ONEIDA, NY – Forbes Travel Guide has awarded Turning Stone Resort Casino with four of its Four-Star Awards for 2024. The Lodge, Skʌ:nʌ́: Spa, TS Steakhouse and Wildflowers were each recognized for exceptional amenities, unparalleled experience and personalized guest service, distinguishing Turning Stone as the only resort in New York to earn four Forbes Four-Star Awards. TS Steakhouse and Wildflowers are the only restaurants in New York outside of New York City to earn a Five- or Four-Star Award from Forbes Travel Guide.
A key contributor to earning this year’s Forbes Travel Guide Star Awards is the significant investments Turning Stone is making to evolve the guest experience. The Lodge recently revealed a total transformation of its 95 guest rooms, bringing a sophisticated, timeless design. The renovated guest rooms are in addition to recent investments made at The Lodge, including The Lodge Lounge and The Lodge Boardroom.

With only 600 hotels, 121 restaurants and 201 spas in the world to achieve a Forbes Four-Star Award, Turning Stone continues to be distinguished as one of the most prestigious properties in the world.
