The Villa Casa Casuarina, the former home of Gianni Versace, has been transformed into an elegant Miami Beach retreat. Built in 1930, the mansion has the designer's touch throughout, and is a mix of Spanish and Italian influences coupled with opulent details. The Ocean Drive manor-turned-boutique-hotel features just 10 suites showcasing rich and vibrant hues with only the finest of furnishings displayed. Lounge by the legendary mosaic pool or slip behind the curtain of a luxury beachfront cabana. Sunset cocktails are best enjoyed in the Observatory lounge overlooking the glistening Atlantic Ocean. Casa Casuarina also features a trio of sultry lounges including one for cigar aficionados. Guests can enjoy culinary specialties atop the upper terrace with views of the tropical gardens. The acclaimed fine dining establishment Loftin's 1116 Ocean, with its detailed stone mosaic, adds an element of drama to your meals. It is easy to envision the likes of Madonna or Elton John supping here during Versace's celebrated reign.

We had a majestic time. It was amazing to get a glimpse of what it was like to live like Gianni Versace for a weekend but our experience was made unforgettable because of the kindness and hospitality of the staff. Fiama was absolutely amazing. She made us feel like family immediately and made our stay absolutely wonderful. We will come here anytime we visit Miami. It is absolutely a welcome amazing experience instead of the standard SoBe hotel.

The place was stunning. Our room was simply breathtaking overlooking the pool. The only downfall was the stairs and no elevator where we stayed so it was hard to walk with heels on. The food was outstanding especially the breakfast the next morning. It was the best I have ever had and the fruit very fresh. It was a good value the noise level was high until about 11 pm. I would stay there again but request a lower floor. The only negative was the valet we had to drive blocks since they had the road blocked off and to pick up the car we had to walk blocks instead of in front of the hotel. It was a bit frustrating since we did not know this ahead of time. Had we been text or called it would have saved alot of frustration on how to proceed when we arrived.

What a wonderful experience and chance to spoil ourselves. Make sure you check out the observatory. The pool is stunning with is 24k mosaic tiles and got a sunrise swim with breakfast and dinner by the pool. Service was wonderful! The food was wonderful-- try the chocolate bomb 💣! Spending the night for all the extras was worth it.

We had an incredible stay at Casa Casuarina (the Versace Mansion). We stayed in Il Mar, Gianni’s Suite, and Venus, and every room was beautiful and spotless. You can really feel the history of the place, but it still feels comfortable and well taken care of. What really stood out was the staff. Everyone was so kind and genuinely helpful the whole time. Talia was especially amazing—super caring and always checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. Also, Luis and Juan at the front were a lifesaver with our luggage. They made everything so easy and stress-free. Overall, just an amazing experience. Definitely one of those places that feels special the entire time you’re there.
