The Villa in Miami Beach is a flamboyant hotel with questionable morals that thrives on decadence of the highest order.
EXPERIENCE
When a Mediterranean-inspired architect (Barton G.), an outrageous fashion designer (Versace), and an image obsessed city (that'd be Miami) collide, they create The Villa. Only this volatile combination of design and passion could produce such an ostentatious residence.
The 10 paint box colored suites dotted around the internal courtyard of this members-only hotel, once the Versace Hotel, are in Italian, Persian, Egyptian, Wedgewood, or Baroque style, and include ornate furnishings that wouldn't look out of place in a Tim Burton movie. The caviar and cigar lounges, cocktail bar, and outdoor pool treat expensive luxuries like an everyday occurrence and make guests wonder how they existed without them.
Bask on the white sand beach with other vacationers or play cards in the shade of The Villa's private beach cabanas. Once your tan's perfected, dip into Miami to finish your look at slinky designer boutiques and visit spaceship-like hair salons.

LOCATION
Smack on the South Beach seafront, The Villa is sauntering distance from the busy bars and restaurants that spill out from the area's iconic Art Deco buildings. 15 minutes from the I-95 Interstate and 20 minutes from the Miami International airport, the hotel is well served by fast transport connections.
