One of Brian's friends was passing this location, the so called Nam Kok hotel, when they were filming The World of Suzy Wong. The actress is actually Frances Nuyan, who was later replaced by Nancy Kwan, causing some problems in the final editing. (Andrew S)
I understand that the actress is Nancy Kwan, who replaced Frances Nuyan in May 1960. (Andrew)

Nam Kok Hotel - Luk Kwok Hotel
The fictional Nam Kok Hotel from the 1960 film The World of Suzie Wong was the Luk Kwok Hotel in Wan Chai, Hong Kong.
The 1930s building, located on Gloucester Road, was a 7-storey building that featured a famous harbour-side bar and nightclub.
It was a popular sailors and tourists spot, serving as a social focal location in both the novel and the 1960 film starring William Holden and Nancy Kwan.
