President Donald Trump’s hotel company aims to eventually triple the number of Trump luxury hotels throughout the United States and will begin opening lower-priced hotels this year as well.

“There are 26 major metropolitan areas in the U.S., and we’re in five,” Trump Hotels CEO Eric Danziger said on Tuesday after a panel at the Americas Lodging Investment Summit in Los Angeles, according to Bloomberg . “I don’t see any reason that we couldn’t be in all of them eventually.”


There are eight hotels managed by Trump’s company in the U.S, some of which Trump’s family owns. Trump Hotels is eyeing Dallas, Seattle, Denver and San Francisco as possible expansion locations, Danziger said.

Trump opened the Washington location of his hotel chain in October, just down the street from the White House he now occupies. While Trump has said that he has handed over control of his businesses to his two adult sons, Donald Jr. and Eric, but his Washington hotel is especially still causing him headaches.

He is still mired in litigation with two celebrity chefs who abandoned plans to open restaurants in the hotel after Trump made incendiary statements about undocumented immigrants. Trump is also facing a lawsuit from a liberal watchdog group arguing that the president is violating the Constitution's ban on officials accepting benefits from foreign governments, in part because foreign leaders are doing business with his Washington hotel.
