打开文本图片集

在華盛顿哥伦比亚特区，连接白宫和美国国会大厦的宾夕法尼亚大街被人们称为“美国大街”，这里政府机构林立，博物馆众多，也是官方游行和民间抗议的地点，相配套的餐厅、酒店和商店却稍显冷清。

2016年9月，这条大街上一幢1899年建成的美国最老最大也是最高的邮局经过耗资两亿美元的翻新，以华盛顿特朗普国际酒店的崭新身份面世，仿佛预示着这条作为政治权力中心的博物馆大街正在发生一场悄然的转变，在将来会变得更亲民，更具人间烟火气。

In Washington， DC， Pennsylvania Avenue is known as the "America"s Main Street " which connects the White House and the United States Capitol. This area hosts numerous government institutions and museums， and is also the location for official parades and protest marches， where a lack of restaurants， hotels and shops can be sensed.

In September 2016， the oldest and tallest Old Post Office building in this street which was built in 1899 was reborn into a new identity as Trump International Hotel Washington， D.C. after a $ 200 million renovation project. It seems to foretell a transformation underwent by this museum street， which signifies a future with more popularity and liveliness.

从邮局到酒店的完美演变

The perfect evolution from Post Office to Hotel

始建于1899年的华盛顿老邮局大楼堪称全美知名的地标性建筑，是十九世纪美国仿罗马式建筑艺术的典范，一个多世纪以来，人们来到华盛顿特区皆会瞻仰这座建筑的宏伟。它的所有权归属于美国政府，由美国总务局管理，也正是美国总务局决定将其改造成酒店服务于大众，并最终选择由特朗普酒店集团完成这项使命。

耗资两亿美金的翻新工程自2014年开工，原计划于2018年8月完工，但特朗普酒店集团卓有成效地于2016年9月实现酒店开门迎客，将工期缩短了近一半，这在西方同类规模的酒店建筑改造中着实罕见。

酒店的设计充分尊重原建筑的历史特色，将建筑外观予以完全保留，对内部构造中引人入胜的石雕工艺、木质结构进行精心修复并注入最先进的科技手段，造就了远超一般酒店格局的公共空间。从高挑的走廊到年代久远的电梯间，酒店的大气和历史感仿佛迎面而来，最核心的区域当数由九层楼高的中庭构成的宏伟大堂，这个由奢华大理石铺就的公共空间由手工编织地毯和巨型水晶吊灯妆点，实现让人目眩的梦幻效果，是酒店内社交的绝佳场所。

Built in 1899， the old Washington Post Office building is an example of Richardsonian Romanesque architecture of the nineteenth century， a well-known landmark in the United States. People appreciate this building for more than a century when coming to Washington， DC. It is owned by the US government and managed by the US General Services Administration， and it is the US General Services Administration"s decision to transform it into a hotel and offer its service to the public and eventually the Trump Hotel Group was chosen to complete this mission.

The $200 million renovation project started in 2014 and was originally scheduled to be completed in August 2018. Due to efficient work by Trump Hotel Group， the hotel successfully opened in September 2016， cutting short the construction period by half， which is unheard of for a project of this size.

The design of the hotel fully respects the historical features of the original building， preserves the appearance of the building and incorporates most advanced technology into the fascinating stone craftsmanship and wood structure of the internal structure， thus creating a public space beyond the general hotel norm. From the tall corridor to the ancient elevator， one can sense the hotel"s historical atmosphere right away. The core area is the magnificent lobby composed of the nine-storey high court. Paved by luxury marble， the public space is decorated with hand-woven carpets and giant crystal chandelier， and its dazzling dreamy effect makes it a great place for social networking.

客房——彰显美式美学

The guests rooms-American aesthetics highlights

特朗普酒店集团与知名建筑事务所Beyer Blinder Belle和室内设计公司 Hirsch Bedner Associates 一道完成了酒店263间客、套房的营造，通过高耸大窗、水晶灯台和优美的木制家具等细节，使眼光最高的客人也会得到远离闹市喧嚣的满足。

酒店客房经由14英尺宽的铺满地毯的宽敞走廊连接，海军蓝、象牙白搭配软金色、银色的色调优雅而精致，加厚羊毛地毯、石制面板和抛光木制家具彰显纯正的美式设计美学，镜面装饰的运用加强了房间自然光的效果，客房还通过一系列艺术品述说老邮局的故事。

在酒店的35间套房之中，总统套房由原邮局局长的办公室改建而来，其天花高度达4.8米以上。1899年邮局大楼落成时，以当时邮局局长的地位之显赫，其办公室的面积竟是美国总统办公室的三倍，成就了如今总统套房的宏大格局。套房内保留了原先的壁炉、护墙板和木门，原建筑的石膏顶饰也经过精心修缮，赋予整个空间动人的历史底蕴。套房的卫生间则采用原产意大利的精选金丝大理石打造，呈现总统套房应有的豪华气派。

The Trump Hotels Group， together with renowned architecture firm Beyer Blinder Belle and interior design firm Hirsch Bedner Associates， completed the hotel"s 263 guest rooms and suites. Through details of high-rise windows， crystal chandelier and refined wooden furniture， even guests with the highest standard will get immense satisfaction away from the hustle and bustle.

The hotel rooms are connected by 14-foot wide carpeted spacious corridors， with elegant and refined navy blue， ivory white， soft gold and silver tones， thick wool carpets， stone panels and polished wooden furniture highlighting pure American design aesthetics. The use of mirror decoration strengthens the natural light in the room. Through a series of works of art， stories of the old post office unfold.

Among the 35 suites in the hotel， the Presidential Suite is remodeled from what was formerly the Postmaster General’s office， featuring 4.8-meter ceilings and soaring windows. Impressive craftsmanship and restored details along with modern luxuries make it a unique and historic space. When the post office building was completed in 1899， the position of the Postmaster General was so prominent that the office area was three times the size of the office of the US President. The suite has retained the original fireplace， wall panels and wooden doors， and the original deep plaster crown moldings have also been carefully repaired， reserving a deeply moving historical sense. The master bath is comprised of hand-selected Calacatta gold marble from an Italian quarry with luxurious fixtures and hardware a Presidential Suite deserves.
