About Trump International Hotel and Tower (Chicago) in brief
The Trump International Hotel and Tower is a skyscraper condo-hotel in downtown Chicago, Illinois. The building, named for businessman and U.S. president Donald Trump, was designed by architect Adrian Smith of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill. Bovis Lend Lease built the 98-story structure, which reaches a height of 1,388 feet including its spire, its roof topping out at 1,171 feet. It is next 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. Trump announced in 2001 that the skyscraper would become the tallest building in the world, but after the September 11 attacks that same year, the architects scaled back the building’s plans. The 339-room hotel opened for business with limited accommodations and services on January 30, 2008, then full accommodation and services on April 28. The tower sits at 401 North Wabash Avenue in the River North Gallery District, part of the Near North Side community area of Chicago. It surpassed the city’s John Hancock Center as the building with the highest residence in the World, and briefly held this title until the completion of the Burj Khalifa. The body of the building is raised 30 feet above the main WabASH entrance and 70 feet above the Chicago river’s entrance. It has 339 rooms, a retail space from the ground up, a parking garage, a hotel and condominiums.
