    Very interesting read. But, does anyone know if the Hotel Dessalines from QoS is a real place?

    Indeed they are real. Quite a few hotels too.

    The hotel at the end of QoS in the desert is definitely a real hotel. Has been featured in many magazines.
  • I like the Fontainebleau in Miami from Goldfinger. I'd like to stay their once in my life and play cards by the pool for old time sake.

    Apparently the Hotel Dessalines is the Arboix Building? Can't find much more on it.

    And yes, the Perla De Las Dunas is a real hotel, too, though at first, I thought it was fake.

    @sirseanisbond, can I help you from a balcony via a pair of binoculars?
  • Cool hotels. Now, where to find the money to visit them all....

    The only one I have stayed in is the famous Palacio in Estoril. There was a casino next door.

    It is my ambition to stay in the lake palace hotel in Udaipur.

    There still is a casino next door, in fact I would say it is the ultimate Bond casino! Don't you know the story @actonsteve?

    Oh indeed I know the story young Sandy. I tossed a coin from the balcony into the swimming pool in honour of the film.

    The ultimate Bond casino? I would have said the Monte Carlo casino but it has to be Casino Royale doesnt it?
