TRUMP’S HOTELS ARE LOSING MONEY AS ROOM RATES PLUMMET

BY GREG PRICE ON 11/20/17

Room rates across President Donald Trump’s global hotel empire have nosedived by as much as 63 percent since he moved into the White House while the billionaire continues to deal with allegations of conflicts of interest since taking office.

Twelve of Trump’s 13 titular hotels experienced a decline in room rates when comparing prices from January 2017 to January 2018, according to the Telegraph, which cited travel currency service FairFX.

Prior to his inauguration, a two-night stay at Trump Las Vegas cost $844, but now goes for $314, the biggest fall for one of the president’s properties.

Trump Turnberry, a United Kingdom property that includes a signature golf course, experienced the next-highest drop of 57 percent, followed by Trump Doral in Florida at 53 percent and Trump's controversial Washington D.C. hotel at 52 percent.

Trump Doonbeg in Ireland was the only hotel with an increase, at seven percent. All others slipped between 10 percent and 63 percent.
