DONALD TRUMP UNVEILS ARNOLD PALMER VILLA AT TRUMP NATIONAL DORAL

MIAMI, FL – March 4, 2015 - Donald J. Trump, Chairman and President of The Trump Organization, along with Donald Jr., Ivanka and Eric Trump, unveiled today the Arnold Palmer Villa at Trump National Doral Miami®. One of eight brand new deluxe guestroom villas—part of a $250 million renovation to create the finest and most luxurious golf resort in the world—the Arnold Palmer Villa is a tribute to the man regarded as one of the greatest players in the history of the sport. Over his incredible career Palmer was a longtime competitor at Trump National Doral’s world-renowned Blue Monster, the iconic 18-hole course that is regarded as one of the best in the world.

“It is a great honor to celebrate with the incredible Arnold Palmer here today,” said Donald J. Trump.  Arnold is considered by many to be the greatest golfer of all time and we are proud to recognize all the spectacular accomplishments throughout his storied career with the dedication of this magnificent villa.”

The ultra-luxurious Arnold Palmer Villa comprises 46 brand new guest rooms and suites, all surrounding a spectacular, U-shaped central courtyard that embodies the Mediterranean-style glamour of South Florida. Lush landscaping and verdant gardens add to the residential allure, creating an oasis in the midst of the Miami metropolis. The new deluxe guest rooms are adorned in a chic palette of elegant neutrals—including ivory, champagne and caramel—accentuated with mahogany wood and gold leaf Spanish revival details. Classic furnishings paired with contemporary accents present the ultimate in luxury interiors. The Trump family’s renowned attention to detail is evident throughout the villa, with stunning interiors designed by Ivanka Trump and world-renowned architects WATG. The Arnold Palmer Villa’s rooms and suites also boast sweeping views of the resort’s Championship courses and are conveniently located just steps from the state-of-the-art practice facility.

The opening of the Arnold Palmer Villa is the latest in a series of eight all-new luxury villas, which pay tribute to the sport’s greatest legends, including Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods. Each villa is filled with incredibly rare photos and mementos highlighting the glory moments of the champions’ careers. A year after turning pro in 1954, Arnold Palmer won his first high-profile competition in the Canadian Open. In 1958, he scored his initial major championship at the Masters Tournament, and was victorious again in 1960, 1962 and 1964. His wins also include the 1960 U.S. Open and The Open Championships of 1961 and 1962. In addition to his sporting accomplishments, he is a renowned businessman, operating the Bay Hill Club and Lodge in Orlando, Florida (where his namesake Arnold Palmer Invitational is played) since 1974. He is also a course designer and was a key player in the creation of The Golf Channel. Since the 1960s, his favorite drink of iced tea and lemonade has been called an Arnold Palmer. Now 85, he was the first golfer to be awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom (in 2004, presented by George W. Bush), and was the second golfer to be given the Congressional Gold Medal, in 2009.
