Trump International Hotel and Tower elevates the standard for luxury high-rise living in Chicago. Soaring 1,398 feet above downtown and featuring unparalleled views of Lake Michigan and the Chicago River, the modern building— the tallest reinforced concrete structure in the United States — pays tribute to a city that gave birth to the world’s first modern skyscraper more than a century ago.
The Trump Tower luxury condos for sale reside in a vertical masterpiece built in the great Chicago architectural tradition. The building encompasses retail space, a parking garage, a hotel and condominiums in more than 2.6 million square feet of floor space. A total of 486 condominium residences occupy floors 29-89, affording homeowners the ultimate in luxury and sweeping vistas of the city; 339 hotel guestrooms and suites occupy floors 17-27. There is also 26,000 square feet of function space, including a Grand Ballroom, Skyline Room, the Grand Salon, the Bridgeview Room, Riverside Room and the Riverside Gallery, each boasting a distinct view of the Chicago skyline.
Architectural Wonder
Eight-nine stories of polished stainless steel and iridescent-tinted glass reflect the daring vision of architecture firm Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill LLP (SOM), led by Adrian Smith (the mastermind behind the world’s tallest structure, Burj Khalifa in Dubai). They endeavored to create a timeless monument in Trump Tower that blended with the historic architecture surrounding the building, while offering a rare, up-close experience with Chicago’s most iconic landmarks. Three tiered setbacks at floors 16, 29 and 51, for instance, offer Trump Tower guests and residents varying eye-level views of the Wrigley Building, Marina City Towers and Mies van de Rohe’s IBM Building. SOM also took inspiration from the building’s orientation along a curve of the Chicago River, which is reflected in the tower’s shape at the base and the three-level walkway that anchors the waterfront. The 1.2-acre landscaped public riverwalk also links guests and residents to North Michigan Avenue (where the city’s Gold Coast shopping district resides) and State Street (a key corridor that leads to the Chicago Loop). The water theme continues in the grand lobby, which features a 35-foot glass wall hung from the second floor that resembles a cascading wave with clear sight lines to the waterfront. The tower’s rounded surfaces and setbacks not only form the building’s distinct architectural character and create cinematic views, but they also minimize the forces of Chicago’s ever-famous wind.
Location
An enviable setting on North Wabash Avenue has made Trump Tower a coveted address. All of the best of downtown Chicago is within walking distance. The exclusive shops on Magnificent Mile offer upscale shopping with every luxury brand from Cartier to Hugo Boss and Prada staking an address on legendary Michigan Avenue. Historic sites can be explored along the Riverwalk, day or night. The Navy Pier, Millennium Park and the Hancock Observatory are also nearby. Cultural aficionados will appreciate proximity to the acclaimed exhibits at Field Museum, Shedd Aquarium and The Adler Planetarium. Lying immediately south of Trump Tower, Chicago's business district, the Loop, is an international hub of culture and commerce. The Theater District is also found here, giving Trump Tower residents and guests access to productions of acclaimed Broadway shows year-round (and not to mention, the finest steakhouses in the Midwest).
Amenities
The world-class amenities and services at Trump Tower continue to impress even the most discriminating guests and residents. The level of hospitality offered through the signature Trump Attaché™ services is world-renowned, as evidenced by the Five-Star Forbes Ratings for both its hotel and restaurant (the only Midwest hotel with this distinction).
Spa
Once called the "Bentley of hotel spas,” the Spa at Trump provides five-star services with 12 treatment rooms and 53 spa guestrooms in 23,000 square feet overlooking the picturesque Chicago skyline. Popular treatments include gemstone-infused (diamond, ruby, or sapphire) oil massages, a "robe menu,” and for customers who come early, hydrating masques, exfoliating salts and a deluge shower to boost one’s mood. The spa also features a health club with an indoor pool, eleven treatment rooms, a private couples treatment suite, Swiss shower and saunas.
Dining
In the mezzanine level lounge, Rebar offers the ultimate bar ambiance with east-facing, floor-to-ceiling windows that give patrons the feeling of floating over the Chicago River. The name, a nod to the 50,000 tons of rebar used in the construction of Trump Tower, suggests strength while its swanky, hard-meets-soft décor carries the bar’s next theme: mixology. Rebar’s approach to cocktailing is called "Liquid Kitchen" due to its use of fresh-squeezed juices, fresh herbs, fruits and spices. A Japanese-inspired menu of bar bites such as sushi, sashimi and unique stainless steel swizzle sticks called "stirs” boast an equal amount of swank.
On the 16th floor, Sixteen continues to garner praise for its French-inspired American cuisine crafted by Executive Chef Thomas Lents. The two-star Michelin-rated, Forbes’ Five Star and AAA Five Diamond restaurant is known for sourcing the highest-quality ingredients in the world to create unconventional and seasonally inspired menus that tell a story. After deciding on a theme at the start of each year, Lents and his culinary team build their menus in the form of a poem, a painting or even an astrological wheel. Each menu is united and told in the same voice, matched by an evolving rotation of food, service, wine, music and tabletop aesthetics that accompanies each seasonal shift. The result is a truly unforgettable epicurean experience with an equally unforgettable backdrop: panoramic vistas of Lake Michigan, the Chicago River and the Wrigley Clock Tower made possible by massive 30-foot floor-to-ceiling windows. A fine dining experience that appeals to all of the senses, Sixteen is also visually inspiring in design. Envisioned by designer Joe Valerio, the restaurant has been artfully crafted around a sequence of spaces that do not reveal themselves all at once, but rather in "procession.” Diners are led into the restaurant via a T-shaped foyer and passageway lined with floor-to-ceiling
architectural bronze wine racks in opposing red and white wine rooms. They are eventually greeted by views of the Wrigley Building Clock Tower and the Tribune Tower’s flying buttresses, which are impressive by day or by night.
