Venice in Uproar as Furious Guests Claim They Were Kicked Out of Luxury Hotels—All Because of Jeff Bezos? Outrage Mounts as Secretive VIP Takeover Sparks International Backlash! What Really Happened Behind Closed Doors? The Scandal That Has the World Questioning the Price of Extreme Wealth!

US media said that guests who had booked a room for the evening of June 25 at the Aman Venice Hotel were forced to move to another place to make way for billionaire Jeff Bezos.

The source said that the Amazon boss and his fiancée Lauren Sanchez were staying at Aman Venice and had rented the entire luxury hotel during the wedding. Before the couple arrived, 10 to 12 security guards searched the entire place, checking both the cabinet and the courtyard, Page Six reported on June 24.

The scene in the hotel lobby was described as “chaotic” when security personnel asked each person if they were staying here. Guests who had booked in advance for the evening of June 25 were forced to move elsewhere after billionaire Bezos rented the entire hotel a few months ago. Aman Venice has covered the cost of new accommodation, refunded a one-night stay and upgraded rooms for affected guests. However, some guests still complain about having to pack their belongings, move and have to unload their belongings at the new accommodation.

Staff said they are preparing for Bezos and Sanchez’s upcoming activities. Spa staff feel pressured by the large workload from difficult A-list guests. The hotel has a private area for celebrities, avoiding the attention of the paparazzi.

Currently, Aman Venice has not responded to Page Six’s information.

Security was also stepped up at other luxury venues in Venice as an all-star cast of guests attended Bezos and Sanchez’s lavish wedding. Seven Italian police officers were seen inside the St. Regis Venice lobby, where many of the wedding’s VIPs are believed to be staying. Check-in guests are required to wait outside. A witness said police blocked the door and thoroughly checked each person, including those with luggage; It seems that there is an important figure checking in.

A source said the police presence was unusual at the St. Regis Venice Hotel, where room rates reached nearly $2,000 per night. A group of guests who had booked a table for lunch at Gio’s Restaurant also had to wait. Inside, no celebrities are seen, although two strange men are touring the bar and the ground floor area. A local resident said they were surprised to see a boat full of police.

It is expected that the most lavish wedding taking place this weekend will have the presence of many famous guests such as Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, Oprah Winfrey, Gayle King, Barbra Streisand and Leonardo DiCaprio.

Reuters news agency reported that the couple’s wedding party had been moved to an isolated, more inaccessible area in Venice because of security concerns. Originally, they planned to hold a wedding party in Cannaregio but changed their plans due to protest groups publicizing the slogan “No room for Bezos”. These people threatened to jump into the canal and block the road to destroy the wedding.

Security is a part of the Amazon billionaire’s daily life. Jeff Bezos spent $1.6 million on security in 2023 and installed $180,000 worth of bulletproof glass in his office in 2019.
