MGM+ has finally released the official trailer for Hotel Cocaine, an upcoming miniseries starring Danny Pino (Mayans M.C.) as Mutiny Hotel general manager Roman Compte. Set to arrive on June 16, the series will take place in an era when Miami’s drug trade was at its peak.
Hotel Cocaine, which hails from Narcos and Godfather of Harlem co-creators, will bring viewers back to the 1970s and 80s, centering on the notorious hotel in Miami, Florida, known for its rampant cocaine scene. It is also a hotel infamous for being the hangout place of the rich and famous at the time. Roman Compte serves as the man behind it all, who kept the place going in order to “fulfill his own American Dream.”
Per the official synopsis, “Hotel Cocaine is the story of Roman Compte, a Cuban exile and general manager of The Mutiny Hotel, the glamorous epicenter of the Miami cocaine scene of late ‘70s and early ‘80s. The Mutiny Hotel was Casablanca on cocaine. Businessmen, politicians, international narcos, CIA and FBI agents, models, sports stars, and musicians all frequented the hotel and its glitzy nightclub and restaurant.”
“Over the course of the season, Roman walks the tightrope between the DEA, who have his daughter’s fate in their hands, and his older brother Nestor, Miami’s biggest supplier of cocaine. Together, the pair face ruthless rival Colombian cocaine suppliers as the brothers ensure their drug domination in Miami and keep their families safe.”
