Wyndham Hotels & Resorts has reached a deal with the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma to add four resorts to its upscale and lifestyle offerings.
Under the agreement, four Choctaw Casinos & Resorts properties with nearly 2,000 rooms will join Wyndham’s portfolio, according to a news release. The Choctaw Casino & Resort-Durant is now part of the Wyndham Grand portfolio. The Choctaw Landing Casino & Resort-Hochatown, the Choctaw Casino & Resort–Pocola and the Choctaw Casino & Resort–Grant join the Trademark Collection by Wyndham.
The Choctaw Nation will retain ownership and continue to manage 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,” Wyndham President and CEO Geoff Ballotti said in the release.
The agreement with Wyndham will elevate the hospitality experience for guests by combining Choctaw’s signature service, culture and entertainment with Wyndham’s global recognition, loyalty program and travel network, said Chief Gary Batton, Chief of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, in the release.
“For Choctaw tribal members, it strengthens long-term economic sustainability — creating new career pathways, professional development opportunities and reinvestment into tribal programs and communities,” Batton said. “It is a strategic step that honors our values while positioning Choctaw for continued growth on a global stage."
The four Choctaw resorts will become available through Wyndham’s booking channels over the next several weeks, and they will also be available to members of Wyndham Business.
During Wyndham’s third-quarter 2025 earnings call, Ballotti said that even with the challenging demand conditions, the company wasn’t seeing any structural concerns for its hotels at the lower end of the chain scale, touting its booking lead times, consistent lengths of stay and improved cancellation rates. The advantage higher-end hotels have in the current environment is their ability to hold on to more pricing power, he said.
"Upscale hotels are able to price more aggressively to inflation than the lower chain scales where the guest is obviously more price-sensitive," he said.
