Trump International Hotel & Tower, Chicago, Illinois - Best Hotels in the USA

In a city famous for its architecture, the Trump International Hotel & Tower, Chicago has managed to distract many a visitor from the Windy City's more famous buildings. But while many guests rave about the hotel's stunning design, Vice President and Managing Director Colm O'Callaghan claims that it's the personnel's attention to guests' needs that makes a stay here truly wonderful.

The Trump International Hotel and Tower, also known as Trump Tower Chicago and locally as the Trump Tower, is a skyscraper condo-hotel in downtown Chicago, Illinois. The building, named after real estate developer Donald Trump, was designed by architect Adrian Smith of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill. Bovis Lend Lease built the 98-story structure, which reached a height of 1,389 feet (423 m) including its spire, its roof topping out at 1,170 feet (360 m).

It is adjacent to the main branch of the Chicago River, with a view of the entry to Lake Michigan beyond a series of bridges over the river. The building received publicity when the winner of the first season of The Apprentice television show, Bill Rancic, chose to manage the construction of the tower.
