President Donald Trump and his children are abandoning the Trump SoHo Hotel, an epically misbegotten and mismanaged project in lower Manhattan that sullied the family's reputation even before it formally opened its doors in 2010.

But -- like visitors to the Hotel California (cue The Eagles) -- the Trumps can check out of the Trump SoHo any time they like, but they can never leave.
