The new Trump International Hotel and Tower opened quietly at the end of January (though the official launch won’t take place until mid-March). The building stands tall at 65 storeys, and levels 11 to 30 are reserved for the hotel’s 261 guest rooms, including a 4,000-square-foot presidential suite (which is still under construction). The tower is also home to Stock, a glitzy new restaurant on the 31st floor from Inna and Levitan of Talon International, the developers behind the Trump, and Suits Lobby Lounge, a bar catering to Bay Street business types. We recently stopped by to take in the spectacle.
