You are of course correct. The hallway has new tile flooring and new lights but otherwise is identical. Thanks to Jose, the night manager of the Mayfair Hotel for guiding me to this location which had eluded me on previous trips. He was so very nice and helpful, a big fan of Miami Vice himself. One evening I went down to the desk and inquired if anyone was staying in this (Bandi's Room) He took the time to go up with me since it was unoccupied that night and let me in. Theses suites are unchanged since Vice filmed here confirming that the scene was in fact filmed at the Mayfair. However, Tubbs is seen approaching suite 453, the Myrtle Suite. After entering with Jose we quickly (with his expert knowledge of the hotel) figured out that the interior scene (of Bandi's room) was actually filmed across the hallway in Suite 454. When we first see Tubbs he is not emerging from a hallway or exterior courtyard. He is exiting the stairway at the west end of the building. He also directed me to the ballroom where they filmed the driver's party in Florence Italy. I was also able to get nice shots of where Bandi made his rooftop phone call. Thanks again JOSE. Tubbs enters, not the front door but a connector door between suites.
