WASHINGTON, DC—Trump International Hotel Washington, D.C. has been awarded LEED Silver.
The hotel’s original structure was completed in 1899, posing a rare challenge to meet the strict guidelines set by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). The project consisted of renovating every aspect of the structure, ultimately developing 263 guestrooms and suites, and expansive public areas including Benjamin Bar and Lounge and BLT Prime by David Burke, The Spa by Ivanka Trump, 38,000 sq. ft. of event space and extensive back-of-the-house support areas.
“The renovation of this extraordinary landmark on Pennsylvania Ave. sets the bar very high in the city’s luxury market,” said Mickael Damelincourt, managing director, Trump International Hotel Washington, D.C. “It is a marquee property that has been very well received both domestically and internationally and reinforces that it is possible to achieve an environmentally sensitive renovation through meticulous planning and execution.”
