The building that Donald Trump famously called his “Mona Lisa” when he bought it in 1988 has finally opened its condo hotel sales. After closing in April 2005 for $400 million of renovation, and recently selling private residences for as much as $50 million, Fairmont Hotels and Resorts is now accepting registrations and sales inquiries.

The Plaza Pied-à-Terre will feature 152 condo hotel units starting at $1.5 million. Suites come in five styles, including a duplex with private terrace, with luxuries you’d expect, such as 24-karat gold faucets and accessories, and some you might not expect, such as wireless touch-screen access to 24-hour concierge services. All in all, it’s a pretty unique opportunity to buy property at a world famous address and a historical landmark (without the historical preservation compliance issues) managed by a trusted brand.

Beyond a sign of how far the acceptance and application of the condo hotel model has expanded, this launch is part of a broader strategy for the developer. The El Ad Group plans to expand the Plaza brand with luxury projects in marquee locations around the world. The Plaza is set to reopen this October in celebration of the hotel’s 100th anniversary.

Harrah’s Entertainment, Inc., just announced an approximately $1 billion expansion of one of our all-time favorites, Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. This is a key initiative in the development of the renowned Caesars brand. For all of you vacationers, this expansion is another project in the extensive growth announced in the past few months by Harrah’s, including:, London Clubs International, Margaritaville Casino & Resort in Biloxi, Miss., The Pier at Caesars® Atlantic City, a new hotel tower at Harrah’s Atlantic City, a new hotel at Harrah’s New Orleans, and a substantial expansion to the Horseshoe Casino in Hammond, Ind.

The centerpiece of the expansion is a luxurious new 665-room hotel tower — the Octavius Tower. Three new luxurious pool villa suites will be built along the second floor of the new tower and will overlook three more new swimming pools that will rim an expanded outdoor whirlpool spa retreat, a poolside café and nearby garden wedding venue. We were told the expansion is slated for completion in early 2009.

Gary Loveman, chairman, chief executive officer and president of Harrah’s told me “This billion dollar investment in our flagship property, Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, is an important part of our comprehensive global growth strategy. From the United Kingdom to Las Vegas and beyond, we will continue to enhance our network of superb properties to deliver unforgettable guest experiences and provide good jobs for our nearly 100,000 team members around the world.”
