Big Business in the Big Apple
From Wall Street to Midtown, there’s always a reason to do business in Manhattan. The real question becomes where to stay, where to entertain and where to unwind. A massive renovation to Trump International Hotel & Tower®, the only Forbes Travel Guide Five Star hotel with a Five Star restaurant in New York, makes it more appealing than ever.
Located just off Central Park at the junction of Columbus Circle and Broadway, Trump New York is the best choice for business travelers who want easy access to all things New York. The guest rooms and suites are now more luxurious than ever, with custom-designed furnishings, rich velvet draperies (in case you tire of the unparalleled Central Park views) and pillow-top mattresses. But it’s the amenities that really elevate Trump New York above the rest. Each guest room has a fully equipped European-style kitchen, Jacuzzi tub, 55-inch flat-panel HDTV, high-speed and wireless Internet, and a printer or fax on demand. The Trump Attaché™ further proves the caliber of service here. Whether it’s to fill your Sub-Zero fridge before your arrival, unpack your hanging bag or arrange for personalized stationery, your personal attaché is at your service day and night.
Jean Georges Dining Room at Trump New York
You don’t have to go far for an exceptional meal either. Trump New York has some of the top restaurants in the city, including Jean Georges. An amalgam of American, French and Indochinese flavors, the cuisine at Trump’s signature restaurant is consistently exceptional, and the tableside service is top notch. Plus, Jean Georges’ fare is available 24 hours a day in your room. A more casual option, Nougatine, is ideal for solo diners, thanks to the sleek bar and exhibition kitchen. Mistral Terrace opens in the summer months and serves up great people-watching, thanks to its park-facing locale.
The business facilities are also state of the art. The 665-square-foot Executive Trump Boardroom offers a comfortable space with teleconferencing capabilities, high-speed Internet, LCD projection TVs, available catering by Jean Georges and no airwalls for total privacy. If you forgot your computer, you can either head to the full-service business center or ask your attaché to fetch you one of the hotel’s laptops.
When relaxation is in order, head to Trump Spa™. The expansive spa has all the perks: a 55-foot heated indoor pool, health club, sauna, steam bath and personal training programs. Or, take a jog in Central Park, Trump New York’s virtual backyard.
Accomplish more. Miss less. Private jet travel with the Marquis Jet CardSM program is almost like having a time machine, as it truly allows businesses and individuals to reclaim hours of valuable time. Through its exclusive alliance with NetJets®, a Berkshire Hathaway company and the worldwide leader in private aviation, the Marquis Jet Card is the only jet card that provides the convenience, quality and safety of the world’s premier fractional ownership program, 25 hours at a time. NetJets manages and operates the world’s largest and most diversified private jet fleet of more than 800 aircraft and an unmatched operations infrastructure.
Ideal for those who fly between 25 and 50 hours a year, the Marquis Jet Card provides all of the benefits of owning your own aircraft, but without the responsibilities and risk involved with whole aircraft ownership and a long-term commitment.
Thousands of active Marquis Jet Card Owners routinely use their Marquis Jet Cards to enhance their business and/or personal lives by maximizing their new level of control while avoiding the hassles associated with commercial travel. In addition to forcing you to relinquish control of your schedule, first or business class commercial travel does not provide the privacy or configuration required to conduct a business meeting in flight or enjoy valuable time with family and friends.

The Marquis Jet Card also makes it easy to seamlessly transition from business travel into leisure travel. The company has a number of partnerships with a variety of resorts and destination clubs across North America, including Exclusive Resorts, Vail Resorts, Montage Hotels & Resorts and The Ritz-Carlton Destination Club.
Unmatched for its safety, security and reliability, all NetJets aircraft go through a carefully managed maintenance regimen handled by professionals who know them best: the original equipment manufacturers and their authorized support facilities.
