Billionaire standing behind the most luxurious hotel in New York

Vladislav Doronin is a billionaire born in Leningrad who managed to create his own real estate empire and become the owner of the luxurious Aman New York hotel in Manhattan. The opening of the Aman New York hotel, which was an anticipated event in the last quarter of the20th century, did not go without scandals, disputes, and even death. The hotel is the first representation of the Aman Resorts network in New York and was built with the involvement of Vladislav Doronin, who was born in the USSR and achieved success in Moscow while working in the real estate sector.

Aman Resorts

This is a Swiss network of hotels and resorts that offers luxurious accommodations on various continents. The opening of Aman New York was supposed to be a new evolution for this network as the hotel was the first urban Aman property. It was built on the base of the iconic Crown Building, a symbol of Art Deco style on Fifth Avenue.

However, during the construction process, the hotel faced multiple problems and even experienced a fatal incident. Construction work fell behind schedule due to the pandemic, and in February2021, a worker died after falling through improperly installed scaffolding. Despite this, the hotel still generated significant interest and demand from buyers.

Vladislav Doronin

He himself has become the object of interest both because of his successful real estate career and because of his roots in Russia. His business empire, estimated in the billions of dollars, attracts attention and raises many questions about the origin of his wealth. Critics point out that Doronin started out working for American financier Mark Rich, who was accused of tax evasion and fraud. Subsequently, Doronin founded his own company, Capital Group, and became one of the leading developers in Moscow, cooperating with Mayor Yuri Luzhkov. However, Doronin also had certain conflicts - especially with businessman Omar Amanat, who was his partner in acquiring the Aman Resorts network.

Despite all the difficulties, Vladislav Doronin managed to achieve great success and became the face of the Aman brand, embodying the idea of luxury and seclusion. The opening of Aman New York hotel marks a new chapter in his career, showcasing his ability to manage large projects in the most prestigious places in the world.
