However, if you take a look at the as built hotel lobby bar as well as the spiral staircase and then take a look at other Yabu Puschelberg projects such as the Park Hyatt New York, you can definitely tell the similarities between the two, albeit 'cost engineered' and a less refined and elegant version.

I believe you are quite wrong with this observation. Box Interior Design was hired when the project was restarted (after the Ritz Carlton and before the Trump flag was signed on). Box resigned from the project and the interiors were then completed by the interiors department of project architect, MCM. Other elements you see in the lobby were also designed by Burdi Filek out of Toronto. Holborn took great liberties with the designs for all areas and really no firm's work was carried out as designed.
