Forbes Travel Guide today released its first annual Verified Lists, naming both Trump International Hotel & Tower Vancouver and Trump International Hotel Washington, D.C. as two of the World's Most Luxurious Hotels. Both properties will be showcased with all of the other winners on ForbesTravelGuide.com.

"We are honored to be recognized in the ranking of the World's Most Luxurious Hotels," said Eric Trump, Executive Vice President of the Trump Organization. "We truly have the best properties in the finest locations with exceptional teams, and it is very rewarding to see our hotels continue to garner yet another amazing accolade."

Opened in September 2016, Trump International Hotel Washington, D.C. features a central location, iconic and memorable design, and unparalleled levels of service. In addition to the World's Most Luxury Hotels by Forbes Travel Guide, the hotel was awarded the 2018 Forbes Five-Star recognition, making it the first hotel to receive the prestigious distinction in downtown Washington D.C.

One of the tallest buildings in Vancouver and a landmark of the city, Trump International Hotel and Tower Vancouver brought a new level of luxury to the area upon its opening in February 2017. Each of the guest rooms and suites feature panoramic views through floor-to-ceiling windows, with no two sights alike. The property was also amongst five Trump Hotels properties to receive a 2018 Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star Hotel award, a tremendous honor shortly after opening.
