Crockfords at Resorts World Genting (RWG) is on a roll — and they’re not slowing down anytime soon. Malaysia’s most luxurious hidden gem has just again clinched the prestigious Forbes Travel Guide (FTG) 5‑Star rating for 2026, marking its eighth consecutive win since 2019. Yup, you read that right. Eight. Years. Straight.
Even more impressive? Crockfords is the ONLY hotel in Malaysia to receive the FTG 5-Star accolade this year, cementing its status as one of the world’s most elite stays.

A World-Class Winning Streak
In the global luxury hospitality scene, Forbes Travel Guide stars are basically the Oscars — reserved only for the best of the best. To maintain a 5-star ranking requires world‑class service, meticulous attention to detail, and hospitality so polished it practically sparkles.
And Crockfords delivered. Again.
But the winning doesn’t stop there:
- Genting Grand continues its remarkable run as a Forbes Travel Guide 4‑Star Luxury Property for nine years (2018–2026).
- Highlands Hotel also shines bright, maintaining its streak as a Forbes Recommended Property, also for nine consecutive years.
That’s three major Forbes wins under one resort. Flex much, RWG? 😎
