And finally, you can actually live in the grandeur of late Gianni Versace! Miami-based restaurateur Barton G. Weiss has turned the beachfront villa into a beautiful 10-room hotel. The Villa by Barton G has all the modern amenities, and you can spot Versace fabrics all over. The entrance greets you with a pool and terrace tiled in thousands of colorful mosaics, fountains, frescoes, and a stained glass Roman palazzo style. The Dining Room provides for a very modern European menu that too served on Versace china.
The rooms include a Medallion Suite giving a view of striking mosaics; the Venus Suite has two dedicated balconies overlooking the ocean drive and the Villa Suite. The Villa Suite, Versace’s original bedroom comes with a nine-foot bed, two balconies, and seven closets, and customized bath fittings. The room prices start at $2,100.
