“One of the most beautiful hotels I've stayed in”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 24, 2012

We have always wanted to stay here and finally the stars aligned. The building with all of its history and art work is like being in a private museum. Every suite is has its own unique style and theme (considering it was a private residence at one time). We enjoyed relaxing out in the patio/pool/garden area with all the mosaics and statues.The staff was 5 star and accommodated all of our needs. The best description is a quote from the manager "It feels like you are in a friends home....an extremely wealthy friend that is.

Room Tip: Rooms in the back of the Ocean Drive are more quiet and private.

“Breath-taking opulence”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 18, 2012

I attended a corporate function, so it's hard to judge the food, which was excellent but served buffet-style. It was the building and a tour of the rooms that were breath-taking. I've never seen beds as big! and tremendous attention to detail. The pool was partially covered but gorgeous.

“Took my breath away.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 2, 2012

What can I say. This was my first 5 Star experience. Felt like we transformed into another world. Service was unbelievable. Couldn't ask for any more! We arrived and were not rushed into dinner. We had an early seating and were allowed to take in the beauty of the night and experience from the moment we arrived until the after dinner tour. We then sat down by the beautiful pool and took all our pictures and never felt rushed or watched. When we left everyone was so pleasant in thanking us for coming by for dinner.

Thank you.

“Inside Versace's home...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 2, 2012

Beautiful decoration, great service - a lovely way to dine in South Beach!

A very private and romantic setting!

We made our reservations, before leaving Switzerland and the date and hour were reconfirmed by the Hotel staff. Unfortunately, we didn't stay there.

“Over the top”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 25, 2012

We wined and dined with a business group. The staff was very friendly and very knowledgeable on the history. We had cocktails poolside and dinner on the third floor. Excellent dinner and to die for desserts. Unfortunately no tours of rooms which is understandable. Hope to come back for a romantic weekend in the future.
