Ivanka Trump, along with her husband Jared Kushner, is venturing into the luxury hotel industry by opening a new Aman hotel in Albania. This new project showcases her desire to showcase her real estate expertise and collaborate with top architects and brands in creating a lavish mountainside resort.
The hotel will be managed by Vlad Dronin’s prestigious Aman brand, known for its ultra-luxurious properties around the world. Additionally, the food and beverage offerings will be curated by the renowned foodie hotspot, Carbone. This partnership with industry giants highlights Ivanka’s commitment to providing guests with a world-class experience.
In her interview, Ivanka emphasized the importance of honoring the existing topography of the 1,400-acre island in the Mediterranean where the hotel will be located. She discussed the challenge of creating a modern design while seamlessly blending it with the natural surroundings. This attention to detail and commitment to creating a unique space sets this project apart from traditional luxury resorts.
Aman hotels are known for attracting a high-profile clientele including celebrities like Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, the Kardashians, and Angelina Jolie, among others. With over 30 properties in 20 countries, Aman has established itself as a premier destination for luxury travelers. The average room rate of $1,400 a night and villas priced at $50,000 further solidify its reputation as a top-tier hospitality brand.
While Ivanka has been spotted at Aman’s NYC location and is actively involved in the development of the Albanian property, she remains committed to her family and personal endeavors. Despite her previous work in the White House, she has chosen to step back from politics and focus on her business ventures. Her support for her father, Donald Trump, during his presidential nomination acceptance demonstrates her loyalty to her family while maintaining her independence in the business world.
