The new design for The Trump International

Nakheel and The Trump Organization have adopted a new design for the planned Trump International Hotel and Tower, the centerpiece of The Palm Jumeirah, in Dubai recently.

The new design, a collaboration between The Trump Organization and Nakheel Hotels and Resorts, is destined to become a stunning landmark on the skyline of Dubai.
“The Trump International Hotel and Tower, The Palm Jumeirah is a 48-storey mixed-use condo hotel and residence comprising a 300-room condo hotel and 360 freehold residential apartments,” says Donald J Trump Jr. “The property will pioneer the condo-apartment hotel concept in the region, a concept that has been highly successful in our properties around the world.”
Trump says it will provide a unique opportunity to own an elegant and contemporary appointed hotel suite in the heart of The Palm Jumeirah, one of the world’s most exciting real estate developments and destinations.
“A condo-apartment serves as a convenient in-town pied-a-terre for those seeking a second or even third home, with the benefit of Trump’s superlative service,” he continues. “When not occupied, the client will have the ability to make their suite available through the hotel’s rental programme.”
Residents in the 360 freehold residential apartments will experience the same world-class amenities, services and facilities as hotel guests, including exclusive access to a private beach and yacht club with tennis courts, gymnasium and fitness centre, stylised pools and gardens. All guests will experience Trump’s renowned extraordinary service, with The Trump Touch concierge services providing a luxury unsurpassed in the region.
The property features an observatory viewing gallery and a number of five-star restaurants located at the apex of the building, which will offer unparalleled views of Dubai and the Arabian Gulf. A number of Sky Gardens – landscaped lobby areas – positioned on a number of floors throughout the property will provide further viewing points.
A Sky Lobby, suspended above the shallow, tranquil canal that flows up the centre of the trunk and the state-of-the-art monorail that traverses the length of the island, will create a grand sense of arrival, while lower floor retail will provide a natural progression of The Golden Mile, the exclusive residential and retail boulevard which lines the trunk’s west side.
The Trump Organization will have sales, marketing and management responsibility for the property, with Nakheel Hotels and Resorts responsible for development. Construction will commence in late 2006, with sales launching in 2007. It is expected that the property will be completed in 2009.
