After you volunteer your time to a family in Nepal, consider saving up for a few nights at The Donald's new digs. Sure, you'll have to wait a year or two, but you gotta love Trump. Aside from Dubai's crane-loving Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, who else is going to keep impeccable service and high-rise luxury alive and well?
The Donald tells like it is and, let's face it,
He towers.
Ten years after he unveiled his luxury condominium hotel at Manhattan’s Columbus Circle, the renowned developer and three children – Donald Jr., Ivanka and Eric (um... how come we've never seen Eric?) – are taking the Trump concept worldwide. Trump Hotel Collection is said to be the next generation of luxury hospitality – one that promises to raise the bar on the top-end travel experience with a style of customized service. 'Trump Attache', a brand-wide personalization program dedicates an entire department to delivering individualized service to every hotel guest upon request. Going beyond concierge/butler service, the Attaché meticulously records individual preferences and maintains a detailed guest history to ensure that no stay feels like the first and no request needs repeating. Arranging everything for an in-room chef or personal trainer to stocking kitchens with favorite groceries, printing personalized business cards and stationery, shopping for gifts, arranging special in-suite appointments for children, and meeting transportation needs from limousines to private jets, Trump Attache sounds like the fanciest service around.
Soon to be slated:
Trump Chicago (December 2007)
Trump Vegas (Early 2008)
Trump SoHo (Spring 2009)
New Orleans (2010)
Dubai, UAE
Baja, Mexico
Cap Cana Dominican Republic
Waikiki, Hawaii
Panama
Scotland
First and foremost, Jaunt Magazine says, 'Way to invest in the Big Easy!' Meanwhile, Donald says, “Each hotel will be distinguished by outstanding architecture created by some of the finest architects in the world and complemented by the highest level of personalized service. These are great hotels in established and emerging destinations, and we are very proud to launch them around the world."
And you know what? By the looks of these CGI drawings, we don't doubt that Round Two of The Great Trump Lineage just might live up to Round One.
If anything, at least his snappy offspring will have a free place to stay.
