MIAMI

THE VILLA BY BARTON G, A BOUTIQUE HOTEL ESTABLISHED IN 2009 IN THE PALATIAL FORMER HOME OF GIANNI VERSACE, WAS RELAUNCHED IN MARCH AFTER A REFIT THAT SAW THE ADDITION OF 10 SUMPTUOUS SUITES. OWNER BARTON G WEISS HAS ALSO ADDED IL SOLE, A FINE-DINING RESTAURANT SERVING ITALIAN DELICACIES IN A VIBRANT MEDITERRANEAN ATMOSPHERE. GUESTS CAN BOOK SUITES RANGING FROM 500 TO 1,600 SQUARE FEET—INCLUDING VERSACE’S 1,174SQFT MASTER BEDROOM, COMPLETE WITH DOUBLE-KING-SIZED BED, TWO PRIVATE BALCONIES AND AN OPULENT MOSAIC SHOWER. EXPECT NO LESS THAN THE MOST DECADENT OF DECOR AND FEATURES, FROM FRESCOES IN THE SUITES TO THE “THOUSAND MOSAIC SWIMMING POOL” LINED WITH 24K GOLD—JUST WHAT YOU’D EXPECT FROM A MANSION ONCE OWNED BY THE OVER-THE-TOP VERSACE.
