There’s a book on the legacy of the hotel. Cool.

The Mutiny was nicknamed “Hotel Scarface” for the sheer amount of drug crime that was committed by its patrons. From the Miami Herald:
“So many people were telling you that ‘Scarface’ was based on them and then you realize there’s something to it,” Farzad said.
What Farzad found about that Bayshore Drive building through his research was a setting in which cocaine cowboys and the feds who were chasing them watched each other with a wary eye over steak and lobster and free-flowing Dom Pérignon. The Mutiny drew ’80s celebs like Philip Michael Thomas of “Miami Vice,” whose $30,000 per episode salary was pocket change compared to the dealers at the next table over.
“This hotel was the crossroads, the place where dealers and agents and smugglers and lawyers mixed after hours like the DMZ zone. … ‘Cocaine Cowboys’ came to be our fascination with that era, and Roben’s interest was piqued by that,” said Spellman, Farzad’s school chum at Highland Oaks Middle.
Things these days are a bit more PG:
