- Wynn Resorts earned 18 Forbes Five-Star ratings, holding the longest-running Forbes Five-Star distinction among independent hotel companies.
- Wynn Tower Suites achieved its 20th consecutive Forbes Five-Star rating—the longest-held Forbes Five-Star hotel recognition in Las Vegas.
- Wynn Palace hosts four Forbes Five-Star restaurants, helping Wynn retain the most Five-Star restaurants worldwide for seven years.
Forbes recognition underscores Wynn's luxury service model
Wynn Resorts again receives top honors in the 2026 Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star Awards, earning 18 Five-Star ratings across its resort portfolio and reinforcing its position as the independent hotel company with the longest-running Forbes Five-Star distinction. Wynn Tower Suites at Wynn Las Vegas celebrates its 20th consecutive Five-Star rating, the longest-held Forbes Five-Star hotel recognition in Las Vegas, a milestone CEO Craig S. Billings attributes to his teams’ precision and sustained commitment to guest experience.
Wynn’s Five-Star achievement and what drives it
Wynn Resorts’ latest awards highlight a company-wide emphasis on personalised service, high-end amenities and culinary excellence. Wynn Palace retains its position for the third consecutive year as the world’s largest Forbes Five-Star resort and, together with Wynn Macau, the two properties account for a combined 63 Forbes stars in Macau — the most of any resorts there. Executives frame this concentration of accolades as evidence of consistent operational standards across international properties.
Culinary and design recognition cements brand leadership
Wynn Palace secures four Five-Star restaurant designations — Mizumi, Chef Tam's Seasons, SW Steakhouse and Sushi Mizumi — maintaining for seven consecutive years the distinction of having the most Five-Star restaurants worldwide. The awards span hotels, spas and dining establishments, underscoring the group’s integrated approach where guest rooms, wellness and food-and-beverage offerings work together to create repeat recognition.
Encore Boston Harbor and Las Vegas scale support recognition
Encore Boston Harbor continues to stand out as North America’s largest regional resort destination to receive Five-Star recognition, a designation Wynn uses to underline its reach beyond Las Vegas and Macau. In Las Vegas, Wynn and Encore together comprise two luxury hotel towers with 4,748 rooms, suites and villas, 22 signature dining experiences, 10 bars, two award-winning spas, meeting and convention space, three shopping esplanades and two showrooms — assets the company cites as core to delivering the standards that Forbes assesses.
Growth plans and market positioning
Wynn also stresses expansion as part of its strategy, operating Wynn Las Vegas, Wynn Macau, Wynn Palace, Wynn Mayfair and Encore Boston Harbor while building an integrated resort in Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates, slated to open in 2027. The company presents the Forbes recognition as both a measure of service excellence and a credential to support growth into new luxury resort markets.
