"Miami Beach’s postcard aesthetic is, for better or worse, predictable: Art Deco curves, sun-faded pastel paint, perfectly landscaped palm trees. Yet the Faena Hotel Miami Beach – which has just received one of Michelin’s new Key awards – blows all of that convention clear out of the turquoise blue water. The U.S. outpost of Argentine hotelier Alan Faena’s eponymous concept, which launched in 2004 in Buenos Aires, is in a design class all its own. Its maximal, outré, conspicuous look isn’t for everyone, but even if its over-the-top visuals aren’t for you, they can still be appreciated." - Nick Remsen
