A lobby that looks like a forest with large colorful ornaments hanging from the trees? A restaurant you can access through a tunnel of orange dangling marigold decorations, with a faux ancient Mexican statue at one end? Lush waterfalls and koi ponds? Check and check. Those are just a few of the reasons why Wynn Las Vegas ranks as the second most Instagrammable hotel in the world, according to a study by Amigo eSim.
Las Vegas is a city built on spectacle, so of course its hotels pose for the cameras very nicely. But The Wynn has extra game, according to the study, which evaluated the online presence of 136 of the world’s best-rated hotels. The hashtags most used by guests were counted on Instagram and TikTok in total up until July 22. Specifically, Wynn Las Vegas had 364,532 hashtagged posts on TikTok and Instagram (346,095 on Insta and 18,437 on TikTok), making it the most photographed hotel in the U.S., and the second in the world.
What beat it? The Jumeirah Burj Al Arab in Dubai, the gorgeous sail-shaped skyscraper hotel on the water with an underwater seafood restaurant with floor-to-ceiling windows.
The only other U.S. hotel on the list is one you may not have heard of: Blackberry Farm in Walland, Tennessee, which is the 11th most Instagrammable hotel in the world. It has 46,416 mentions on Instagram and TikTok. It’s a Relais & Châteaux resort tucked into the Great Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee.
The rest of the top 20 hotels list includes two each in Thailand, Morocco, Maldives, Hong Kong and France, one more in the U.A.E., and one each in England, Tanzania, Japan, Spain, St. Lucia and Ireland.
