D.C. could become home to a second Trump hotel.

Foxhall Partners principal Brian Friedman told the Post that the Trump hotel company鈥檚 representatives have toured both the Carlyle Hotel in Dupont Circle and the Kimpton Glover Park, both of which Foxhall owns.

The brand is described as 鈥渓ifestyle,鈥� which typically means it鈥檚 courting a hip, younger鈥�
