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 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! ❤️❤️

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.

Daniela the front desk was beyond helpful, since day one she had me taking care of with everything I needed, she was just amazing with informations, getting to my room even stepping out of her desk to show me around. I asked for beach chairs and even tho she was off work that morning my chairs were ready for me, what a professionalism, sadly I could not say buy on my check out what an amazing employee.
Joshue the night crew and even during the day what an amazing employee brought me water at the pool, in my room helped with my luggage's even I believe that’s not his job and the language barrier was not a problem for him.
Last the 2 ladies that cleaned my room what a ladies what a help.
Overall I had blass - all this people made my stay so much better and so much enjoyable. Defiantly will come back and stay here. Love this place!

The staff here was absolutely amazing especially Daniela at the front desk and Chris in the restaurant. Everyone made me feel like family and went out of their way to accommodate me. The whole hotel was very private and everyday was a VIP experience.
