Nestled along Miami Beach, the Faena Hotel dazzles with opulent Art Deco rooms, eclectic dining, and whimsical art, including a golden mammoth skeleton.
"Faena Hotel Miami Beach, Florida has been awarded two keys." - Stacey Lastoe
"Click below to jump to each distinction: Three Keys Two Keys One Key." - The MICHELIN Guide
"The Faena District occupies an eight-block stretch of prime oceanfront real estate. There are condominium towers, a high-end design bazaar, and a cultural center, but for the moment, the knock-out highlight is the hotel. Alan Faena enlisted a dream team of designers, including architect Rem Koolhaas, to bring his fantasies to life, and the result is fanciful indeed." - Mark Fedeli
"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
"The Faena Hotel Miami Beach is a Two Key hotel in Florida, recognized for its outstanding design and unique aesthetic. This hotel stands out with its maximal, outré, conspicuous look that may not be for everyone but is certainly appreciated for its artistic value. The entrance features paneled murals by artist Juan Gatti, depicting the Faena’s mythology. The hotel's crown jewel is a monumental artwork by Damien Hirst called "Gone But Not Forgotten," a gold-plated wooly mammoth skeleton. The hotel also features works by Tracey Emin and Argentine artist Amaya Bouquet, and offers a luxurious penthouse with an ocean-spanning outdoor deck. The Faena Hotel Miami Beach is renowned for its world-class luxury and distinctive design, offering guests a fantasy release unlike anything seen before." - Nick Remsen
