If you want to enjoy Miami Beach to the max, The Villa by Barton G is the premier place to stay. From the beach street entrance, the tropically landscaped palazzo is elegant and understated. However, one is immediately alerted to the fact that this a special edifice, by the tourists; taking pictures of the entrance to Gianni Versace's mansion. As... More

We have always wanted to stay here and finally the stars aligned. The building with all of its history and art work is like being in a private museum. Every suite is has its own unique style and theme (considering it was a private residence at one time). We enjoyed relaxing out in the patio/pool/garden area with all the mosaics... More

I attended a corporate function, so it's hard to judge the food, which was excellent but served buffet-style. It was the building and a tour of the rooms that were breath-taking. I've never seen beds as big! and tremendous attention to detail. The pool was partially covered but gorgeous.

What can I say. This was my first 5 Star experience. Felt like we transformed into another world. Service was unbelievable. Couldn't ask for any more! We arrived and were not rushed into dinner. We had an early seating and were allowed to take in the beauty of the night and experience from the moment we arrived until the after... More

Beautiful decoration, great service - a lovely way to dine in South Beach! A very private and romantic setting! We made our reservations, before leaving Switzerland and the date and hour were reconfirmed by the Hotel staff. Unfortunately, we didn't stay there.

We wined and dined with a business group. The staff was very friendly and very knowledgeable on the history. We had cocktails poolside and dinner on the third floor. Excellent dinner and to die for desserts. Unfortunately no tours of rooms which is understandable. Hope to come back for a romantic weekend in the future.

I was greeted and acknowledged by several guest services personnell. I was escorted to the signature suite which was filled with all the elegance I had anticipated, not to mention... More

ARRIVAL I admit I felt a little like a celebrity as I politely edged my way through the small cameraed crowd. A man in a suit smiled professionally as he opened the iron gate for my husband and me. Seconds ago, we had been in the cheap glitz of Miami, where even in the daytime, sequins sparkle and loud music... More

The Villa by Barton G is not really a hotel, not really a B&B, but more like staying with friends in an exquisite, exclusive, beach front "Villa" with no questions asked service and attention-to-detail unmatched. Everything about this place is unique and cannot adequately be described in writing. A word of advice for people wishing to spend time here -... More
