Barton G's latest venture: The Villa by Barton G.


He's Miami top event's caterer, has Barton G-The Restaurant on West ave for the last 8 years, has Prelude restaurant at the Adrienne Arsht Center and now his latest venture, The Villa by Barton G.

Barton G. Weiss transformed the former Casa Casuarina, to its splendor, when Gianni Versace lived there. The Villa will be South Florida's most exclusive boutique hotel, restaurant and venue. Room rates start at around $2,000 per night, if available.

During our recent tour of the mansion, our tour guide gave us tidbits of the Versace heyday, of where Madonna stayed, Elton John's room, and where Donatella brushed her hair. Actually quite amusing.

The place is a landmark!!!
