CHICAGO, Ill. (July 26, 2007) – Trump International Hotel & Tower Chicago, located in the heart of the city on Wabash Ave., astride the fabled Chicago River, will welcome its first hotel guests in December 2007. The hotel, comprising floors 14-27 of a 92-story residential tower in development by the Trump Organization, features 339 luxuriously appointed guestrooms – including one-, two- and three-bedroom suites. Designed by the noted architectural firm of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill with interiors by McGinley Design, Trump International Hotel & Tower promises to be a stunning addition to Chicago’s distinguished skyline.

In tune with the hotel’s eponymous decade-old sibling located at One Central Park West in New York City, the Chicago hotel will feature top-of-the-line appointments, unrivaled service and the very special personal attention provided by the Trump Attaché. 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 a restaurant that will rival the best Chicago has to offer.

Embodying the vision of Donald Trump and his three grown children – Donald Trump, Jr., Ivanka Trump and Eric Trump – Trump International Hotel & Tower Chicago represents a new generation of style and luxury in worldwide hospitality.

“We envision Trump International Hotel & Tower to become the number one choice among savvy travelers to Chicago as well as local residents and event organizers,” said Vice President and Managing Director Colm O’Callaghan. “The hotel’s remarkable views will thrill our guests, punctuating the quality and level of furnishings, appointments, amenities and service provided.
