President Donald Trump is partway through his first official visit to Asia.

As part of the trip, he is making a stop at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Economic Leaders’ Meeting today, which is being hosted at the InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort, on a private peninsula in Danang, Vietnam.

The summit has welcomed Russian President Vladimir Putin, Chinese President Xi Jinping, and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, along with Trump and other Pacific Rim foreign and trade ministers.

These foreign leaders have a beautiful backdrop for their meetings. The five-star InterContinental is situated on a hillside, with private villas that provide gorgeous views.

Prices range from around US$400 to more than US$3,000 a night. Let’s take a look around.

The resort and spa is built into the hillside of Monkey Mountain. Monkeys are a common theme that plays throughout the hotel’s decor.
