Trump Hotel Collection properties across the US are renowned for their signature guest services program, the Trump Attaché, and the pampering extends to even the smallest members of the family. Trump Kids is a comprehensive program that includes special touches as part of every facet of a child’s experience, from personalized “in residence” calling cards presented at check-in (which made my 10-year-old feel extremely grown up) to pintsized spa treatments (milkshake pedicures anyone?). The Trump Baby Attaché will even pre‐stock the guest room and kitchen with necessary supplies so that families can travel lighter. When it is tea cup pups rather than tots in tow, Trump Pets rolls out the red carpet with amenities such as a plush dog bed and blanket inspired by famed photographer William Wegman; an in-room dining menu offering irresistible gourmet treats; a water bowl and fresh bottled water; a personalized selection of toys; and, dog walking service arranged by the concierge.
