Press
Release Body: To coincide with the release of the latest James
Bond film, Quantum of Solace, Hotels.com
have announced details of discounts for hotels in the cities visited
by Bond.
The
22nd film in the Bond series sees the English spy travelling the
world making stops in Haiti, Austria, Italy and much of South
America. Although one of the major action scenes of Quantum of
Solace has Daniel Craig trying to escape an exploding hotel, there
are actually several great hotel destinations mentioned in the
film with those in the Italian capital ranking high on Hotels.com's
list of top romantic getaways, with up to 30% discounts being
offered on many Rome
hotels, ideal for film fans wanting to relive the film.
In
a separate list produced by Hotels.com, four of Bond's hotels
were selected as the best for film fans to visit. Two four-star
hotels in America - Hilton Hotel in Las Vegas and Miami's Fontainebleau
Hotel - were picked alongside two five-star hotels - India's Taj
Lake Palace (Octopussy) and the Hotel Atlantic Kempinski in Hamburg
(Tomorrow Never Dies).
All
these hotels see pivotal scenes in their films and offer fans
then chance to see where the action happened. The Hilton Hotel
is where the filming for the Whyte House casino in Diamonds Are
Forever took place, Oddjob gave a gold makeover to Jill Masterson
in Fontainebleau Hotel in Goldfinger, Taj Lake Palace saw Bond
fall in love with leading lady Maud Adams in Octopussy and the
Hotel Atlantic Kempinski was the location in Tomorrow Never Dies
that saw Pierce Brosnan's famous rooftop climb.
As
well as the Hotel Atlantic Kempinski, Brosnan's role in Tomorrow
Never Dies saw him take in some of Europe's finest sights and
other London
hotels. Some of those hotels featured in the film have also
made their way on to Hotels.com's list of recommended
European breaks, in addition to some of the Paris
hotels seen in Roger Moore's last film as Bond in the 1985
classic, A View to a Kill.
While
a View to a Kill was Moore's last film as Bond, his first as 007,
Live and Let Die, saw him travelling around much of America and
the fictional country of San Monique. New York was the first US
City visited by Moore in the film and the Big Apple provides a
big focus for Hotels.com, providing 30% discounts
on many New
York hotels until the end of the year including family friendly,
boutique and romantic lodgings.
