Trump 'to stay in $5,700-a-night bullet-proof, bomb-proof, poison gas-proof Jerusalem hotel room

US President Donald Trump's first trip abroad will be to the volatile Middle East, so security will be paramount for the commander in chief.

On his second stop, Israel, the president will be staying overnight in one of the safest places on earth – a bomb-proof, bullet-proof, poison gas-proof $5,700-a-night hotel suite that can withstand a rocket-propelled grenade or even a building collapse, Daily Mail reported citing NBC News.

He will bed down at the luxurious King David Hotel in central Jerusalem, where specially made preparations have been made for his arrival, according to the hotel's operations manager. "The presidential suites have independent air conditioning in case of a gas attack and are built to withstand a RPG [rocket-propelled grenade]," Sheldon Ritz said. "But still the US is bringing rocket-proof glass to put in front of the window."

Ritz said that for one night the hotel will be turned into a 'mini White House' that is ready for any contingency. "If the whole hotel blows up the suite will come down in one piece, so maybe a few broken bones, but they will be alive," he said.
