About Daniel Vosotas: Dan the Hotel Man

From managing hotels to developing complex real estate portfolios, his journey reflects a rare combination of practical expertise and entrepreneurial vision — offering valuable insight into what it takes to thrive in today’s evolving global economy.
A Legacy Built on Innovation
For Daniel Vosotas, innovation has always been more than a buzzword — it’s been a way of life. In 1982, he founded Trans Inns Management, which grew to become one of Michigan’s largest independent hotel management companies, operating and developing properties across leading brands such as Marriott, Hilton, and Holiday Inn.
Building on that success, Daniel later launched VOS Hospitality, a boutique and lifestyle division focused on distinctive, experience-driven properties that redefined what guests expect from modern hotels.
Today, Daniel is channeling that same pioneering spirit into his newest ventures — the Portara Villa Fund, focused on international luxury short-term rental villas, and the Aspen Tree Network, a next-generation platform merging blockchain, tokenization, and DeFi infrastructure to empower more transparent and flexible real estate investment ecosystems.
