Where’s Kim Jong Un staying during the summit? A tour of the Melia Hanoi

CNN  

CNN — Already a popular tourist city, Hanoi is about to get even bigger exposure this week thanks to North Korea leader Kim Jong Un’s meeting with US President Donald Trump. Offering a dramatic view of the city’s Hoan Kiem Lake and Red River, it’s on the 22nd floor and includes a master bedroom as well as a separate living room, dining room and work space. Kim travels in style Though the Melia is one of Hanoi’s top five-star offerings, it’s not quite as luxurious as the hotel Kim checked into for last year’s Singapore summit with Trump – the St. Regis. That hotel’s 335-square-meter St. Regis Presidential Suite is filled with hand-painted silk panels, a baby grand piano and original works by big-name artists including Marc Chagall.
