Though the place changed its appearance, you might still recognize the big olive trees in the driveway and the main structure of the building. That estate now is the home of a buccaneer boozer named John Watling’s Rum Distillery. Renovations started soon afterwards, and the then pale yellow shackle turned into a shiny red estate.

That helped the look in the movie, but didn’t helped the place itself. ( Check out the guys from Theme Party People for an old image) Casino Royal crew filmed at the site, when the former Buena Vista already finished its business and was in a dire state. You can walk up from notorious Bay Street either on West Street or on Augusta Street.īut to look out for the ramshackle building as it appears in the movie is not a good idea. The “embassy” is situated in Delancy Street just some five minutes up the hill from British Colonial Hotel in Downtown. And it is now, after a big renovation, a rum distillery. It was once the former Buena Vista Hotel & Restaurant in the western area of Bahamian capital Nassau.

The “Casino Royale” Madagascar embassy is fake. Much changed – but the tree keeps standingĪs there is no Nambutu, there also is no Madagascar – at least not as a movie location.
