Sleep Where Bond Slept
Ian Fleming chose his locations with the eye of a man who knew exactly where he wanted to stay. These are the real places โ all bookable.
GoldenEye Hotel โ Ian Fleming's Original Jamaican Villa
Ian Fleming built his Jamaican retreat in 1946 and wrote all 14 Bond novels here โ including Casino Royale at his own desk in what is now the Fleming Villa. The property has expanded into a boutique resort. The lagoon used in Dr. No is steps away. Sleeping in the Fleming Villa is the closest you can get to being inside Bond's creator's mind.
Grandhotel Pupp โ The Real Hotel Splendide from Casino Royale
This 300-year-old spa hotel's grand belle รฉpoque facade was used as the "Hotel Splendide" in Daniel Craig's first Bond outing. The hotel has welcomed Beethoven, Chopin and various European monarchs since 1701. Its Grandcafรฉ is one of Europe's most beautiful rooms. The real Karlovy Vary Casino is next door.
Gleneagles Hotel โ Scotland's Greatest Hotel & Skyfall Location
The Skyfall landscape was filmed in the Gleneagles estate's surrounding Perthshire hills. Opened in 1924, Gleneagles is one of the world's finest hotels โ three championship golf courses, an equestrian centre, a shooting school and exceptional restaurants. You don't need to love golf to love it.
Hotel Cipriani โ Venice's Most Storied Bond Hotel
Bond's most cinematic city has been used in at least four films. The Cipriani on Giudecca Island โ accessible only by private launch from St Mark's Square โ is where the EON Productions team has stayed and filmed. Its Olympic swimming pool and legendary restaurant make it the most civilised place Bond has ever been.
Atlantis The Palm โ Dubai's Iconic Bond Backdrop Hotel
The spectacular Palm Jumeirah development โ visible throughout the Dubai chase scenes in Die Another Day โ now hosts Atlantis, one of the most OTT resort hotels in the world. Multiple waterparks, an underwater hotel wing, a kilometre of private beach, and more restaurants than you could eat in a week. Very Bond, very Dubai.
Hรดtel de Paris Monte-Carlo โ Bond's Monaco Base
The Palace of Versailles of hotels โ directly opposite the Casino de Monte-Carlo, built in 1864. Bond doesn't stay anywhere lesser in Monaco. The wine cellar dates to 1874. The Louis XV restaurant by Alain Ducasse has held three Michelin stars for over 30 years. The casino is steps from your room. This is pure Bond.
