The hotel
The best known property on Ocean 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!

The entire visit was great. The customer service was outstanding. I wish they would have had more of a versace theme. The bed set was the only versace item in the room. That’s just a personal request. I will definitely will be visiting again. Franchesca was amazing, when we were in the pool. She was very attentive and will always check in; eve thought, she had her own tables. Night security was amazing and attentive. The breakfast crew was amazing and knew our order by the send night. One morning we woke up late and the crew was so kind to offer room service! Read less
Best Botique hotel , hands down.

This is such an amazing place . It’s like being able to stay in a museum. There are many statues and works of art . I’m guessing all this was left by Mr Versace himself. The furniture was custom made and extremely expensive looking . Many details that I’ve never seen before in a Botique hotel . Thank you for keeping this open to the public.
Wonderful experience

As a solo traveler, my stay at The Villa Casa Casuarina in Miami Beach was unforgettable. The staff were incredibly friendly and made me feel right at home from the moment I arrived. I enjoyed breakfast each morning by the pool with excellent service. A truly welcoming experience in a stunning setting!
Great experience

I know there are some poor reviews for this restaurant, but I could honestly say we had a great experience! The restaurant is really lovely and the set menu at 38 dollars is brilliant value and the food was very nice. If you are a Versace fan then ignore the critical reviews and go for it! We didn't stay so can't comment on accommodation.

Reviewing The Villa Casa Casuarina, forever etched in my memory as The Versace Mansion, feels like an impossible task. How does one do justice to an experience of a lifetime? From the moment I held the brass key in my hand, I knew this was no ordinary stay. Greeted by my personal valet—butler (titles blur when service transcends expectations)—I found my bags unpacked, my clothes beautifully hung, and my every need anticipated. The mansion itself is a masterpiece. By day, the grounds exude magic, each corner brimming with beauty and history. By night, the lighting transforms the property into an epic romance—soft glows and shadows creating an almost dreamlike atmosphere. The bar, adorned with 14-karat gold inlaid floor tiles, is a sparkling indulgence, while the interior architecture is nothing short of breathtaking. Every room is a revelation. The 12-foot-wide bed draped in red satin, a favorite of Elton John and Paul McCartney, was a sanctuary of luxury. Arriving to find a chocolate choo-choo train laden with treats in my room was an unexpected delight. The living room, rich in detail and comfort, was impossible to leave, as was the magnificent bathroom with its exquisite showers—every element designed to pamper and inspire awe. Dining at The Villa Casa Casuarina is a sensory journey. Seated on the patio surrounded by the romance of fountains, the soft hum of music, and an array of savory creations that redefine perfection, I was immersed in an ambiance of pure enchantment. The service, flawless and attentive, elevated the experience to heavenly heights. The Villa Casa Casuarina is not just a place to stay; it’s a world unto itself—a symphony of history, luxury, and artistry. Even after days of reflecting on my visit, I know I’ve only scratched the surface. It was, in every way, an experience of a lifetime. Read less
