A new chapter in Miami Beach’s rich history begins as Donatella Boutique Hotel and Restaurant prepare to open in May. The sister property to the iconic Versace Mansion (now ‘The Villa Casa Casuarina’), Donatella Boutique Hotel & Restaurant channels the same timeless elegance and allure. This project is brought to life by the Nakash Group, whose portfolio includes The Setai Miami Beach and the Versace Mansion, in partnership with Vida & Estilo Hospitality Group of South Beach.
Located in the heart of Miami Beach’s iconic Art Deco district at 1350 Collins Ave, Donatella Boutique Hotel artfully blends historic charm with contemporary elegance. Originally designed by renowned architect Wallace Tutt – famed for creating the iconic Versace Mansion in 1922 – the Donatella property has been integral to South Beach’s evolution into a world-class destination. Having undergone several transformations over the decades, the property was acquired in 2022 by the Nakash family and Vida & Estilo Hospitality, ushering in a new era of luxury and cultural significance for this historic site.
With interiors designed by Mico Design Studio and just six exquisitely furnished rooms, guests are invited to immerse themselves in an ambiance that marries old-world elegance with modern sophistication.As part of the Donatella Boutique Hotel experience, the hotel’s signature restaurant will be a breathtaking Coastal Southern Italian restaurant, debuting within the historic and sophisticated property.
Led by Executive Chef Alessandro Morrone, the Donatella Restaurant menu celebrates Italy’s culinary heritage with traditional dishes crafted from scratch using fresh, authentic ingredients and a rotating selection of seasonal produce. The menu will include artisanal pastas, such as Linguine alle Vongole, Black Truffle Cacio e Pepe, and Risotto Frutti di Mare, alongside elevated main courses, such as Wagyu Ribeye, Dover Sole, and Skull Island Prawns. With seating for up to 170 guests and a private dining room accommodating 15, Donatella Restaurant promises an exceptional setting for unforgettable dining experiences.
