On September 1st, the Trump Hotel and Tower Chicago will unveil 53 new spa guestrooms connected to the Spa at Trump to pamper guests in true over-the-top Trumplike fashion.
The rooms feature in-room treatments, a healthy minibar (does that mean no booze?), yoga kits, a whole menu of Bath Packages, and spa amenities and toiletries that evolve with the seasons.
As guests are led to the spa guest room by their Spa Attaché, who will customize the guest experience from start to finish, they will be enveloped by a custom spa scent in the corridor and soft music playing overhead. Upon entering their room, they will find inspiring city and riverfront views, gentle earth tones, light oak woods, fresh orchids, ambient candles and a music library.
Donald Trump launched his Trump Dubai tower last month in New York, complete with a lego-protoype of the building which will sit on the man-made Jumeirah Island in Dubai.
Over the weekend, he decided to introduce the property to Hollywood. And what better way to get publicity for his latest, most ambitious project which is being done in partnership with development company Nakheel? Have Christina Aguilera give a private performance and invite some of Hollywood's top A-listers to attend.
Yup. It's true. That's pretty much all your reading material here at Trump Las Vegas. In fact, there's not even an in-room compendium to browse through while killing time in the suite. It figures Trump would only promote Trump in his properties.
We're holed up here right now and while the full review will be forthcoming tomorrow, we'll let you know that despite the lack of in-room reading material, we're actually liking Trump's place.
The hotel does not have a casino or any sort of nightlife for that matter (aside from the DJT Steakhouse) but that's actually a welcome change for a frequent Vegas visitor like ourselves.
The suite we're in has a king bed, a kitchenette and two full bathrooms--one of which is the size of our living room.
So far, the only downsides are slow-ish service, $11.99 WiFi charge and being able to hear the sirens 44 floors below. What? Did The Donald not soundproof these gold-carat windows?
To hype up his latest project, the Trump International Hotel and Tower in Dubai, Donald Trump is having a little shindig at a private estate. In Los Angeles. Yup. Bet you're glad you didn't have to live another second of your life without that vital info.
And booked for the entertainment? According to E!, none other than Ms. Christina Aguilera. E also reports Pete Wentz is spinning tunes, but that's not confirmed.
This is just Christina's second performance since giving birth to her son. What a way to burst back onto the scene, Xtina...Hopefully, she'll leave the baby at home. Not sure the Donald really would know what to do with a baby.
In case you've forgotten what Trump Dubai is all about, here are some details. The Trump International Hotel & Tower Dubai will be built in partnership with the mega-development company, Nakheel, on the fake island Palm Jumeirah. It will have five-stars (only five?) 63 floors, 378 hotel rooms, 300 residences and a penthouse apartment that is for sale at a shocking $30 million dollars.
But that's like chump change to some Angelenos, like Candy Spelling.
We all know that Donald Trump's middle name is "Luxury", and that his first Las Vegas development - Trump International Hotel & Tower Las Vegas is like just over the top, but did you know about The Seventh Floor?
The Seventh Floor is where all the action is (Besides your room of course. We won't tell, it's Vegas after all) because that's where the spa, pool, restaurant and fitness center are all located.
We've heard all the bad things about Trump Soho before but it took us actually being in Soho and looking at the monstrous high-rise to realize just how truly awful this building is.
Aside from ruining the view from other Soho buildings and hotels (like 60 Thompson where this picture was shot), the Trump Soho is totally out of place down here--bringing a midtown feeling to Soho for which we will always hate Donald Trump for doing.
The condo-hotel is also like a bazillion stories high. We're not sure what you like when staying in a hotel but for us, riding an elevator 40+ stories into the sky is not something we look forward to.
That said, we have to admit: This place will probably have some killer views.
Since Donald Trump is an international kind of dude, we can't say we were particularly surprised to learn that there were some major conflicts a-brewing with the terms of the Trump International Hotel and Tower Dubai deal.
There was a bit of press saying that The Donald and the property's developer, Nakheel Hotels, were involved in a dispute over who will actually own the property (located on the big fake island Palm Jumeirah). And whether that's true or not, both camps wanted to lay some rumors to rest.
"The terms and conditions of the agreement are confidential although it is envisaged that upon completion, the hotel component of the building will be owned by Nakheel Hotels, with the Trump Organisation having an ongoing involvement in its management," [Nakheel CEO Chris] O'Donnell said.
Well, at least you can sleep a little bit easier knowing there is at least one more piece of the world that Trump doesn't own - although he will be owning one of the 399 units in the complex. Naturally.
Why not the penthouse, D? If anyone were going to cough up the dough for the estimated $30 million selling price (!), it would be you.
Every once in a while, NYTimes blog The Moment publishes a Q&A called On the QT to shed some light on the travel habits of the "world's savviest globetrotters."
We've seen a lot of obnoxious crap come out of that dude, but this one trumps (ha!) most of it.
Witness The Donald, in an extraordinary display of modesty, as he congratulates himself and demonstrates that he believes himself to be the best and only hotelier in the whole world:
Q: What is your favorite hotel?
A: Any hotel in the Trump Collection
Q: What is your favorite restaurant?
A: Jean Georges in the Trump International Hotel & Tower.
Don't you worry, there's more where that came from.
