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 unique and unforgettable experience on our wedding night. The room was beautiful, spacious, and comfortable. All the staff were very attentive, especially Tania at the front desk and Luciano at breakfast. The breakfast was incredibly complete, delicious, and plentiful. Dinner at Gianni’s was lovely, with a special table by the pool and very attentive service. The only downside was the early morning noise from the garbage truck on the street behind the hotel.

Do yourself a favor and avoid staying at this place. I must say it is sad to see the former Versace mansion wilt in a state of disrepair, but that's the case. The current owner seems all to happy to avoid maintaining all the beautiful details. And when they did decide to fix up the place, such as in our bathroom, they chose the lowest quality fixtures with equally sloppy workmanship. Fixtures installed upside down, holes in the wall, etc etc. Oh, and that pool? Hope you like swimming in it while a hundred restaurant guests stare at you. Honestly, this is a cheesy restaurant with a couple afterthought hotel rooms above it. Don't waste your money. There are FAR nicer hotels on South Beach for the cost.

The service and food was impressive! I took my husband for his birthday and it was one of the best experiences, especially if you have an admiration for Gianni Versace. We felt his presence that’s for sure! Highly recommend! Talia the front desk manager bent over backwards to make our experience memorable! ❤️❤️

I stayed at this hotel for a few nights, excited but also feeling a bit unsure about what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised by the spacious room, which appears to retain original features. The views by the restaurant and the pool are incredible. The staff were all excellent, but I want to give a special mention and thank you to Talia. Talia made my stay truly special by arranging an itinerary, booking my restaurant reservations, and ensuring that I had a worry-free enjoyable experience. I look forward to visiting and staying again in the future.
