Trump International Hotel and Tower (Dubai)


he Trump International Hotel & Tower is a proposed skyscraper hotel at the trunk of the Palm Jumeirah in Dubai. It is a joint venture between the Trump Organization and Dubai-based Nakheel, a government-owned company, and was announced on October 5, 2005. The 62 story hotel and residential building has an estimated cost of U.S. $600 million.[1] The hotel is expected to be a 300-room, five-star hotel. Construction work was suspended in November 2008 due to the effects of the global credit crunch. [1]
The original design featured a circular tower surrounded by four golden petals attached to the sides.[2] However, this was rejected by Nakheel who later unveiled a new design which features a split linked tower with an innovative open core design that minimizes shadows. The tower will be constructed of stainless steel, glass and stone. Proposed amenities include exclusive access to a private beach and yacht club with tennis courts, gymnasium and fitness centre, stylized pools and gardens.
