Gordon Sondland is worth Hundreds of Millions of Dollars and gets Bailed Out.

"PROVENANCE AID — Provenance Hotels, the company behind spots like Dossier, Woodlark, and the Heathman, has nabbed one of the elusive relief loans provided through Paycheck Protection Program. The company says it laid off around 1,000 employees due to coronavirus-related financial hardship, and that the company hopes to hire back employees with the new aid package.

 The company’s hotels house several big-name restaurants, including multiple Vitaly Paley properties; Paley says, because the hotels and restaurant businesses are separate entities, that restaurant employees won’t get any of that aid.

 For those unfamiliar, Provenance was founded by former E.U. ambassador Gordon Sondland; Sondland returns as chairman in May. Eater Portland has reached out to Provenance for more information."
