CHICAGO – The new Trump International Hotel and Tower Chicago has not been stingy in choosing items for its in-house minibars.
Items include: Knipschildt truffles from New York, Fever-Tree ginger ale from England and, naturally, Trump Ice bottled water.
The priciest item: Bling H20 bottled water from Tennessee. Price: US$25 for a half-litre bottle. Of course, that’s a Swarovski crystal-encrusted bottle.
The hotel says the water comes from a natural spring “in the middle of 120 acres of virgin forestâ€.
“I think Paris Hilton feeds it to her dog,” says Philipp Posch, Trump Chicago’s food and beverage director.
The only Chicago-made treat to be included in the minibars is Terry’s Toffee, a boutique toffee company.
“It’s kind of like being nominated for an Academy Award,” said Terry’s Toffee owner Terry Opalek
