A New Versace Hotel Is Coming To Miami
The name Versace has long been associated with Miami, and beginning next month, Donatella Versace will open Donatella Boutique Hotel and Donatella Restaurant—sister properties to the iconic Versace Mansion—in the heart of Miami Beach’s Art Deco District. The hotel features just six rooms (starting at around $450 a night) and the on-site restaurant will serve Southern Italian cuisine. “Every element of Donatella’s architecture,” Jamil Dib, co-founder and owner of Vida & Estilo Hospitality Group, told Forbes.com, “was created to stir nostalgia, romance, and a sense of place far from home.” |

Travel Wise

And while the new regulation is 20 years in the making, most states are not yet compliant with the requirements for new driver’s licenses and state IDs. Travelers without a REAL ID-compliant identification should “expect additional screenings” that may lead to “delays and the possibility of not being allowed into the checkpoint, and that includes our TSA PreCheck passengers,” a senior official at TSA told Forbes, adding that 80% of TSA PreCheck members have a passport. |
