Casa Casuarina

Then: Opened as an opulent apartment complex in 1930, this Mediterranean-revival landmark was bought by Gianni Versace in 1992 and served as the Italian designer’s private pleasure palace until he was shot to death outside its ornate front gate in 1997.

Now: Versace’s extravagant embellishments – including pool, garden, and south wing additions – now entertain those connected enough to get a personal invitation to this 10-suite, members-only social club in Miami Beach. Versace’s former bedroom is now the Italian Suite.
