The Faena Effect: Where Luxury Meets Destiny

Inspiration

There’s something about Faena Hotels that feels like stepping into a living, breathing dream—bold, opulent, and brimming with possibility. Each property, a masterpiece in its own right, radiates its own distinct energy, pulling you in and refusing to let go. Believe me, I know this firsthand.

Faena Buenos Aires led me to a passionate affair with a Moroccan man. Faena Miami sparked a fiery connection with an Afghan. Now, Faena New York is calling, and I can’t wait to see who awaits in this den of Art Deco seduction!

With its Art Deco elegance, bold interiors, and signature blend of artistic flair and unparalleled luxury, it promises to be as enchanting as its predecessors. I can’t wait to see what — or who — awaits.

Each Faena property isn’t just a hotel. It’s an experience, a story waiting to be written. Whether you’re sipping cocktails at a gold-accented bar or losing yourself in the curated art, there’s a sense of magic in the air that’s uniquely Faena.

Faena Hotel Buenos Aires

In the heart of Puerto Madero, Buenos Aires’ trendiest district, lies the Faena Hotel—a vibrant masterpiece that redefines luxury. 

Recognized as one of Argentina’s top five hotels by Condé Nast readers, Faena is a feast for the senses. From the moment you step into the dramatic red-carpeted hallway with its striking black horsehair bench, you’re immersed in a world of whimsy and elegance, as described by Architectural Digest

Whether you’re indulging in world-class dining, sipping Malbec at the chic Library Lounge, or marveling at the avant-garde design, Faena Buenos Aires is more than a stay—it’s a journey into the city’s artistic and passionate soul.

Faena Miami Beach

Faena Miami Beach is where glamour meets the golden sands of the Atlantic, offering an unmatched blend of art, luxury, and relaxation. 

Nestled in the vibrant Faena District, this hotel is a haven of opulence, with its iconic gold-leafed lobby and jaw-dropping ocean views. Every corner is a celebration of bold design, from the whimsical Damien Hirst sculptures to the cinematic touches throughout. 

Indulge in Argentine-inspired cuisine at Los Fuegos by Francis Mallmann or unwind with a treatment at the serene Tierra Santa Healing House. 

At Faena Miami Beach, every moment feels like a curated masterpiece, designed to inspire and delight.

Faena New York

Hotel Chelsea’s reopening changed this neighborhood’s reputation as a place to be, and now Faena is coming in spring 2025. Known for high-style and a bit of drama, Faena brings its signature flair to Manhattan’s Chelsea with art-infused design overlooking the High Line. Expect whimsical touches in all of the 120 rooms, a Tierra Santa Healing House spa, and a buzzy nightlife scene—par for the course in Chelsea. This new addition is already at the top of my must-visit list for spring, and I can’t wait to experience the magic of Faena in the heart of New York City.

If you’re ready to create your own Faena story, I promise you, it will be one worth telling. Who knows what awaits—perhaps your own unforgettable encounter, or simply the pleasure of being swept away by the dreamlike atmosphere. 

Staying at a Faena Hotel is more than just a luxurious escape; it’s an opportunity to experience a unique blend of art, culture, and personalized service. Each property offers a chance to connect with something deeper — whether it’s a captivating artwork, a delicious meal, or a chance encounter with a fellow traveler. I’m excited to see what awaits at Faena New York and how this new chapter will further enrich the Faena experience.
