Amsterdam Palace is the Versace Mansion in Miami Beach, Florida. The mansion is an art deco building near Ocean Drive. The mansion is visible through the iron gate and tall hedges. In 1992, Versace bought the old mansion in order to restore it. He held numerous parties there with a guest list like Madonna and Elton John. Unfortunately, Versace was only the owner of the mansion until 1997. In 1997, he was killed on the steps of the mansion by Andrew Cunanan.
In 2000 the mansion was bought by a telecommunication guru. He turned the mansion into the Amsterdam Palace. Today it is a members-only mansion for partying. Often in the evenings tourists will hover around the gate hoping to see a famous individual or two.
The mansion still has its art deco looks with the inner courtyard and Spanish style construction. Though it is most well known as Versace's Mansion it was built in the 1930s by Alden Freeman. Versace did add a few things to the mansion like the pool of 10,000 mosaics. This is supposedly untouched. It is impossible to see the inside of the mansion unless one has enough influence for a membership, but the outside can be viewed.
