Trump Sonesta opening October





After months of Negotiations, Sonesta signed a management pact with Dezer Properties, Miami Beach, and Donald Trump for the 398-room Trump Int`l Sonesta
Beach Resort, Sunny Isles.


The property could open as early as mid-October,
according to a Dezer official. However, at this time, only reservations for
stays Dec. 1 and later will be accepted by Sonesta and that will begin in late
May, Call (800) SONESTA.


Peak winter rates will average about $300 per night;
off-peak, $180. All units will be placed into a rental pool; the hotel will have
21,000 square feet of meeting space capable of handling up to 350 people.


Unrelated to the Trump project are three other hotels that Dezer owns and
operates—the Thunderbird and Monaco, both in Sunny Isles and the Dezerland
Beach Hotel & Spa, Miami Beach.


Menawhile, the new Sonesta Hotel & Suites Coconut Grove extended its offer of
15% commission to include all travel booked for May 1 to Sept.15. The original
offer was for May and June. The 22-story hotel has 300 rooms plus one- and two-
