Donald Trump's press secretary Sarah Sanders tweeted that Capella Sentosa will be the location of the Kim-Trump summit.

It was earlier announced on June 5 that the area around Sentosa was gazetted as a special events area.

On June 4, the area surrounding Shangri-La Hotel has also been gazetted as a special events area.

Security experts were expecting Shangri-La to be the venue as it had a track record of hosting prominent events.

A very atas hotel

This is what Capella Sentosa says on its "About" page:

Set on a magnificent tropical oasis of 30 rolling acres, Capella Singapore presents a most pleasant paradox - an intimate 112 luxurious guest rooms, suites and garden villas, yet the most spacious hotel setting in Singapore.

Capella Hotel's website is currently inaccessible, possibly due to an influx of web traffic following the announcement by Sanders.

According to weddingangbao.com, one is expected to give S$222 if invited to attend a wedding dinner there.

For lunch, it will be S$199 -- closer to the 9am appointed meeting time between Trump and Kim.

Well, at least we know the food is going to be good. Probably.
