Sultan of Brunei Makes Play For New York's Plaza Hotel, report says Published August 16, 2014 The Sultan of Brunei is reportedly the favorite among bidders to purchase New York's landmark Plaza Hotel.
As part of an estimated $2.2 billion deal, Brunei's Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah, who hailed his country's controversial Islamic Shariah criminal law as a "great achievement," would also purchase New York's Dream Hotel and London's Grosvenor House Hotel, the Times of London reported.
The properties are being sold by Subrata Roy, an Indian tycoon currently jailed in New Delhi on contempt of court charges. The profits will reportedly be used to pay Roy's $1.6 billion bail bond.
Under the deal, the sultan would not have a say in the day-to-day operation of the hotels, but would be the controlling owner in partnership with two other investors, Sean Hennesseey, CEO of Lodging Investment Advisors told The New York Post.

Plaza Suite with the bride in a black burka...
yeah that will be a Broadway hit...
Wonder if he’s buying hotels in places that go out of their way to celebrate homosexuals. I know NY Post publishes celebratory articles all the time.
But a Koran at every bedside.
I hope he gets it....NYC deserves him.
Send this sultan boy a dozen pigs in a blanket for him to celebrate with. Followed with some S. Carolina style pulled pork sandwiches for as afternoon snack.
