Trump Hotels’ inaugural property with the Scion brand -- the first not to bear the name of U.S. President Donald Trump -- has been delayed to make design changes requested by company executives after they made three visits to the site since early June, according to the developer.
The changes, which require new construction permits, will push back the opening of the hotel in Cleveland, Mississippi, by five or six months, according to Dinesh Chawla, chief executive officer of Chawla Hotels Inc. The company is building the $20 million property and will own it, while Trump Hotels will manage it.
