A New 400-room Hotel within Cap Cana, ..

You're hired!' Trump's new hotel chain
Donald Trump is on the move again. He (in partnership with children Ivanka, Donald Jr. and Eric) has just announced the Trump Hotel Collection, an offshoot of his Trump International Hotel & Tower in Manhattan.
Look for Trump hotels in Chicago (due in December) and Las Vegas (early 2008). More are due in locales from Dubai to Fort Lauderdale, Manhattan's SoHo to Waikiki and Cap Cana, Dominican Republic.
The hotels will be built from the ground up, have appointments including 500-thread-count sheets and promotional material promise the hotels will "raise the bar on the top-end travel experience with a style of customized service that is unmatched." (Doesn't every luxury hotel say that these days?) In Trump's case, that means concierge/butlers called "attaches" who work personally with guests.

Trump Announces International Strategy with New Hotel Collection

The world is Donald Trump's oyster, and he has found the pearl in the growing international hospitality market.
Trump, along with children Donald Jr., Ivanka and Eric, is one of the latest developers to announce a significant step into the international arena. Further globalizing the Trump name, the Trump Organization announced the creation of the luxury Trump Hotel Collection last night. The collection, which will be a distinct division of the Trump Organization, will focus on the top 1 to 5 percent of the traveling public and in locations in both established and emerging hospitality markets.
Trump International Hotel & Tower New York, the luxury condominium hotel in Manhattan's Columbus Circle and forerunner of the brand, will soon have company--the 339-room Trump International Hotel & Tower Chicago, due for a December delivery, and the 1,282-room Trump International Hotel & Tower Las Vegas, which will follow in 2009. Manhattan will also be home to the 400-suite Trump SoHo Hotel Condominium New York, slated for a Spring 2009 opening.
The Trump Hotel Collection, which will all be new construction, also has projects, some previously announced, underway in: Baja, Mexico (392 rooms, 2010); Cap Cana, Dominican Republic (400 rooms, 2010); Dubai, United Arab Emirates (310 rooms, 2010, pictured); Fort Lauderdale, Fla. (298 rooms, 2008); New Orleans (435 rooms, 2010); Panama City, Panama (369 rooms, 2010); Toronto (261 rooms, 2010); Aberdeen, Scotland (450 rooms, 2010); and Waikiki, Hawaii (463 rooms, 2008). Several of the developments have a residential and/or a condominium component. Each will have the Trump Attach? service and The Spa at Trump facilities.
"We find that travel is viewed as global entity today," Jim Petrus, COO of Trump International Hotels Management L.L.C. told CPN today. "People who travel in our segment of the market enjoy traveling to new destinations, and we've studied the (accessibility), amenities, infrastructure and global demand for each of the markets we're building in."
In many of the countries, such Panama and the Dominican Republic, the company is finding a niche in an emerging market lacking luxury product. "Trump has always been at the forefront of a movement, and this is why he is carrying forward (in these areas)," Petrus added.
Although the collection will be active in both the U.S. domestic and international markets, most of the focus will remain overseas. Petrus noted that many U.S. cities have a high barrier to entry in developing such product.
