Faena Hotel Buenos Aires, set in a historic building in the fashionable port area of Puerto Madero, is the ultimate in luxury and cutting edge design. Conceived by Argentine fashion designer Alan Faena and designed by the legendary Philippe Starck, it is undoubtedly the most unique and most talked about hotels in Buenos Aires, receiving rave reviews from press around the world.
Faena's luxurious guest rooms and opulent living areas have been stylishly designed and infused with the romance and decadence of La Belle Epoque, whilst remaining undoubtedly modern, even minimalist. Rooms and suites feature plush red velvet drapes, remote conntrol blinds, flat screen smart televisions, giant sleigh beds facing vast windows that look out over the city skyline or the River Plate, flat screen televisions and contemporary glass walled bathrooms with Dolby surround speakers.
Faena epitomises design chic in every detail, from the reception-free foyer to the carefully thought-out position of the beds. Treat yourself to a day of pampering in exquisite luxury and sophistication at the hotel’s renowned spa and Turkish Hammam or relax with the cream of Porteno society by the fabulous outdoor pool. Don't forget to sample the exquisite cuisine in one of the Faena's flamboyant dining areas, from the classically Argentinean El Mercado to the dreamy El Bistro; designed with striking, all white décor, complete with gold-studded white leather and a dozen mounted unicorn heads.
Nightlife is high on the agenda at Faena and your stay in Buenos Aires would not be complete without seeing a tango performance. Luckily, every evening the Faena puts on an incredible show at Rojo Tango theatre, widely regarded as the best in Buenos Aires.
