DanJ Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 If this has already been discussed, I welcome the administrators to move this post to the proper thread:In anticipation of an upcoming visit to the Winterhaven hotel, am I correct in saying that this was the location for opening scenes from "No Exit" and "Bushido?"If so, any info as to which room/floor was used would be appreciated.

DanJ Posted August 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 I do know that is the correct hotel for both scenes you mentioned. The bathroom is still right across the road today.I'm not sure about the room/floor.My information is that the bathroom building is a replacement. It is on the same footprint and is the same size as the original building. The sand where Zito was buried/hiding is now landscaped as far as I can tell' date=' so he couldn't do that stunt there today. I believe the men's/women's restrooms are now opposite of the original orientation. Before Ocean Drive become overly congested, I would go to the beach right there and as such have been in the original building. Never found anyone gagged and bound to a toilet...A little too congested/busy nowadays for me - I used to be able to pull up any time and find a parking space on the street right in front of Lummus Park. Do that today and you're likely to end up circling the street a while before - or if - anything opens up. There are parking facilities a block west of Ocean Drive, at least two of them garages, where you can park. Depending on which lot/garage you find and which part of Lummus Park you plan to visit, it is at least a one block walk to the park.The first floor above the lobby was used for the "Bushido" surveillance window - probably then a hotel bedroom' date=' today an extension of the first floor corridor above the lobby area.[/quote']Sounds like anyone could simply walk in the hotel, go to the second floor, then walk to the east end of the hall and you're there. I may try that soon...Thanks for the info, gang! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lauderdale Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 My information is that the bathroom building is a replacement. It is on the same footprint and is the same size as the original building. QUOTE]The original bathroom was there until about 2 to 3 years ago then it was torn down to the ground and replaced in the same spot with a new one. I have pictures of the demolition and construction of the Bushido bath house so I will look at the dates on the pictures to give you a better idea as to when the dirty deed was done.

airtommy Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 Nofretz, I think your photo is the original bathroom, the one seen in MV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
