HOTELS Trump International Hotel & Tower Chicago Since opening in January, the glassy 92-story Trump International Hotel & Tower Chicago (www.trumpchicagohotel.com) on North Wabash Avenue ranks as Chicago’s second-tallest building (right behind the Sears Tower) and has taken its rightful place among the Windy City’s iconic skyscrapers. A true family effort, Mr. Trump’s three eldest children (Donald Jr., Ivanka and Eric) were front and center when it came to the planning and designing (right down to the uniforms) of what is the Trump Organization’s biggest project to date. Under the guiding expertise of General Manager Colm O’Callaghan (cocallaghan@ trumporg.com; 312-588-8800), the 339 guest rooms are on floors 14 through 27 (residential condominiums begin on 29). A mix of studios and one- and twobedroom suites ranging from about 600 to 3,854 square feet, with unobstructed views through floor-to-ceiling windows, the inventory also includes 53 Spa Studios. Built on the original site of the Chicago Sun-Times, at the juncture of the Loop and North Michigan Avenue along the Chicago River, clients will be steps from Michigan Avenue’s best shops, the Loop and Navy Pier. With the exception of the Spa Studios, all accommodations sport fully equipped kitchens and dining room tables (read: in-room chefs), flat-screen TVs embedded in bathroom mirrors, free Internet access and, believe it or not, a Water Library selling a myriad of bottled water choices, including Bling H2O with a Swarovski crystal-covered label that goes for $25 a pop. On request, Amazon’s hand-held e-book reader, Kindle, will soon be available for those looking to dive into a good novel or favorite magazine—or simply for checking out the latest news. Note: All the suites have fireplaces. Better yet, all the oversized accommodations come with Trump’s highly touted Personal Attaché service catering to a client’s needs any time of day, be it a hard-toget reservation or a local tailor to hem a just-bought frock in no time flat. Consider these attachés the go-to contact for booking luxury ground service, private museum viewings or the best seats at Wrigley Field.
