Trump International Hotel Waikiki Newly Awarded for 2015

(HONOLULU, HI) February 23, 2015 – At the announcement of the Forbes Travel Guide Global Star Ratings, TRUMP INTERNATIONAL HOTEL WAIKIKI proudly accepted the prestigious Five-Star rating for its distinguished property, making its debut on the acclaimed list after completing its fifth full year of operation.

Trump Waikiki joined its New York, Chicago and Toronto counterparts with the Five-Star designation, honoring its commitment to a personalized guest experience that continues to raise the bar in luxury hospitality.  When it opened in November 2009, Trump Waikiki was the first new-build hotel in more than 25 years in one of the world’s most sophisticated hotel markets.  Now, with its uncompromising service coupled with luxury amenities and passionate staff, the hotel has risen to prominence as the first and only hotel on the island of Oahu to receive the prestigious Forbes Five-Star award.   

“We’re thrilled to, once again, receive the prestigious Five-Star ratings from Forbes Travel Guide, which are not only a great accomplishment for the individual properties but for TRUMP HOTELS as a whole,” said Donald J. Trump, chairman and president of The Trump Organization. “Adding Trump Waikiki to our esteemed list of Forbes Five-Star hotels is a true testament to our brand’s mission to provide the highest level of customized, luxury service that is unrivaled in the marketplace today.  We’re extremely proud of our team for upholding and delivering on this mission each and every day.”

“We are exceedingly proud of our associates for achieving this recognition, and to be the newest Trump Hotels property to be recognized by the Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star Awards,” said Scott M. Ingwers, managing director Trump International Hotel Waikiki.  “We at Trump Waikiki are focused on delivering the very best in luxury service with genuine Hawaiian hospitality, and it is an honor to be the first hotel on the island of Oahu to receive this prestigious award.”
