TRUMP NATIONAL FOUNDATION RELEASE

MIAMI – March 2015 – Doral’s legendary golf resort was an instant hot spot when it opened in the 1960s, frequented by celebrities and icons of the time. More than 50 years later, the Trump family, innovators with deep roots in real estate, paired with an enthusiastic passion for the game of golf, has completely reimagined the renowned resort, investing $250 million to create Trump National Doral®, an inspirational oasis of luxury and leisure where guests can follow their passions and take respite from reality.

 

Donald Trump, president and chairman of The Trump Organization, along with Ivanka Trump and Eric Trump, executive vice presidents of development and acquisitions, spearheaded the transformation, offering a new generation of style, service and exclusivity by applying the unwavering Trump standard of excellence. Completed March 2015, the Trump family commissioned a team of highly skilled and internationally acclaimed architects, designers, artists and hoteliers to restore its guestrooms, public spaces and golf courses. Today’s Doral resort embodies the signature Trump sophistication while lavishly catering to modern discerning vacationers, sports enthusiasts and business travelers, as well as locals looking for a tranquil oasis.

 

The heartbeat of the modern Trump Doral can be found in the completely redesigned clubhouse, the epicenter of the 800-acre resort. From guest services to dining and shopping options to breathtaking panoramic views of Doral’s historic golf courses, an immersive experience into a world of luxury and relaxation at Trump Doral begins here at the clubhouse.

 

Ivanka Trump worked closely with Wimberly WATG Interiors while personally managing the complete redesign of the resort’s guestrooms, suites, and ballrooms. She introduced her own brand synonymous with quality, elegance, and sophistication into every aspect; from the imported Austrian crystal chandeliers to the handmade Italian bed linens.

 

The resort now boasts 643 guestrooms, including 43 resort suites and 48 deluxe spa suites punctuated with lush garden and golf course views from a private balcony or lanai. Held to the highest of Trump standards, each guestroom is paired with luxurious, modern amenities such as exclusive Trump Hotels bedding and Pillow Top Bed by Serta®, Italian bed linens by Bellino and Nespresso Coffee selections. A panorama of outdoor vistas cascade across the horizon, reinforcing and amplifying the soothing and relaxing environment delivered by this South Florida oasis.

 

The majority of the resort’s guestrooms and suites are located in one of eight all-new villas, which Mr. Trump named in honor of golf’s most legendary players. The Bobby Jones, Ben Hogan, Jack Nicklaus, Phil Mickelson, Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, Sam Snead and Tiger Woods villas are all steps away from the main clubhouse, and all feature deluxe guestrooms and suites accented with Spanish revival details.

 

Art Du Cuisine

Trump National Doral’s culinary emphasis is on locally- sourced ingredients, coveted aged spirits and edible masterpieces.

 

BLT Prime, the resort’s signature restaurant, is an American steakhouse serving the finest cuts of beef, including a 28-day dry-aged N.Y. Strip and a Kansas City bone-in strip, as well as freshly caught seafood specialties. Whether sitting in the restaurant’s elegant dining room or al fresco, guests can indulge in BLT Prime’s signature warm popovers while perusing a perfectly curated menu and taking in spectacular panoramic views of the iconic Blue Monster golf course. Erick Trump, together with Peter Niemitz of Niemitz Design Group, designed BLT Prime.

 

Guests can sip, savor and sunbathe poolside at The Royal Pool’s Palm Grill. The menu features seductive Miami-inspired cuisine, enhanced with Florida-grown fruits, vegetables and fresh greens. Refreshing meze platters, light and local ceviche, and crisp salads pop with refined flavors that pair well with sunshine and relaxation while premier organic fruit juices and herbs infuse innovative cocktails. The restaurant also features a selection of more than 350 wines, including exclusive offerings from Trump Wines.

 

Just steps away from the resort’s legendary golf courses, guests find Champion’s Bar & Grill’s inviting cherry wood bar and comfortable red leather booths the perfect oasis to enjoy traditional American fare paired with refreshing beverages. Nostalgic photos of golf’s most prolific players adorn the room, as well as Donald Trump himself, as far back as the 1980s. There are 10 flat screen televisions throughout, ensuring guests don’t miss the latest news in the world of sports and business. For those who prefer to dine over impressive vistas, Champion’s also offers al fresco seating on the Patio. Chefs can prepare freshly caught seafood, a perfectly cooked steak and tenderly seasoned vegetables on a state-of-the-art outdoor grill while diners enjoy the unmistakable views and delightful warm weather.  

 

In the style of a sophisticated French patisserie, the Marketplace wafts with the aromas of freshly roasted Starbucks coffee, pressed sandwiches and warm baked goods for those on the go. The Pastry Chef hand-makes six flavors of gelato and frozen yogurt daily. An eclectically curated selection of artisanal honeys, preserves, cheeses and charcuterie pairings complement the choices of fine wines for purchase.  

 

Trump Doral also offers menu items from Trump Hotels' Trump Wellness® program, which caters to the health and ingredient-conscious guests. Options include the Nourish and Quick Bite menus, as well as healthy in-room dining options. Gluten-free, vegan, and kosher dining options are available upon request.

 

For The Love Of The Game (of Golf)

Mr. Trump commissioned and worked directly with one of the world's top golf architects, Gil Hanse, to completely restore four of Doral’s historic courses, including the famed Blue Monster, home of the World Golf Championships – Cadillac Championship. Originally, Hanse planned on returning the Blue Monster closer to the original design that renowned golf designer Dick Wilson built in 1962. When the project began, and Hanse and Trump came to appreciate the size of the property – a massive 300-plus acres for one 18-hole course – it became apparent there were additional opportunities to transform the course. A lot of the holes are in the same places, but every green has been rebuilt, every bunker has been moved and shifted. Twelve of the holes have had significant alterations in either direction or have introduced water into play. The most noticeable differences are numbers 15, a par 3 that now has a carry over water to a peninsula green, and 16, still a reachable par 4 but with considerably more risk as water can be found down the left side of the hole. The result is a revered renovation of one of the world’s most formidable and famous courses in all of golf.

 

The Red Tiger, Silver Fox and Golden Palm courses also have been completely reimagined, expanded, and upgraded to exceed expectations of amateur and professional golfers alike. More than 5,000 recently planted trees, plus the addition of five-acres of lakes, will challenge and reward every level of player on the courses. The driving range has been lengthened and expanded, featuring LED lighting systems – the first of its kind in the world - new short-game practice area and 40 practice stations. The Jim McLean Golf School, renown as the number one golf school in America, has a new, on-site state-of-the-art teaching facility. The TaylorMade Golf Performance Lab resides next door, providing the ultimate custom-fitting experience in golf, once an experience reserved exclusively for professional tour players.   

 

Golf operations improvements include a modern locker room and an expansive pro-shop that provides the latest in golf equipment, accessories and apparel for men, ladies and juniors. One of the largest in the country, the pro-shop is regarded as an authority in golf products, as they continuously carry exclusive and limited- edition items.

 

Splish Splash (It’s Florida After All)

Every oasis covets water. Guests will rejoice in the all-new Royal Palm Pool, the centerpiece of a recreational complex set within beautifully landscaped gardens and conveniently located near the clubhouse and guestrooms. The bathing area features a family-friendly zero entry pool, a serenity pool for adults seeking relaxation, a kid’s pool featuring a 125-foot slide for the young and the young at heart, as well as 18 decadent poolside cabanas.

Guests to the Royal Palm Pool are greeted by the Pool Concierge and are offered an array of amenities, such as fruit infused water, 30 SPF Sunscreen and Aloe After Sun, reading material and swim diapers for the Trumpeteers. Guests also receive a Bamboo Amenity Box with two bamboo wicker fans, one menu, two chilled eucalyptus-scented face towels, two glasses of fruit-infused water and a two-sided service rock indicator. Similar to a “Do Not Disturb” sign, the rock indicator allows guests to request service at any time by simply switching on the “sun side.” Likewise, the “moon side” lets pool concierge know the guest is resting peacefully. When temperatures go above 75 degrees, Pool Concierges offer cooling delights that include a spray bottle of chilled lavender or lemongrass-scented facial and body mist, chilled fruits, drinks of the day, fresh fruit smoothies and soft serve vanilla and chocolate yogurt swirl samples.
