1 Central Park West, New York, NY 10023 (hotel: 15 Columbus Circle)
Trump International Hotel & Tower, residential address One Central Park West, is a 44-story condominium and hotel tower on Columbus Circle at the southwest corner of Central Park in Manhattan. The building began as the Gulf and Western Building, an office tower completed in 1970 to a design by Thomas E. Stanley. Between 1995 and 1997 a joint venture of the General Electric Pension Trust, the Galbreath Company and Donald Trump converted it into a mixed-use tower, with a new glass curtain wall designed by Philip Johnson and Costas Kondylis. The 583-foot building contains 156 condominium residences on its upper floors and the 168-unit Trump International Hotel below. Residents can use hotel-style services including room service, housekeeping, a spa, an indoor pool and a fitness center, and the ground floor houses the Michelin-starred restaurant Jean-Georges. A stainless-steel globe sculpture marks the entrance on Columbus Circle. The 59th Street-Columbus Circle subway station, served by the 1, A, B, C and D trains, is adjacent to the building.
