Have you ever dreamed of living as "the embodiment of charm," Mr. Bond, James Bond? An upper-class intellectual who steals the hearts of thousands of women as he sits in a bar to drink a hectic Martini. If so, you'll be looking forward to November 21, the release date of his next film, "Quantum of Solace." The new film may teach you how to get the intellect and magnetism of Mr. Bond, but to achieve the perfect atmosphere in the bar of a luxurious hotel, the experts of Hotels.com can help you. The most visited hotel booking website in the world** and SensaCine.com, the only portal specialized in the cinematographic world in the country, have followed in the footsteps of this legend of cinema and have found the hotels of the best films where 007 has woken up with a smile.
Below, SensaCine.com and Hotels.com present the ranking of the best Bond films and cinema hotels:
1. Casino Royale (2006) – Hotel Atlantis When Daniel Craig played the role of Agent 007 for the second time, on November 6, 2008, he emerged from the waters of the Atlantic on the beach of the Bahamas, near the Atlantis Hotel. Many scenes from the movie "Casino Royale" were shot in this hotel with the largest Casino in the Caribbean.
2. Operation Thunder (1965) – Hotel Atlantis But Casino Royale was not the first film in which this island paradise became the set for a James Bond film, because Sean Connery also played the agent in 1965 in the film "Operation Thunderball". Hotel Atlantis is available from 313 euros* per room per night in www.hotels.com.
3. Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) – Hotel Atlantik Kempinski In 1997, Hamburg was the setting for the film "Tomorrow Never Dies", with the attractive Pierce Brosnan as James Bond. Some parts of the secret mission were shot at the Atlantik Kempinski Hotel, which in the film appeared under the name "Bondis Hotel". But Brosnan did not find the body of his girl Bond Paris (Teri Hatcher) at the hotel in Hamburg, but at the British Stoke Park Golf Club.
4. James Bond vs. Goldfinger (1964) – Hotel Atlantik Kempinski Pierce Brosnan was the second actor on this golf course: the most famous golf scene in history was also filmed on the green next to this hotel, with a 007 embodied by Sean Connery in "James Bond vs. Goldfinger". The Hotel Atlantik Kempinski is available from 127 euros* per room per night by booking in www.hotels.com.
5. Diamonds for Eternity (1971) – Hilton Hotel Las Vegas It's not just Bond girl Tiffany Case who was responsible for Connery's tension in "Diamonds for Eternity." Also the game world caused the secret agent's heart to accelerate. At the Hilton Hotel Las Vegas, 007 tried its luck, with its usual success. From 73 euros* per room per night in www.hotels.com
6. Octopussy (1983) - Taj Lake Palace For those who are less fortunate in the game than Mr. Bond but are as fortunate as he is in love, Roger Moore would recommend the Taj Lake Palace, in Udaipur (India), one of the ten most romantic hotels in the world, where Bond fell in love with Maud Adams in "Octopussy". From 388 euros* per room per night in www.hotels.com.
