This new destination is Hollywood Glam with a twist, and a reinvention for Palm Springs. The hotel exudes iconic intimacy in each of its 400 luxuriously appointed guestrooms and suites. Twenty-four beautifully landscaped acres offer an array of recreational activities including sparkling pools, premier dining and award-winning SpaTerre.

Trump Hotel, Toronto, Canada

Grand Ballroom

Crowned by an articulated spire 900-feet above downtown Toronto's financial and entertainment district, luxurious accommodations and exclusive amenities unite along the city's unmistakable skyline.

The steel, stone and glass exterior of this $500 million, 65-story property was still getting finishing touches on the uppermost floors in late May, five months after it opened, but the building already cut a majestic figure in the Toronto skyline. The first of the Trump brand in Canada, the building — which is partly residential, with 118 condos on the upper floors — is actually owned by Talon International Inc., though the Trump Hotel Collection, led by Donald J. Trump and three of his children, operates the hotel. The lobby, full of rich champagne and black marble and dark wood with a massive Swarovski crystal sculpture on one wall, reflects the brand’s upscale intentions.
