Inside Chicago’s Trump International Hotel & Tower

Lenox Magee

Located in the heart of the city on Wabash Avenue, Trump International Hotel & Tower Chicago welcomed its first hotel guests back in January 2008. The hotel, the second tallest skyscraper in America, comprising floors 14-27 of a 92-story residential tower in development by the Trump Hotel Collection, features 339 luxuriously appointed guestrooms including one-, two- and three-bedroom suites – each with custom-designed furnishings and fully equipped kitchens in addition to 53 spa guestrooms, including The Spa at Trump. The 92-story building will also include 486 residences. Designed by the noted architectural firm of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, with interiors by McGinley Design, Trump is a stunning addition to Chicago’s distinguished skyline.

Not only does Trump change the way people think and feel about hotels, but it also provides an intimate and private ambiance with all the comforts of home. Upon arrival, guests are given the utmost attention, beginning with assistance from the hotel’s 24-hour, white-glove door attendants. Rooms feature custom-designed furnishings, flat-screen TVs on the walls and in the bathroom mirrors, and even the smallest rooms are 600 square feet, minimum. Materials for the interior -- including the stone used in both the bathrooms and the hotel lobby -- come from all over the world, all designed to give even the first guests a taste of luxury. The Contemporary custom furniture graces the living areas, and bedrooms include deluxe Stearns & Foster pillow-top mattresses and 500 thread-count linens from Bellino.

What truly stands out about this hotel is its extreme attention to detail. Fully-equipped kitchens feature Italian wood cabinetry by Snaidero and stainless steel appliances, including a microwave and a dishwasher and cook top by Miele. “We can come to your kitchen or kitchenette and prepare dinner or lunch for you in your room,” says Robert Prohaska, Director of Public Relations for the Trump International Hotel & Tower Chicago. The Sub-Zero refrigerators also serve as mini-bars. The limestone, five-fixture bathroom features custom vanities, separate stall showers, deep soaking tubs, in-mirror television portals and premium fixtures. Each room includes flat-screen LCD televisions that are HDTV-equipped, DVD players, a state-of-the-art stereo system and iPod adapters. Spacious guest quarters feature 10-foot floor-to-ceiling windows, offering views of Lake Michigan, the Chicago River and the city skyline.

Staying in tune with the hotel’s decade-old sibling in New York City, the hotel’s unparalleled amenities are highlighted by The Spa at Trump (including dedicated spa guestrooms), elegant conference and private event space, a full-service health club, sophisticated lounge and the hotel’s signature restaurant, Sixteen, under the helm of Chef Frank Brunacci. The hotel's Rebar Lounge and Trump Health Club, featuring a 75-foot heated swimming pool, are among the highlights.
