In news that I don't recall seeing in this thread but likely surprises no one paying even a modicum of attention the lease for the building Trump International Hotel Washington (DC) currently occupies has been sold to a firm intending to rebrand the property as a Waldorf Astoria, in a deal that officially closed. Expected opening is "early summer" but no property page I can find on WA.com/Hilton.com yet

CGI Merchant Group, LLC (CGI yesterday announced its acquisition of the lease to the historic Old Post Office building in Washington, D.C. Located at 1100 Pennsylvania Avenue, the iconic property opened in 1899 as Washington, D.C.’s main post office, later converted to a federal office building and more recently became a hotel. CGI, in partnership with Hilton, plans to relaunch the property as part of the iconic Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts brand.


What's also interesting is that the article also mentions "All properties purchased and/or developed through the H Fund will be labeled as part of CGI’s Conscious Certified Hotels (CCH) and housed within Hilton’s portfolio..."
