I got an email from Trump hotels and like it or not, Donald Trump is moving in to Pennsylvania avenue in D.C.

We're proud to announce the soft opening of Trump International Hotel Washington, D.C.

Politics aside, it looks like it will be a great hotel with an excellent location.

No matter what - a place where I will never stay. Enough said.

few trump hotels are owned by trump, DC is
228 rooms and 35 suites
DC doesnt have huge luxury hotel supply, and clearly theres lots of business and leisure in DC
most luxury in georgetown/west end and MO's area, only hay adams and jefferson 'historical'

Echo all the other posters. Regardless of Trump-owned or not, his brand is toxic to me.

Agree. But beside this Iīm not really sure how I like it. On one hand beautiful building, on the other hand very special style. Would be interesting how many people would choose it as it belongs to MO, FS or another brand and is owned by some "normal" investor.

Yeah I don't give a darn about pointless populist politics. I like to stay in nice hotels. And I don't need to try and prove to other people that I'm a hero because I stand against one candidate or another. Some people are far too caught up in this nonsense. This looks like a beautiful and historic American hotel and I look forward to trying it out someday. It doesn't matter whose name is on the door.

I would mostly go there for the views of the city, but that was when it was a shopping center more than anything else.

It's really easy to veer into politics on this one, even I am tempted. I view a simple statement saying, "I won't stay here" as OK and so far I judge the responses as just about hitting the line but not yet obviously over it. If everyone can avoid taking the next step, we mods won't have to step in.

it is odd NY developer (not trump) did not do better bathrooms even in 2BRs, but i guess they were focused on the tower residences (not in hotel inventory) - i wonder if any units on hotel floors were redone by unit owner, and rented privately.
chicago also opened (jan 2008) with great hard product, the best corner suites fairly dramatic
