Inside the hotel where Donald Trump will meet Kim Jong-Un

Located less than a kilometre off the coast of the city-state, Sentosa Island is known for its high-end beach hotels, golf courses and amusement parks. A US advance team was spotted at the Capella Hotel last week meeting with North Korean officials in preparation for the summit.

Sentosa, which is Malay for "peace and tranquility," is a resort island located off Singapore's southern coast. The fact that it's separated by water could help organizers and security keep out unwanted guests.

The hotel is known for luxury amenities, impeccable service and, above all, privacy for business and leisure. Two of the hotel's buildings were built in the 1880s for British officers based on the island.

On Tuesday night, workers were painting a fresh coat on the facade, extra security was in place and red carpets were being rolled out at the hotel's two entrances.

There's lots of greenery around the hotel and the architecture integrates fauna throughout the property, the hotel simply makes the guest feel the presence of nature everywhere.

With very few reminders of urban sprawl, the hotel is a nice weekend getaway for Singaporeans -- even though it's just minutes away from downtown by taxi.

The five-star luxury hotel, which has 112 rooms, is representative of the East-meets-West spirit so commonly associated with Singapore.The façade of the building is colonial, but the interiors are very modern, with snazzy pools courtesy of renowned Indonesian designer Jaya Ibrahim.
