Not yet......but doesn't the Prresidential travel policy specify a whole floor at a StR, RC, or something similar, of course including the Presidential suite, USA chains only of course?
It would be fun if someone from FT were staying here not or alternatively had had a reservation and were displaced or walked for the President. [I once almost lost a hotel room reservation for Hillary, but it wasn't a Starriott property.]

Do we know where Kim is staying?
OT, but why did he come by train, presumably his own train coming down through mainland China? Didn't he fly to Singapore?

Ok, back to topic. Of course Trump gets an upgrade. And bonus elite points. Wonder what kind of rate he is charged for the rooms for his entourage.

The advance team scouts the hotel facilities and assesses security needs — and also makes sure that there will be enough parking for the presidential motorcade, which can consist of up to 40 cars. (There’s no valet for parking for these vehicles, some of which may look slick, but have military-grade armor.)
...
Presidents usually arrive near side or rear entrances under heavy security, with the armored limo driving into a large white tent designed to hide them for the short walk into the hotel. They generally use service elevators to get to their floor. The government books the entire floor for the traveling staff, and sometimes reserves the floors above and below the president’s for security reasons.

The above quote is from a must-read Yahoo! news article:

I saw in the news that restaurants that face the hotel were ordered to close for six days, with grumbling from the workers at the shuttered eateries.
