Trump Organization Considers Reclaiming Former D.C. Hotel

President-elect Donald Trump’s company is reportedly exploring options to repurchase or rebrand the Waldorf Astoria in Washington, D.C., as the Trump International Hotel.

The Trump Organization is reportedly weighing a licensing agreement or purchasing the lease for the historic Old Post Office building in Washington, D.C.
The property, currently operating as the Waldorf Astoria, was previously run as the Trump International Hotel before being sold in 2022 to a Miami-based investor group for $375 million.
Eric Trump stated that the family is open to ‘saving the hotel again’ if approached, though no formal negotiations with Hilton, which manages the Waldorf brand, have taken place.
The hotel, located near the White House, was a popular destination for Republican insiders during Trump’s presidency but reportedly saw a decline in business after the Trump brand exited.
The 125-year-old building, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is government-owned and features 263 rooms, including luxury suites and a private townhouse.
