Damaged brand: New Trump hotels won’t bear his name
I wonder if Donald Trump knows how much he’s damaged his name.
According to Travel + Leisure, new Trump luxury hotels will now bear the “Scion” name.
According to CEO Eric Danzinger, the new name reflects the family without using the brand name Trump has spent a lifetime building.

“We wanted a name that would be a nod to the Trump family and to the tremendous success it has had with its businesses, including Trump Hotels, while allowing for a clear distinction between our luxury and lifestyle brands,” Danziger said in a press release.
According to Executive Vice President of Development & Acquisitions, Ivanka Trump, “Our business at Trump Hotels is stronger than ever and we are incredibly excited about the future of Scion, the newest brand in our hotel portfolio.”
