As a Miami resident, I was familiar with the “Versace Mansion” as a little girl and remember wanting to live there upon seeing it for the first time: little did I know this was Gianni Versace’s home. I reserved two nights to celebrate my birthday there last summer. My expectations were exceeded. Not only is the villa a gorgeous home, the maintenance and upgrades to the hotel really showcase the efforts on behalf of the owners who truly give you a sense of luxury but make you feel welcome. Given it is a former residence, I almost felt like an intruder but that staff and their service really give you that sense of belonging and comfort. I’ve never been to a hotel with such a friendly staff (I’ve stayed at 5-star resorts multiple times). The service was out of this world and I absolutely felt luxe in “deluxe.” I’d highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a change of scenery.

Our stay at the Versace mansion was a dream! Every aspect of our stay was remarkable. The grounds are stunning and the rooms are luxurious. The bed was so comfortable and the shower room was something out of a dream. The breakfast that is included in the stay was so tasty and having it poolside in the calm of the morning was perfection. Our stay here truly was an all-around 5-star experience. If you’re in search of a stay that offers opulence, majesty, and beauty look no further.

The hotel is iconic, the food is good. The first night I sleep well and it was peaceful. However the second night I had to call the staff due to noise that was actually being made by hotel staff. Shortly after I had to call again. Over the evening I had made 9 calls in total to the staff where the eventually just stopped picking up the phone. The noise was obnoxiously loud and in no way a normal situation as far as employees of a hotel doing their regular jobs all throughout the night. I’ve stayed at countless high end hotels and this was a first. The following day after several phone calls to the front requesting to speak with a manager I finally got in touch with her. I offered audio and video recording that I had taken to document the situation. She said that she would investigate and get back with me about what she could do. Long story short she offered me a upgrade if I paid the rate Of almost $1,000 a night. At this point. My tab was around $3500 with room charges etc. the manager basically just stopped responding and has not reached out to me to rectify the situation. USE CAUTION IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING BOOKING A ROOM HERE!

One if the most memorable trips of my lifetime! The staff is wonderful and I enjoyed being their guest. The food and drinks were fantastic. I loved breakfast. I loved the mansion. I loved the Venus Suite. Each room is more beautiful than the last and I cannot wait to return!!!

Together with my wife I came to this outstanding hotel where Gianni Versace once lived. The hotel’s architecture remembers an alcazar and is located on Ocean Drive. All rooms are individual and we had a beautiful suite overlooking the Ocean. The restaurant Gianni’s is such a lively and fashionable place.It’s like in a movie and an absolute must if you come to Miami!

We wanted to try an exciting hotel in Miami so we chose the former Versace Mansion. We stayed in Elton John's room.. I guess. It was very cool and everything I imagined it be. So over the top haha. I would stay again and try a different room. Breakfast was yummy too!

Absolutely loved it but really was ruined by the music. I was expecting to feel extremely Versace and Italian but the music felt like was just playing hot hits on Spotify was really disappointing and ruined the experience. The service was amazing the food was great. I just wouldn’t rush back as it didn’t feel like I was in the Versace mansion felt like a common bar.

My first booking for three nights didn't get any response when I asked about room types. So, I changed it to just one night, which was enough. Some staff were nice, but others didn't seem to care much. The mansion's original furniture has been replaced with some questionable pieces. At $1000 per night, you'd expect better service, like AC concierge or turndown services. My room had too many pillows and curtains that I had to attend to myself. If you're interested in the Gianni Versace mansion, go for it, but not all rooms have his style, and some might be more basic. Don't expect lux service.

The lunch at Gianni's at The Villa Casa Casuarina and it was excellent. The whole experience was first class. The villa is beautiful and the atmosphere was excellent. The fixed price ($38) lunch menu is excellent value for money and offers a varied choice of dishes. Our experience was made all the better by our brilliant waitress Laura. I can highly recommend Gianni's.
