Casa Casuarina Versace mansion

From Yenra

Announced February 13, 2009, Casa Casuarina, the Versace mansion, an exquisitely preserved 1930s mansion located in the heart of Miami Beach, is now open as an ultra-luxury boutique hotel, restaurant and premier event venue. Each of these showcase the mansion's classic Gianni Versace style and designs that embellish the Mediterranean-styled estate. The hotel is embellished with Italian marble, mosaic tiles, European art and plush textiles.

The luxury hotel's ten suites are inked in the rich and vibrant colors signature of the fashion icon, Gianni Versace. With themed decor, each suite captures a different element of the mansion's beauty from the carved marble baths and mosaic tiled floors, to the lavish stained glass windows. Each luxury suite features custom-made ultra king beds, luxury linens, wireless Internet, satellite radio, plasma televisions and Bose sound systems.

Loftin's 1116 Ocean at Casa Casuarina is the mansion's New-American inspired restaurant. With beautiful first courses and salads, two pound lobsters, hearty prime cuts of beef, rack of lamb and simply prepared, eight ounce portions of fish and prawns, with the signature dish presented on a 250-million-year-old Himalayan salt block. With al fresco seating within the front terrace, a central courtyard and stone-encrusted dining room, reservations can also be made to enjoy cocktails within the Tiffany bar, which overlooks the Versace designed Italian mosaic pool.
