FAENA HOTEL MIAMI BEACH

MIAMI

Escape from South Beach . It ’ s not the tagline of Faena Hotel Mami Beach , but it could be a marketing ploy for the traveler who wants the luxurious Miami Beach experience minus the revelrous and cacophonic South Beach scene . Just blocks north , Faena is enticing travelers with an inventive mix of design and service . It begins with the former : Alan Faena , the Argentinean hotelier and owner of the titular property , enlisted the services of film director Baz Luhrmann and his wife in the restoration of what was the Saxony hotel , which dated back to 1948 , into the present-day Faena . The effect is nothing short of cinematic . The hotel now features 179 guestrooms and evokes

Miami ’ s golden age of glamor with its Art Deco design and appeal . There is no shortage of room types ; 21 , in fact , including seven signature suites , such as the 2,500-square-foot Imperial Suite with its wraparound balcony . For gourmands , there are four dining outlets to choose from , including the speakeasy style sushi at El Secreto Omakase . Of course , what would Faena be without an Argentinian asado experience , found at Los Fuegos By Francis Mallmann . Then there is the 22,000-square-foot Tierra Santa Healing House , billed as the first South American-inspired spa in the U . S . Faena : Out of the frenzied South Beach spotlight and into the luxury lap .
