Hotel Casa Casuarina, the former Miami Beach home of fashion designer Gianni Versace, by halfmortimer |
Miami Beach. Fla.—What was once called the Versace Mansion, the 1930s estate that was home to the late fashion designer Gianni Versace, has opened its doors as a boutique suite hotel. The Casa Casuarina features 10 suites outfitted in the vibrant colors and rich textures that Italian designer incorporated into his clothing and accessory lines before his death in 1997.
Each suite has its own unique décor, but all designs are based on other architectural aspects of the Mediterranean-influenced estate. Rates, which start at $1,200 a night, pay for custom-made beds, satellite radio, plasma televisions, and views of the Atlantic Ocean.
For reservations, visit www.casacasuarina.com or call (305) 672-6604.— Hilary Solan
