Bookings at Trump hotels down 60% year-to-year
Donald Trump’s run for president appears to be hurting his hotel business.
Surveys and booking sites show that many consumers are avoiding hotels in Trump’s portfolio.
The booking site Hipmunk reported that its reservations for Trump hotels are down nearly 60 percent over this time last year.

“There’s no denying that this year’s presidential election is particularly polarizing,” said Travelzoo senior editor Gabe Saglie. “It’s not unlikely that, when it comes to Donald Trump’s travel brand, this would have some effect on Americans’ travel habits, especially given the emotional element that’s always attached to planning a trip.”
It’s difficult to imagine ardent Democrats booking a romantic couple’s massage at the Spa by Ivanka Trump, which will be located in the D.C. location, or shelling out major money for a night in a basic room. Rates for the hotel’s opening start at $950 a night.
