Casino giant Wynn Resorts has named former Marriott Hotels and Resorts executive Thomas Schoen as President of its US$3.9 billion Wynn Al Marjan Island integrated resort, which is due to open in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in early 2027.

Schoen, who has also spent several years with Marriott’s Starwood Hotels and Resorts, will oversee all operational aspects of Wynn Al Marjan Island, the company said in a Monday release.

“Wynn Al Marjan Island is an exciting project for Wynn Resorts,” said Craig Billings, CEO of Wynn Resorts. “We’re delighted to welcome Thomas to lead our operating team at this new venture. In his role, he will lead the delivery of the exceptional Wynn guest service for which we are so well known. Thomas’ passion for hospitality and extensive experience will be an important part of the success of Wynn Al Marjan Island.”

Thomas Schoen

Schoen’s time with Marriott included working across key brands including Sheraton, Westin, Le Meridien, St Regis, W Hotels and Hyatt. Most recently he held the position of Complex General Manager, Pine Cliffs Resort – Luxury Collection in Portugal, overseeing a program of extensive renovations and construction to complete the masterplan for the resort, managing the pre-opening and launch and positioning the resort as the number one resort destination in Europe, according to Wynn.

“I am delighted to lead the operations of Wynn Al Marjan Island and feel privileged to be part of such a significant new chapter for the group,” Schoen said.

“The iconic destination will not only mark a new one-of-a-kind guest experience in the Emirates but will further establish the brand across the globe. I look forward to embarking on this exciting journey.”

To be developed alongside local partners Marjan LLC and RAK Hospitality Holding LLC, Wynn Al Marjan Island will rise more than 1,000 feet (305 meters) above the sea and offer around 1,500 rooms, suites and villas, the UAE’s first casino, 24 dining and lounge experiences, innovative spa and wellness experiences, a high-end shopping esplanade, a state-of-the-art events center, a theater hosting a unique production show, and more.
