Luxury Chicago Trump Tower Hotel with Condos - Review

The Trump International Hotel and Tower, also known as Trump Tower or sometimes the Chicago Towers Hotel, is not only a 5-star luxury hotel in downtown Chicago, it also has both hotel and residential condo apartments available too. On top of which it is a Chicago tourist attraction in its own right. It is the second-highest building in the city, after the Willis Tower (formerly the Sears Tower), and is also the second-tallest building in the USA.


The Trump Style at the Chicago Towers

First-time guests at the Trump International may be very surprised at the hotel's 5-star style. Anyone anticipating the flashy bling more associated with, say, Ivana Trump, will be astonished to see the more under-stated approach of the next generation. Ivana's daughter Ivanka Trump has been very involved with the Chicago Trump Tower and the result is an astonishingly tasteful low-key luxury: sumptuous but subtle.

Wine and Dine in this Downtown Location

The Trump International is just north of the Chicago River, and two blocks west of the main Magnificent Mile shopping street of Chicago, on Michigan Avenue. Both its bar, just above the lobby, and its Sixteen Restaurant have impressive views, especially at night-time. The Sixteen Restaurant provides diners with views of both the Wrigley Clock Tower and the Chicago Tribune Building through its 30ft floor-to-ceiling windows. The menu is international and dishes such as halibut on a bed of truffle-bacon risotto show that the kitchen under Australian-born chef Frank Brunacci is out to impress.




The Spa at Trump

The luxury spa on the 14th-floor of the Trump International Hotel is unusual in many respects. It is naturally a part of the hotel and available for all guests to use, but it also has 53 of its own private spa guest rooms, so it also becomes a separate spa resort. The decor in the spa guest rooms is more relaxing than in the main hotel rooms, with extra facilities such as a yoga mat and block, weights, a healthier mini-bar with fruit juices, lots of relaxing candles, a desk that converts into a make-up station, and neck and eye pillows which are heated for guests during the turndown service.

The spa itself is the largest in Chicago and has a 75ft heated indoor pool with floor to ceiling windows, a fitness center with stunning Chicago River views, 11 spa treatment rooms, personal trainers, and naturally a full range of massages, facials, manicures and pedicures, and other relaxation treatments.

Trump Tower Condo Apartments

Chicago's Trump International not only provides luxury 5-star hotel accommodation, it also offers guests the chance to buy their own hotel or private residential condo. These luxurious suites basically provide apartments with all the facilities of a 5-star luxury hotel, including access to the spa, the funky bar, and the Sixteen restaurant. The condos have their own private entrance but with full entry to the hotel's amenities.

Chicago Luxury Downtown Hotel

The Trump Tower Hotel isn't cheap, but special offers and late-booking deals mean that it can be surprisingly inexpensive, given the 5-star facilities on offer. And for a vacation treat, it would be hard to beat.
