More about this place
Faena Hotel Miami Beach is a bold, theatrical hotel that redefines luxury through art, drama, and over-the-top design. Created by Argentine hotelier Alan Faena, it's a space where gold-leaf columns, Damien Hirst’s woolly mammoth, and red velvet grandeur set the stage for a one-of-a-kind Miami experience.
Beyond the looks, Faena delivers with a private beach, a world-class spa, immersive cabaret shows, and curated cultural programming. Its restaurants, like Los Fuegos and Pao, are helmed by celebrated chefs, making it a dining destination as much as a stay.
Accommodations include opulent oceanfront suites, rooms adorned with rich jewel tones, and expansive penthouses—all designed to impress. Each room feels cinematic, with custom furniture, striking artwork, and floor-to-ceiling windows.
