The World of Suzie Wong's Ltd's night club, bar and restaurant and the Tonnochy Ballroom (first floor) were all located at 6 Tonnochy Road. Cannot find an address for the Tonnochy Hotel but the photo posted shows that it was located in the same building. That said, the Tonnochy Ballroom's matchbox label does not indicate that it was associated with the hotel.

Comparing 1950s photo with this 1964 photo, the 1964 World of Suzie Wong's Ltd's night club looked more "oriental". In the 1950s, the site was occupied by the Tonnochy ballroom. It may have something to do with the 1960 film World of Suzie Wong in order to attract attention.
