Trump International Hotel and Tower, High-rise hotel and condominium at Columbus Circle, Manhattan, United States.
Trump International Hotel and Tower is a 44-floor high-rise with glass facades at Columbus Circle near Central Park. The building combines hotel rooms with residential units and features separate entrances for hotel guests and residents.
The building was originally completed in 1970 as the headquarters for Gulf and Western. It underwent a complete renovation in the mid-1990s and was transformed into a hotel and residential property.
The building appears in the film Tower Heist (2011), released in some markets as Aushilfsgangster. Its address at 1 Central Park West and 15 Columbus Circle places it beside the 59th Street–Columbus Circle subway station, served by the 1, A, B, C and D trains.
Access to the building differs depending on whether you are a hotel guest or resident, with separate entry points. Its location directly at Columbus Circle makes it easy to reach by public transit and offers close proximity to Central Park.
The tower was split into two structures for zoning: a 17-story hotel at the base and a 28-story residential tower above, since apartments were capped at a floor area ratio of 12. The renovation kept the steel skeleton and raised the count to 52 floors within the same 178 m height.
