness venues include a spa and several pools, including the adults-only Oasis and Aqua, a three-acre, palm-tree-shaded playground with private cabanas, outdoor bars, waterslides and a splashpad. The District includes 20 bowling lanes, classic arcade games and a six-screen cinema. The resort also has 100,000 square feet of state-of-the art conference and event space.
Gaming Appeal
According to 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 $43.9 billion in revenue nationwide, with Oklahoma ranking among one of the fastest-growing markets.
In addition to the Durant flagship, Choctaw’s three additional resort properties will join Trademark Collection by Wyndham, including Choctaw Landing Casino & Resort - Hochatown, Choctaw Casino & Resort–Pocola and Choctaw Casino & Resort–Grant.
