HONOLULU--(Business Wire)--
Scott Ingwers has been named as Managing Director of Trump International Hotel &
Tower Waikiki Beach Walk, which is scheduled to open later this year in the
Waikiki Beach Walk neighborhood. He will be responsible for all aspects of this
luxury hotel. Ingwers has more than 20 years of luxury resort management
experience and was most recently Hotel Manager of The Fairmont Kea Lani, Maui,
one of Fairmont`s flagship resort properties. 

"We hand-picked Scott to manage our newest hotel in the Trump Hotel Collection
because we feel he truly has the expertise to create and deliver an exceptional
experience for guests visiting this world-renowned destination," said Jim
Petrus, Chief Operation Officer with the Trump Hotel Collection. "With more than
two decades of experience managing hotels in Hawaii, Scott knows the local
culture and understands what it will take to establish Trump International Hotel

Prior to his role at The Fairmont Kea Lani, Ingwers held the position of General
Manager at the Maui Prince Hotel and Makena Golf Courses. His career includes
leadership roles with Hyatt and Renaissance Hotels, as well as Atlantis Paradise
Island in the Bahamas. 

"I`m excited and feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to manage the
newest hotel in Waikiki, especially one associated with the Trump name," said
Ingwers. "Over the coming months, I will be assembling the senior management
team as well as establishing the training foundation for our complete team of
associates so that Trump International Hotel & Tower Waikiki Beach Walk is well
prepared for opening." 

Trump International Hotel & Tower Waikiki Beach Walk marks the first time in
over a decade that a new luxury international hotel is being developed in
Waikiki. Located just steps away from world-famous Waikiki beach, the project
will offer an array of amenities and services including Trump Hotel Collection`s
