DOUBLE 0-7 IS “FOR YOUR EYES ONLY”“DOUBLE-0” SUITE AT
THE BRITISH COLONIAL HILTON
For guests who fancy a dive, the British Colonial Hilton
can arrange for Stuart Cove (which trained the Bond movie doubles) to take them
down under to see the 120-foot freighter that was sunk for the movie
"Never Say Never Again" and the "Valkin Bomber" airplane
from "Thunderball." Both wrecks are actual sets from the movies that
lie beneath the surface at a depth of 40 feet. Essential Information:
The "Double-0" Suite, a one-bedroom suite with
living room and ocean views, starts at $350. To reserve this corner of
Hollywood call the British Colonial Hilton directly at (242) 322-3301 Reservations can be made at all Hilton and Conrad

Stay Where Bond Shot Two Flicks in Suite Laden with
Movies, Posters, Books & Movie Stills
Since two James Bond flicks were shot at the British
Colonial Hilton, a "Double-0" Suite laden with Bond movies, posters,
books, CDs and movie stills was just unveiled. Both "Thunderball,"
the fourth Bond movie with Sean Connery,* which was shot in 1965, and
"Never Say Never Again," released in 1983 also starring Connery, were
filmed at the British Colonial.
The "Double-0" Suite (double-0 is the prefix
for British agents who have a license to kill) is stocked with movies such as
"License to Kill," "For Your Eyes Only," "Tomorrow
Never Dies," "Goldfinger," "Live and Let Die,"
"Thunderball" and "Golden Eye." In the mood for music? Pop
any of the three Bond CDs, including "18 James Bond Film Themes,"
into the CD player. Guests might feel as though they’re being watched as a bevy
of 007 posters and movie stills line the walls with famous faces such as Roger
Moore, Timothy Dalton, Sean Connery and Pierce Brosnan. Perfect for beach
reading (the British Colonial Hilton is the only property in Nassau with a
private beach), guests can take a Bond book from the suite such as "The
World Is Not Enough" or "Tomorrow Never Dies" to curl up with on
chaise lounge.
