Rates and Availability Can Be Found at
The much anticipated Trump International Hotel(TM) Waikiki Beach Walk(R), slated to open in early
November, has launched its reservations system and is now accepting bookings starting Nov. 16, 2009 at
introductory rates for the hotel's 462 hotel rooms and suites start at $255/night for spacious studio
accommodations and range to $8,000 for a spectacular Penthouse Suite. Situated steps away from the
beach in the most coveted location in Waikiki, Trump International Hotel Waikiki Beach Walk is a major new
building development for Oahu, ushering in a new era for fabled Waikiki and elevating Hawaii's resort
lifestyle to an unprecedented level of luxury.
At 38 stories, Trump International Hotel Waikiki Beach Walk has been
designed to dazzle guests with unrivaled views of iconic Diamond Head, the
vibrant Honolulu skyline and the majestic Pacific Ocean. The landmark tower,
urbane and sophisticated, seamlessly blends indoors and outdoors,
incorporating traditional Hawaiian building techniques that respect local
climate and environmental considerations, taking advantage of prevailing
winds and natural cooling.
Behind the hotel's modern facade, guests will discover the next
generation of luxury hospitality rendered uniquely Hawaiian. At every
opportunity, native plants have been brought into the hotel to create lush
indoor public spaces. The ground floor lobby showcases the elegance of nature
including polished Egyptian marble, exquisite honey-colored Onyx and Koa
wood. Discreet lighting is accented with glass that emits and refracts light
to represent the dynamism of the ocean. The hotel's sixth-floor lobby opens
to a stunning view overlooking Fort DeRussy Park and the Pacific Ocean.
Gracing the hotel lobby are custom wood panels and commissioned hand-painted
Hawaiian murals and paintings.
Guest accommodations provide a keen sense of place - drawn from a rich
palette of Hawaiian influences, from early history to the 20th Century.
Recalling elements of Tropical Deco style, furnishings are set in an
environment complemented by rich Koa wood and sumptuous granite and marble
stone finishes. Accommodations encompass close to one dozen room and suite
categories providing options for couples, families and multi-generational
travelers to choose from based on whether they are staying for a few days or
several weeks. Spacious studios are ideal for individuals and couples, while
one-, two- and three-bedroom suites, available with or without dens, can
connect to adjoining units for larger parties. Penthouse accommodations offer
the piece de resistance of elegance. All units are exquisitely designed for
comfort, functionality and visual appeal, and many feature full kitchens
replete with Bosch, Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, where guests will have the
choice to ask a hotel chef to prepare a meal in the privacy of the suite.
Highlighting the hotel's myriad services and amenities are Laurent
Tourondel's BLT Steak, his first restaurant in this region. The Lobby Bar
will feature a commissioned mural - a sunrise-to-sunset rainforest vignette
inspired by murals in the great hotel and ocean liner bars of the 1930s.
Here, stylishly dressed guests may sip martinis and island coolers in the
sensual, romantic and authentic aura of Waikiki's Golden Era. An outdoor cafe
will offer open-air dining throughout the day. The Spa at Trump(R) will bring
signature and island-inspired services and treatments to Hawaii. And the
Trump Attache(TM) will offer a proactive approach to personalized service,
including a Beach Attache to attend to guests' needs while partaking in
oceanfront activities. A waterwall and infinity plunge pool, as well as a
state-of-the-art fitness center will appeal to the active. A cozy library
will offer respite for seekers of quiet relaxation.
Trump International Hotel Waikiki Beach Walk will offer a Hawaiian
"cultural embrace" program - the opportunity to learn about and appreciate
the uniqueness of the Hawaiian experience. Trump Kids, including a Baby
Attache, will address the wants and needs of younger guests. And everyone
will enjoy the hotel's Waikiki Beach Walk location which is the new center of
dining, entertainment and shopping in Honolulu.
