HOTEL SUMMARY
Where cinematic vision meets beachfront luxury, Faena Hotel Miami Beach transforms the historic 1948 Saxony Hotel into Miami's most theatrical luxury destination, commanding a pristine stretch of Miami Beach with bold artistic flair and immersive cultural experiences that redefine contemporary hospitality. Argentine visionary Alan Faena, who revolutionized Buenos Aires hospitality, partnered with Academy Award-winning filmmaker Baz Luhrmann and designer Catherine Martin to create this extraordinary Miami luxury hotel. Opening in December 2015 after a lavish renovation, the property anchors the ambitious Faena District—a cultural quarter spanning 32nd to 36th Streets. The hotel has earned recognition as a Leading Hotels of the World member, with its dramatic "Cathedral" entrance featuring original gold-leafed columns, floor-to-ceiling murals by renowned Argentine artist Juan Gatti, and an intricate mosaic floor crafted from 632,000 tiles. Damien Hirst's 24-karat gold-encased woolly mammoth skeleton serves as the property's breathtaking centerpiece, establishing Faena's commitment to merging hospitality with high art. The hotel's 179 spacious accommodations span 21 distinctive categories, each embodying retro-glamour through Art Deco touches, signature Faena red velvet, and golden accents designed by Martin's creative team. Faena Hotel Miami Beach suites feature hardwood floors, animal-print ottomans, coral-fashioned lamps, and seashell-encrusted details that create an immersive theatrical experience. Cool blue bathroom tiles complement travertine countertops and high-tech Toto toilets, while many rooms offer endless Atlantic Ocean views from stark-white balconies adorned with gilded chairs. Each floor provides dedicated butler service at the touch of a button, while experience managers ensure seamless arrival and departure arrangements. Culinary excellence defines the Faena experience, with Los Fuegos delivering Argentine-inspired cuisine that reflects the property's cultural heritage. The exclusive Faena Playa beach club spans 100,000 square feet of pristine white sand, while the palm-lined pool area remains reserved for hotel guests. The 22,000-square-foot Tierra Santa Healing House offers South American-inspired wellness treatments, featuring a coed wet room, ice room, herbal steam room, waterfall therapy alcove, and traditional hammam. Saxony Bar provides sophisticated cocktails with live DJ entertainment, while the Living Room offers intimate gatherings with nightly live performances.
