Wall Street Journal:

Boasting nightly rates north of $7,500 for its most lavish offerings, the Capella Hotel in Singapore is accustomed to staging corporate powwows and putting up pop stars like Madonna and Lady Gaga. Sandy beaches and a golf course are within easy access.

This lush luxury resort on a tourist island is set to host historic talks between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on Tuesday.

以下内容讲解在会员课程【英文杂谈】同步更新

The Capella’s location on Sentosa island, just south of downtown Singapore, offers relative seclusion and security advantages. The hotel’s hilltop geography provides police with good vantage points. Connections between Singapore city and Sentosa, which means “peace and tranquility” in Malay, are limited to a causeway, a monorail line and a cable-car system.
