No luxury hotel for Trump: Staff waited too long to book a room in Hamburg for G-20
President Donald Trump won’t be staying at a luxury hotel in Hamburg, Germany, for the G-20 summit.
White House staff members waited too long to book a room for the president, reports say. By the time they started inquiring about availability at Hamburg hotels, all rooms were booked.
Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin are among those attending the summit hosted by German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
Trump is known in part for his luxury hotels in the U.S. and around the world, but that apparently didn’t help in his quest for a room in Hamburg.
Buzzfeed reported that other nations’ leaders and their staffs had booked some of Hamburg’s hotels in time. Vietnam’s delegation booked at Hotel Reichshof. Italian and Chinese leaders will stay at The Grand Elysée. German, Indian and Canadian leaders will stay at the Atlantic Kempinski.
The Associated Press reported Trump will stay at the Senate guesthouse of Hamburg.
The summit is a meeting between world leaders, and the issue of climate change will reportedly dominate the discussions.
