MIAMI BEACH| The Versace Mansion Gets Barton G.'d
You've always been a fan of the Versace Mansion, and you've always wanted it to
succeed.
Yet the place has been plagued by instability and you never knew what you were getting
behind those wrought-iron gates.
All that's just changed: The Villa by Barton G. is now open, returning the fortress of
Italian swank back to its rightful place as South Beach's most opulent pleasure den.
First, let's get a few things straight. Event guru Barton G. Weiss has taken over the
entire castle-turned-hotel—from the $5,000-per-night suites to the Moroccan spa. But
we're guessing unless you're Oprah Winfrey reading this (and if you are, hey, Oprah,
what's up, girlfriend), you'll probably get most of your use out of the newly polished
restaurant, an indoor-outdoor Gothic mind-blower that the G. man has restored to its
former glory.
Grab that date you've been asking out for two years now (wearing people down is an
underrated form of seduction) and start off with a drink at the Tiffany bar overlooking the
pool (you know...the one tiled with 24-karat gold). If it's a nice night, you'll want to
proceed to the arched courtyard, where
you'll feast on luxe eats like Wagyu New York Strip and
Lobster With Lobster-Stuffed Tortellini. You know you're in a
special place when the lobster is stuffed with lobster.
