Hotel Scarface: Where Cocaine Cowboys Partied and Plotted to Control Miami

The wild, true story of the Mutiny, the hotel and club that embodied the decadence of Miamiâ€™s cocaine cowboys heydayâ€”and an inspiration for the blockbuster film, Scarface...

In the seventies, coke hit Miami with the full force of a hurricane, and no place attracted dealers and dopers like Coconut Groveâ€™s Mutiny at Sailboat Bay. Hollywood royalty, rock stars, and models flocked to the hotelâ€™s club to order bottle after bottle of Dom and to snort lines alongside narcos, hit men, and gunrunners, all while marathon orgies burned upstairs in elaborate fantasy suites.
Â
Amid the boatloads of powder and cash reigned the new kings of Miami: three waves of Cuban immigrants vying to dominate the trafficking of one of the most lucrative commodities ever known to man. But as the kilosâ€”and bodiesâ€”began to pile up, the Mutiny became target number one for law enforcement.
Â
Based on exclusive interviews and never-before-seen documents, Hotel Scarface is a portrait of a city high on excess and greed, an extraordinary work of investigative journalism offering an unprecedented view of the rise and fall of cocaineâ€”and the Mutinyâ€”in Miami.
