In the realm of high-end hospitality, it’s not unusual for guests to feel disillusioned upon arriving at their chosen establishment. The stunning visuals they encountered online might not accurately reflect reality, or an overly formal environment may dampen their holiday spirit.

This disappointment is nonexistent at Faena Hotel Miami Beach, which stands out unexpectedly. The imagery presented online portrays a vibrant hotel filled with thoughtful nuances, but the true allure reveals itself only when visitors experience it firsthand—allowing them to appreciate the intricate tapestry woven into every corner that fosters connection, curiosity, and celebration within this oceanfront sanctuary.

An integral part of Alan Faena's meticulously curated array of properties that celebrate art and hospitality, this 179-key hotel exudes both modern elegance and local charm. With contributions from visionary filmmakers Baz Luhrmann and Catherine Martin, who masterfully transformed this former Saxony Hotel from its 1940s context into a vivid blend of history with contemporary art and avant-garde fashion commitments.

For some guests, decor choices—ranging from striking red velvet to bold animal prints complemented by turquoise highlights—and an impressive collection featuring works like Damien Hirst's iconic gilded woolly mammoth might seem overwhelming. However, these daring decisions allow visitors to discover what general manager Said Haykal describes as “a distinct sanctuary for relaxation amid captivating aesthetics.”
