| Meta Description | The hotel lost more than $70 million during former President Trump's term but was a mainstay for lobbyists. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Meta Canonical | null | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Boilerpipe Text | The Trump International Hotel is officially closed after the Trump Organization reached a $375 million agreement to sell the D.C. property to a Miami investor group.
The latest:
Hours after the former President Trump's family business had completed the sale, half a dozen workers moved to dismantle signs from the facade of the building on Wednesday night.
Why it matters:
The hotel
lost more than $70 million
during former President Trump's term but
was a mainstay for lobbyists
and later
became the center of ethics scandals
.
Housed in a building leased from the federal government, the hotel
will be relaunched
as part of the Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts brand.
The Trump Organization had initially
sought a $500 million deal
in 2019.
What they're saying:
"We took a dilapidated and underutilized government building and transformed it into one of the most iconic hotels in the world. We are incredibly proud of what we accomplished," said Eric Trump, the former president's son and Trump Organization executive vice president,
in a statement
per NBC News.
Worth noting:
"Hotel industry executives have said the hotel underperformed compared with other luxury hotels in the city ... in part because some companies and travelers were reluctant to book rooms or hold events at the hotel given the controversies surrounding Mr. Trump,"
the New York Times writes
.
The big picture:
The Waldorf Astoria Washington, D.C. is expected to open by early summer, the investor group said.
