World-famous Ocean Drive is one of the most photographed stretches of Miami Beach. Here we find, nestled among low-rise Art Deco hotels, Villa Casa Casuarina – better known as the Versace Mansion, the former Miami Beach home of fashion designer Gianni Versace. The Versace mansion is the third most photographed house in the United States behind Elvis’ Graceland and the White House. The Mediterranean Revival style palace, lined with the designer’s signature Greek mythology Medusa logo in gold bas relief, has been the subject of fascination for locals and tourists alike on Ocean Drive ever since Gianni Versace’s untimely murder on its front steps in 1997 at age 50. What many tourists don’t realize is that the former home of late fashion designer Gianni Versace is not a museum or private home but a boutique hotel. It’s a hotel where guests can sleep in what was Versace’s bedroom or in the bedroom of his sister Donatella. Today, Casa Casuarina has 10 luxurious suites plus a restaurant and bar. Access to Versace’s sumptuous world can be gained by booking a room or by booking a table at the restaurant Gianni’s for lunch or dinner in the courtyard by the pool or in the dining room served on Versace-designed Rosenthal china. The restaurant Gianni's offers a three-course lunch special everyday from 11AM-3:30PM for $38/person! Take a tour of the Versace mansion here. Don't miss out on this unique and unforgettable South Beach experience – it's where luxury meets fun in the sun!
