![]() In 1987, police stormed a party held at the Mutiny with 100 attendees. The Mutiny was depicted in the movie Scarface Goldberg refused to allow filming on the property, so it was recreated in West Palm Beach. In one famous 1980 incident, two men who were likely freebasers burned a bundle of cash and scrambled 10 floors down the balcony in an attempt to evade police. Ricardo "Monkey" Morales used it as an office, and one drug dealer, Carlos Fernando Quesada, had a private table. The Mutiny went from being the premier business hotel in the area to a "drug den" over the course of the 1980s, gaining a reputation as a preferred hotel of "cocaine cowboys". However, that ownership coincided with a dramatic decline in quality. The borrowers defaulted, Sunrise sank into receivership over a series of bad loans in 1985, and efforts began to sell the property. In 1983, a consortium of investors was loaned $13.5 million by the Sunrise Savings and Loan to buy the hotel, in part based on an appraisal that the hotel was worth $5 million more than it actually was. Hotel rooms were themed, including the Bordello Room, Gypsy Caravan, and Hot Fudge. During the 1970s and 1980s the clientele included athletes, Hollywood celebrities, and musicians, including Led Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac, and Crosby & Nash, whose song "Mutiny" on their Whistling Down the Wire album is a tribute to this hotel it drew comparisons to Studio 54. The Mutiny name was first associated with a private club on the property opened in 1971. The apartments were converted to hotel units in 1976. In constructing the complex, described as Coconut Grove's first high-rise, 100 coral boulders were shipped from west Dade County. Sailboat Bay was built by Burton Goldberg in the Coconut Grove Historic District in 1968 as a 105-suite apartment building costing $3.5 million. We would love to stay again!
