Loving parents wanted only the best for their girl and were worried that she would not be able to get an education because of her modeling work. But the shows in Germany, Italy and the USA did not prevent the young beauty from receiving the coveted diploma of the Faculty of Psychology of Moscow State University.
After studying, Alena remembered her hobby for dancing and ended up in the ballet "Todes". She attended acting classes at GITIS, but she never became a famous actress by chance... At her birthday, Alena sang a couple of her favorite songs for the guests. Some representatives of show business liked her excellent vocal skills, and the blonde received an offer to take up music in earnest.

The singer's appearance: Alena Kravets before and after plastic surgery
There is a lot of talk around the fact that Alena Kravets made plastic. They appeared for a reason, because the singer has an amazing appearance.
It is worth noting that nature has endowed the girl with good external data, and Alena only supports genetics. Kravets regularly visits a beautician and shares information with fans. She recently told subscribers about the tightening effect after the Ulthera System rejuvenating treatment.
Alena, with a height of 170 centimeters, weighs 58 kilograms. The blonde keeps such parameters by hard work in the gym and strict nutritional rules. On one of the TV shows, Alena admitted that five years ago she underwent mammoplasty in a foreign clinic and changed the first breast size to the third. After the plastic surgery, Alena Kravets spent a week in the clinic and spent 20,000 euros on her breasts.
And if Alena put an end to the plastic surgery of the breast, making a confession, then she completely denies the plastic surgery of the face. However, the talk that Alena Kravets had other facial features before plastic surgery does not subside. Fans believe that the sensual swelling of Alena Kravets' lips was obtained with the help of filler injections, and the refined nose with a straight aristocratic back was the work of a plastic surgeon.
Alena says that beautiful lips and nose are the merit of genetics, and not the jewelry work of surgeons.
After a conflict with her husband, Alena was worried about the health of her nose, but, according to her, she only managed to get by with the services of a beautician.
Fans are not satisfied with such explanations: they believe that it is unlikely that the reduced nose, the increased volume of the lips and the absence of mimic wrinkles are the result proper nutrition, sports and genetics. The girl tries to prove the absence of plastic surgery and uploads a photo to Instagram different years, but it turns out the opposite: subscribers notice the obvious difference.
It is quite difficult to understand whether Alena Kravets did face plastic surgery or simply skillfully applies makeup. Going out, the star pampers photographers with stylish looks and a well-groomed face.
The five-star complex, located on Voznesensky Prospekt, in the very heart of St. Petersburg, has 137 rooms and 10 suites (including the presidential suite) with panoramic views of the Admiralty, St. Isaac's Cathedral and the Winter Palace.
The owner of the hotel is Russian entrepreneur Vladimir Tulaev, formerly the head of RAO High-Speed \u200b\u200bHighways, and now head of the board of directors of NPO Pribor. Tulaev, together with several partners, created a company that invested more than $ 90 million in the project. The management company was Starwood Hotels & Resorts.
The architectural design of the project was made by the renowned Italian designer Antonio Citterio. The head of his own architecture office and winner of many international industrial design awards, a native of Milan, Citterio has an impressive track record, including, for example, the headquarters of the couturier Ermenegildo Zegna (Milan), Bulgari hotels and restaurants in Milan, Tokyo and Bali, as well as the development of the corporate image of the jewelry company De Beers. Some of the Milanese's interior design works are housed in some of the most prestigious contemporary art museums, including the Pompidou Center in Paris.
In the rooms W St. Petersburg - white leather sofas, huge round chandeliers with shades of golden flowers, large mirrors and lacquer panels. Citterio compared the new St. Petersburg boutique hotel to an old box full of surprises and magic. Another analogy suggested by the designer is Carl Faberge jewelry. “Take the traditional Faberge egg - a luxurious, inventively decorated piece of small size - the parallel with our hotel is obvious,” says the designer.
W St. Petersburg is a chamber space extremely rich in decorative elements. The difference is that the "bells and whistles" of the hotel are predominantly modernist. In other words, the ultra-modern urban hotel, housed in a renovated building in the historic quarter, has become a welcome alternative to the venerable St. Petersburg palace-style hotels with their historic facades, stucco, candelabra and heavy embroidered curtains.
W Hotels love to tease competitors by showing off the range of their capabilities. Concierge service Whatever / Whenever positions itself as a team of "cheerful and resourceful", ready to fulfill any whim of the guest, and by its very name provokes guests to test the concierge's strength. “The only limitation is that your desires must not be in conflict with the law,” explains Vice President of the brand Eva Ziegler.
It is said that once a visitor to one of the W hotels challenged the concierge service, claiming that she wanted to spend the night with George Clooney. Nodding and not in the least embarrassed, the hotel staff left and soon fulfilled the guest's whim. A hastily concocted, but very original dummy of a Hollywood artist was delivered to the guest's room. The customer's delight knew no bounds.
In addition to the hotel itself, W St. Petersburg brought a whole bunch of Russian premieres to the northern capital. The gastronomic part of the hotel is managed by the team of Alain Ducasse, owner of three Michelin stars. Panoramic restaurant MiX - the first Russian restaurant of Ducasse, included in the hundred most influential people in the world according to Forbes magazine. Among the menu items - baked yellowtail with sautéed spinach; young rabbit cooked in a kukpot with tender zucchini and farm chicken from Leningrad region in its own juice with a home-style garnish.
The first spa in Russia Bliss offers visitors, in addition to a set of services traditional for this American brand, such as the famous Fat Girl Slim slimming program and the Oxygen Blast tonic oxygen facial treatment, a Spa-sibo massage specially designed for guests of the St.
“This energetic massage will shake you up and the body will wake up and thank you,” the spa center explained. “We recommend it as an anti-stress treatment. It is also suitable for people with fatigued muscles. "
According to Eva Ziegler, business women, extremely limited in time, have the opportunity, if they wish, to fit a manicure, pedicure and facial procedure in just an hour and still have time to drink a glass of champagne.
The W Hotels hotel brand was born in New York in 1998 and is currently undergoing what Eva Ziegler calls “global expansion”. Today there are about 50 W hotels in the world, half of which are located in North America. W St. Petersburg is the company's first project in Eastern Europe.
In 2011, W Hotels planned four hotel premieres. In addition to the St. Petersburg hotel, the list includes hotels in London, Taipei and the island of Bali. Further, over the next year, hotels in Milan, Paris, Bangkok, Guangzhou and Singapore are on the way.
What is the specificity of the hotel brand? Eva Ziegler answers the question in a very American way: "This is access to the world of Wow!"
“We create our hotels for trendsetters, people whose bright innovative ideas determine development trends in various spheres of life” - this is how Eva Ziegler defines the target group of clients of W hotels. “Jetsetters, people looking for new sensations, as well as real fashionista are also here. By the way, we have a dedicated fashion director who is responsible for organizing our events in this area. "
When asked why the conquest russian market did not start with Moscow, Ziegler just shrugs his shoulders. “It is important for us that at the right moment, a kind of X-hour, several key factors come together at once: the perfect place, the right owner, the right designer. It so happened that it happened in St. Petersburg. And we are very happy about that. "

The general manager of W St. Petersburg by Tino Lindner, who was appointed to this post in October 2015. The deal was registered on February 15th.
Until recently, Aleksey Govorunov was the beneficiary of half of the shares, and the other half belonged to his partner Vladimir Tulaev, a former top manager of RAO High-Speed \u200b\u200bRailways. After the son of the vice-governor bought out Tulaev's share, he became the sole owner of the hotel. As an asset, the hotel is estimated at $ 90 million, i.e. almost 7 billion rubles.
Apart from other real estate objects, Gorbunov Jr. owns another hotel - the four-star Park Inn hotel in Novgorod and the Gallery restaurant. The hotel and restaurant attached to it are estimated at $ 50 million, which now amounts to more than 3.7 billion rubles. Also in 2014, the businessman launched a chain of mini-hotels with 20-30 rooms on the Taman Peninsula.
Run by W St. Petersburg - Starwood Hotels. Experts are confident that the deal will not affect the hotel's operation. "One partner buys a share of the second - this is a normal situation. The hotel policy cannot change," says Elena Lysenkova, General Director of Hospitality Income Consulting.
Meanwhile, according to DP.ru, to W St. Petersburg, relatives of Alexei Govorunov are also related. The investor in the construction of the hotel, which began in 2007, was RED LLC, its co-owner was the Intermarket company, which was owned by Aleksey Govorunov's mother, Irina Govorunova.

But that's not all. Construction loan W St. Petersburg in the amount of $ 40 million "R.E.D." provided by Sberbank, where before he came to the post of vice-governor in Smolny, the businessman's father, Alexander Govorunov, worked.

According to experts, the hotel business has never had a high profitability, but it is considered a good tool for conservative investors who rely on long-term allocation of funds. In the case of international chain hotels, the investment is especially profitable due to the depreciation of the ruble.
The best indicator of the effectiveness of investment in the hotel business during the crisis is the purchase of hotel properties, directly or indirectly associated with federal or regional officials.
Another deal of this kind is the recent sale of the Foros sanatorium to the Federation of Trade Unions of Tatarstan. According to information " Novaya Gazeta", this legendary facility, where Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev rested, was acquired in the interests of the so-called" Shaimiev clan. "In particular, the second company that participated in the shareholding, but formally lost, is connected with the business controlled by Radik Shaimiev, the youngest son of the ex -President of Tatarstan.
The newspaper's observers suggest that the sanatorium could have been bought with "clan money", since the trade unions themselves are unlikely to have the necessary amount. Recall that the Foros sanatorium, which until recently belonged to the Ukrainian oligarch Kolomoisky, was sold at an auction for 1.43 billion rubles.
