Trump Hollywood officially opened its doors on Friday with all the
fanfare that usually accompanies a grand opening bearing the Donald’s
surname. Developed by the Related Group, the $355 million, 40-story luxury tower
faces the Atlantic Ocean with a glass facade, beachfront pool deck,
library, private dining room, club room, screening room and a list of
other amenities. Related Group CEO Jorge Perez and Donald Trump Jr. were on hand to
host a luncheon and tour of the property, which includes a 4,000-square-foot spa and fitness center, yoga studio and treatment rooms, a wine
cellar, cigar room and sunrise bistro. It was not an event that reflected tough times. The grand lobby was the
site of a five-star meal. After lunch, guests were treated to
mini-massages and antioxidant shots in the spa before heading to the
wine cellar for a tasting. The tour ended with a preview of the
3,000-square-foot, $2.4 million model residence. [more]
