NEW YORK Donald Trumps adult sons, who are overseeing a nationwide expansion of the family business during their fathers presidency, are envisioning ways that their experiences from the campaign trail can help them establish a footing in dozens of new markets.
The idea is to move beyond a focus on luxury hotels in big metropolises and build boutique properties in a broader mix of cities, including some the Trump brothers came to know well during more than a year of intensive travel, fundraising and grass-roots networking on the road to the White House.
I got to see a lot of those markets on the campaign, Donald Trump Jr., the presidents eldest son, told The Washington Post in a recent interview from his office on the 25th floor of Trump Tower. I think Ive probably been in all of them over the last 18 months.
The initial plan is tied to the Trumps previously announced new chain, Scion, which is being designed as a less-corporate feeling brand of high-end hotels with a more affordable per-room price point than the Trumps five-star properties.
