No hotel room for Trump in Hamburg, Germany

Ironically, the hotel chain owner President Donald Trump couldn’t get accommodation in any luxury hotel of his choice in Hamburg, Germany and has to stay in a government-owned guesthouse.

The trouble occurred when the president’s apparently disorganised team waited too long to book accommodations for the President and his travelling staff for the G20 summit and were told none of the major hotels had vacancies.

The Four Seasons was Trump’s first choice, according to German outlet The Hamburger Abendblatt but it wasn’t available thanks to Saudi Arabia’s King Salman and his huge entourage.

Trump was apparently turned away from many other luxury hotels too.

As for the other world leaders, Russian President Vladimir Putin is staying at the Park Hyatt and German Chancellor Angela Merkel will make camp at the Atlantic Kempinski with India and Canada.

For a time, it appeared that Trump might move his base from Hamburg to Berlin, 180 miles away, and commute to the G20 meetings by helicopter, Germany’s Die Welt reports but that plan fell apart too.

This is not the first time the Trump administration has had trouble with accommodation in Germany. Tillerson had to stay several miles away - at a sanitarium outside of Bonn - from other leaders at the February G20 ministers' meeting.
