Fullerton Hotel Singapore
The Independent: Kim Jong Un reportedly demands to stay in Fullerton hotel during upcoming summit; Singapore might foot the bill if the US doesn’t
According to the Washington Post, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is demanding to stay at the 5-star Fullerton Hotel during his trip here to meet President of the United States of America (POTUS) Donald Trump at the highly anticipated summit between the two nations to be held on 12 June. The summit is expected to take place at the Capella Hotel at Sentosa, according to the Post.
Located along the Singapore River, the iconic Fullerton Hotel commands top dollar and charges over $6000 per night for its Presidential Suite. This price tag has not deterred the “prideful but cash-poor pariah state,” as described by the Post, to demand that their delegation be put up there.
The Post further reported, citing two unnamed sources who are allegedly familiar with the talks, that “When it comes to paying for lodging at North Korea’s preferred five-star luxury hotel, the United States is open to covering the costs…but it’s mindful that Pyongyang may view a U.S. payment as insulting.”
