Did White House staff have problems booking a hotel for Trump for G20? BuzzFeed headline says: > President Trump Apparently Couldn't Find A Hotel To Book For The G20 Summit > > He is one of the most powerful people in the world. He is coming to the meeting of 20 powerful countries. And he has a problem: no hotel room for the G20. It's widely reported by the press, but only quoting BuzzFeed as a source.

**True.**

The "Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten" turned down President Trump in April, as reported by Hamburger Abendblatt (paywalled, secondary quotation e.g. on The Local and Spiegel Online.)

Apparently the contingents booked by the Auswärtiges Amt (Department of Foreign Affairs) were already allocated otherwise when the US request came in, indicating that the White House staff was a bit late on the ball.

On 9 June, Bild reported that the Hamburg Senate has offered President Trump a guest house as accomodation. (Adblocker-blocked, also secondary quote by The Local.)

Subsequent reports about President Trump at the G20 summit, like this one by the Norddeutscher Rundfunk, also mention Persident Trump staying at the Senate's guest house.
