He might not be everyone's choice when it comes to the presidency.
But if thers is one thing Donald Trump knows, it's how to run a luxury hotel.
The Trump International in New York city has been named the ‘Best Hotel in the World' by Luxury Lifestyle. The popular magazine said that over 75,000 votes were cast in this year's awards to determine the winner.

The UK-based ‘Luxury Lifestyle Magazine' put together this year's awards by polling its readership. In third place came Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi and The Burj Al Arab in Dubai came in fourth.

Nick Gibbens, editor-in-chief of the Luxury Lifestyle Magazine told the Daily Mail, “He clearly divides opinion on a political level but there is no question about it, Trump is a master hotelier.”
‘He understands what super luxury is all about and delivers the very best experience possible, usually exceeding expectations, Gibbens said.
"He employs only the very best hotel staff and this ensures he can offer guests the most enjoyable of stays. It's also interesting to see a city hotel beat a tropical paradise in the case of Vatuvara Private Island but our readers know luxury when they see it and I am grateful for their assistance in helping us crown the very best hotels in the world."
Located in the Upper West Side, Trump International New York is very highly rated across all platforms such as Booking and Trip Advisor. Each of the elegant and spacious rooms have large windows with Central Park or city views and include 55-inch flat-screen cable TV.
