Trump International Hotel & Tower

Frommer's Review

From the outside, it's the prototypical, not very attractive Trump creation -- a tall, dark monolith, hovering over Columbus Circle and lower Central Park. But go inside and spend a night or two at the Trump International, experience services such as your own Trump Attaché, a personal concierge who will provide comprehensive services (your wish is their command); take advantage of such first-class facilities as the 6,000-square-foot health club with lap pool and a full-service spa; or order room service from the hotel's signature restaurant, the four-star Jean-Georges. Not only will you dispel any prejudices you might have had toward The Donald, you might even begin to comprehend why someone would be willing to sell their soul for the chance to become the master builder's apprentice.

Guest rooms are surprisingly understated, with high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows, some with incredible views of Central Park and all with telescopes for taking in the view, and marble bathrooms with Jacuzzi tubs. But if that's not enough -- it certainly was for me -- you also get two complimentary bottles of Trump water, complete with a picture of The Donald on each one. For a hotel this well run, you can forgive the man for his excesses.
