HOTEL SCARFACE

BY DENA STEWART

Before Miami Beach became known as the number one playground for “beautiful people” and a glamorous tourist destination, in the 1980s there was Coconut Grove and the decadent Mutiny Hotel. Based on exclusive interviews and never-before-seen documents, Roben Farzad tells the wild true story of the Mutiny Hotel in his book Scarface: Where Cocaine Cowboys Partied and Plotted to Control Miami.

Stewart and Roben talked at the Miami Book Fair in 2017. However, as history has a habit of repeating itself, even now what goes on in Miami is truly mind-boggling.
