Villa Casa Casuarina At The Former Versace Mansion

South Beach, Miami

Virgin rating

The hotel

The best known property on Ocaen Drive has been transformed into a luxury boutique hotel, offering exclusivity, privacy, and obviously the chance to tell all of your friends that you’ve stayed in Versace’s home! Not only that, but it’s the second most 'Instagrammed' location in the USA – you can only imagine how much better it looks in person. With only 10 suites available, you’ll enjoy a personalised bespoke experience, with custom suites that have the designer touch. The most elaborate of all may be the 54ft long pool, which is said to be made from more than one million mosaic tiles, thousands of which are 24 carat gold. Be sure to make a reservation at the famous Gianni’s and enjoy gourmet Mediterranean dishes overlooking the spectacular pool. Just steps from the property you can enjoy more culture in Miami’s Art Deco district, plenty of shopping, and the famous South Beach. This really is a once in a lifetime holiday opportunity!

A very disappointing experience. We booked lunch, and their last seating slot is 3.30. The kitchen closes at 4pm and they start clearing the tables and moving the furniture at 4pm. We were served our main course, just a steak, no veges, salad etc. we asked for some veges, by the kitchen was closed. We then felt awkward sitting in the… Read more

We were served our main course, just a steak, no veges, salad etc. we asked for some veges, by the kitchen was closed. We then felt awkward sitting in the restaurant, as they were moving the furniture for supper, so moved to the bar to finish our meal. If you are looking for a nice restaurant, not a tourist slot for photos, don’t bother with this restaurant Read less

The Versace Mansion is an incredible experience. The rooms are magnificent. Guests get to see parts of the building no one else gets to see, like the observatory on the fourth floor. The 3 room bathroom in our suite was stunning, with a soft blue light and a shower big enough for two. Guests feel special when they get to go past the rope at… Read more
The Versace Mansion is an incredible experience. The rooms are magnificent. Guests get to see parts of the building no one else gets to see, like the observatory on the fourth floor. The 3 room bathroom in our suite was stunning, with a soft blue light and a shower big enough for two. Guests feel special when they get to go past the rope at the bottom of the stairs while diners watch them with envy. There was one huge negative to staying. The rooms all face the restaurant courtyard. The restaurant does not close until 10:30. If you want to sleep before 10:30 it is quite difficult. Read less

Very good service! I recommend to stay no more than 1 night, the room is ok but it's more for experiencing the place where Versace lived. We didn't like the food at all, neither breakfast or lunch. Over price for what we paid.

She called a Porter to bring my bag to my room. Then they serve a Fascinating tasty Breakfast! It was delicious! Michael made sure we had everything we needed. Food was fresh and hot. Our Mimosa’s was chilled to perfection. The entire staff was pleasant & quite accommodating. Natalia made sure I had everything needed poolside. I couldn’t have been happier. Our room was luxurious just like the pictures shown. My expectations were meet beyond excellence. Thank you to the entire staff once again. Stephanie & Antoinette went the extra mile for me that added a Top Tier level for me. I give this property a 10 star! Sincerely, Kimberly. Read less
