CASA ¡HOLA! at Donatella continues to establish itself as one of Miami’s premier gathering spaces, bringing together culture, music, entertainment, and business in a setting that celebrates the best of the Latin community. Against the backdrop of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, our latest edition embraced the theme “Latin Flavor of the World Cup,” highlighting the spirit of teamwork, connection, and celebration that defines the world’s biggest sporting event.
As always, the evening took place at the iconic Donatella Boutique Hotel & Restaurant in the heart of South Beach. The elegant venue welcomed an exceptional group of guests in partnership with Casamigos, the globally recognized premium tequila and mezcal brand founded by actor George Clooney, entrepreneur Rande Gerber, and real estate developer Mike Meldman.
We were also proud to continue our partnership with We Are 26 Miami, the official campaign and brand of the Miami Host Committee for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The initiative represents the city’s preparations, local events, and celebrations as Miami gets ready to host the world’s biggest sporting tournament.
A celebration of soccer and Latin pride
With the tournament nearing the end of its group stage, the excitement surrounding the World Cup continues to build. Guests proudly wore jerseys representing Colombia, Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, Mexico, the United States, and many other nations, creating a colorful display that perfectly reflected the evening’s spirit. Different countries, one shared passion for soccer.
This edition of CASA ¡HOLA! was hosted by one of the entertainment world’s most beloved newlywed couples, Gabriel Coronel and Daniela Ospina, who welcomed friends and special guests throughout the evening. Among them was Janelle Prieto, Marketing and Community Director for the Miami Host Committee of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The evening began with a welcome toast presented by María Claudia Garrido, Business Development Director at Diageo, on behalf of Johnnie Walker. Her remarks set the tone for a night dedicated to celebrating new beginnings, meaningful connections, and the power of music.
Guests also heard from Matías Pesce, CEO of Donatella Boutique Hotel & Restaurant and Vida y Estilo Group, a strategic partner of CASA ¡HOLA!, whose inspiring words reflected the leadership and vision behind the collaboration. Throughout the evening, guests enjoyed beautifully prepared cuisine, premium spirits, and the warm hospitality that has become the hallmark of CASA ¡HOLA! gatherings.
Also in attendance were Christi Fraga, Mayor of Doral, and Lina Luaces, former Miss Cuba, who spent the evening mingling with guests and adding even more energy and elegance to the celebration.
A night of unforgettable performances
The night’s musical lineup showcased some of Latin music’s most exciting talent.
Kobi Cantillo has established himself as one of Venezuela’s most versatile singer-songwriters. His latest hit, Está Bien Sentirse Mal, with PARDOPARDO, transforms vulnerability into strength, delivering an uplifting message of honesty, resilience, and hope.
The stage was then taken over by acclaimed Venezuelan singer-songwriter Santander, whose songwriting credits include hits for artists such as Thalía, Alejandro Sanz, Carlos Vives, Enrique Iglesias, and Ozuna. Among his best-known songs are Princesa, Puedo Ser Yo, A Contratiempo, and Bajo 0.
Santander signed with Universal Music Latin early in his career and contributed as a songwriter to Fonseca’s Latin GRAMMY-winning album Tropicalia, which received the award for Best Contemporary Tropical Album, all before the age of 23.
Closing out the evening was host Gabriel Coronel, who took the stage with his signature charisma and dynamic performance style. Blending pop and urban influences, he recently released songs including Ángel Sin Alas (2026), Ya Solté featuring Chico Castillo, and Chamita alongside Nacho.
Known for his successful career as an actor and television host, Gabriel is embracing music once again with renewed artistic maturity. His latest work reflects a desire to connect with longtime fans while reaching new audiences across the Latin music scene.
Once again, CASA ¡HOLA! at Donatella reaffirmed what has become its signature: an elegant gathering where luxury feels effortless, culture and creativity come together naturally, and every edition creates lasting connections while capturing the very best of Miami’s vibrant social scene.
