MIAMI Casa Casuarina—formerly the famed Versace Mansion, an exquisitely preserved 1930s mansion in the heart of Miami Beach—has reopened as an ultra-luxury boutique hotel, restaurant and event venue.
Gianni Versace's style and designs embellish the Mediterranean-style estate. Finished with Italian marble, mosaic tiles, European art and plush textiles, the hotel offers a private and unique experience to diners and guests.
Each of the 10 suites showcase rich and vibrant colors, a signature of fashion icon Versace, making every suite an individualized jewel box. With unique themed decor, each suite captures a different element of the mansion's beauty, from the carved marble baths, mosaic tiled floors and stained glass windows. King beds, luxury linens, wireless Internet, satellite radio, plasma televisions and Bose sound systems are customary for each suite.
Guests can also experience culinary delicacies from Loftin's 1116 Ocean at Casa Casuarina, the mansion's New American-inspired restaurant. Loftin's 1116 Ocean's signature dish is presented on a 250 million-year-old rare Himalayan salt block.
With al fresco seating within the front terrace, a central courtyard and stone-encrusted dining room, reservations can also be made to enjoy cocktails within the Tiffany bar, which overlooks the Versace designed Italian mosaic pool.
