The Trump name has long been synonymous with luxury, but it's only recently come to be tied to "presidential," or has it?
The history of the Presidential Suite is actually rooted in the presidency of Woodrow Wilson. As a frequent traveler, he had very specific demands for hotel rooms and believed that his accommodations should be tailored to his expectations.
The Presidential Suites we know today don't exactly subscribe to Wilson's original requirements and are more often the largest or most luxurious suites a hotel has to offer. That brings us to now, where we again find the two worlds of hotels and politics colliding.
Don't worry; we're more interested in the hotels. Here are 10 of Trump's finest Presidential Suites.
1. Ayrshire, Scotland | Trump Turnberry
Lighthouse Suite, ~$4300/night

Secluded and dreamy, this Lighthouse Suite is said to be the most expensive hotel room in the entire UK, and you can see why. Stunning views frame the 1873 Turnberry Lighthouse, with the Firth of Clyde on one side and a championship golf course on the other. Inside you'll find a two bedroom suite with marble bathrooms and living and dining areas. Oh, did we mention the butler?
2. Chicago | Trump International Hotel & Tower
Grand Deluxe Lake View Two Bedroom Suite, ~$1000/night

Trump International Hotel Chicago offers flexible luxury accommodations with one-, two-, and three-bedroom grand deluxe suites available for booking. We've chosen to highlight the Grand Deluxe Lake View Suite with two bedrooms, coming in at around 2000 square feet of opulent real estate. The lake, skyline and river views are the cherry on top of the marble fireplace and full kitchen.
3. Las Vegas | Trump International Hotel
Three Bedroom Penthouse, $1431/night

Trump's Las Vegas outpost has plenty of penthouses available for high rollers, but the Three Bedroom Penthouse is what we have our eyes on. With over 3,000 square feet of space, there's plenty of room to have an Indecent Proposal moment and roll around in all of the money you just won at the casino. Plus, you can watch the dazzling lights of the Strip from your master bed. Sin City, indeed.
4. Miami | Trump National Doral
Presidential Suite, $5897/night

Trump National Doral in Miami is a sprawling 800-acre resort, which means plenty of space for an expansive Presidential Suite. The 2,369-square-foot space contains two bedrooms, two baths, a living room, a dining room and a grand foyer – all opulently decorated and complete with views of championship golf course views.
5. New York | Trump International Hotel & Tower
Two Bedroom Park View Suite, $1305/night

When you think "Trump Tower" or "Trump Hotels," the New York location is probably the one that comes to mind. Located in Midtown Manhattan, the Two Bedroom Park View Suite is the largest of Trump's luxury rooms at 1540 square feet. As the name implies, the suite boasts amazing Central Park views. What's not implied? The in-suite personal chef.
6. Panama | Trump International Hotel & Tower
Presidential Suite, $2689/night

Trump International Hotel in Panama is the sole Trump property in Central America, so it has to impress, and the 1562-square-foot Presidential Suite does not disappoint. Located on the 35th floor, you're guaranteed panoramic city views through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
7. Toronto | Trump International Hotel & Tower
Trump Sky Suite, 2300 sq ft

Mired in controversy since its opening, the Trump International Hotel & Tower in Toronto recently went into receivership and it might not be long before Trump's name vanishes from the tower (as hotel manager; the company has never owned the property).
Throughout the chaos, though, the hotel has never skimped on luxury. In fact, the hotel once made headlines for offering a Presidential Suite at a whopping $20,000 per night. As a solid second choice, you might prefer the Sky Suite, located on the 40th floor. As you might guess, the views from these windows are unbelievable, and the lodging is just as great.
8. Vancouver | Trump International Hotel & Tower
Grand Deluxe Two Bedroom Suite, ~$2600/night

Although not officially open yet, the Trump International Hotel in Vancouver is set to offer the luxury synonymous with the brand. The 2100-square-foot Grand Deluxe Suite offers two bedrooms on the 21st floor, and comes with a full kitchen (which even has a separate entrance for service if you're hosting an elegant dinner party).
9. Waikiki | Trump International Hotel
Waikiki Penthouse Suite, $3204/night

The Waikiki Penthouse Suite is the ultimate in extravagant accommodation at Trump's Honolulu location. In a place as beautiful as Hawaii, the outdoor space is just as important as the interior – if not more so – and this suite gets it. With three balconies, a private rooftop deck and a lap pool, all with ocean views, you'll never want to leave.
10. Washington, D.C. | Trump International Hotel
Postmaster Suite, 4000 sq ft

The newest in a long line of Trump Hotels, this luxury property resides in Washington's old Post Office Pavilion on Pennsylvania Avenue, and the history of the space is what really sets it apart from other Trump properties. The appropriately-named Postmaster Suite is filled with original, preserved touches like crown molding, doors, carved window casings and a restored fireplace.
