City health inspectors found wastewater flooding the kitchen floor, active fly infestations, and improperly sanitised dishes at the Trump International Hotel & Tower in Chicago during a routine visit last December; the latest in a string of regulatory failures to hit Donald Trump's portfolio of hotels and golf clubs across the United States.
According to food inspection records published on the Chicago Data Portal, a city inspector from the Chicago Department of Public Health visited the Near North Side property on 17 December 2025 and issued citations against two of its food outlets: the main kitchen and the rooftop restaurant known as Terrace 16, formerly Sixteen. The hotel's Rebar Lounge and banquets area, inspected on the same visit, received passing grades.
