context_page_description: The World of Suzie Wong is a 1957 novel by British writer Richard Mason. The main characters are Robert Lomax, a young British artist living in Hong Kong, and Suzie Wong, the title character, a Chinese woman who works as a prostitute. The novel has been adapted into a play and spawned two unofficial sequels, a film, and a ballet.
context_section_description: The Nam Kok Hotel featured in the story is based on the Luk Kwok Hotel (Chinese: 香港六國酒店; Jyutping: hoeng1 gong2 luk6 gwok3 zau2 dim3; pinyin: Xiānggǎng Liù Guó Jiǔdiàn) on Gloucester Road in Wan Chai, where Mason stayed, although the building is now more modern, the site having been redeveloped in the 1980s. Also, unlike the hotel in the book, the modern hotel is not a brothel, but is one of many small smart hotels on Hong Kong Island.
