Faena Hotel Miami Beach
Miami, United States · ★★★★★ · 9.2/10 Exceptional · guest rating
Oceanfront luxury hotel in Mid-Beach with theatrical, gilded interiors, a spa, a pool, beach cabanas, nightlife and live performances.
Faena Hotel Miami Beach is on Collins Avenue, in the Mid-Beach corridor, and is part of a small cultural district conceived by Alan Faena. Its identity is elegant excess: lobbies under colorful ceilings, grand staircases, gold at every turn and one piece that became an emblem, the gilded mammoth skeleton created by Damien Hirst. The result feels more like a stage set than a standard hotel lobby.
The experience blends beach, art and nightlife. There is a pool with loungers, beach cabanas, a poolside bar, a nightclub and live concerts and shows. The Tierra Santa Healing House spa offers manicures, hot-stone massage and body treatments. Confirm with the hotel which restaurants and performances are running on your travel dates, and ask about that week's schedule. It helps to plan ahead if a specific show is on your wish list.
Why stay here
- Oceanfront luxury hotel in the Mid-Beach area
- Theatrical interiors with gold details and art
- Pool, beach cabanas and the Tierra Santa spa
- Live concerts and shows at the hotel
- Tip: check the show calendar before choosing your dates
The setting
The building is a tower with a prominent facade facing the Atlantic. The rooms have a large bed, balconies with ocean views and bathrooms with a freestanding tub; the public areas include a dining room with a glass ceiling, a restaurant with bold gold decor and a lobby with an imposing staircase. The style is daring and maximalist, and it shows in every detail.
What we like
- Oceanfront in Mid-Beach, with beach cabanas
- Interiors with real personality, somewhere between art and theater
- Spa, pool and poolside bar
- Live concerts and shows in the same building
- Close to cultural venues such as The Bass and Miami City Ballet
Worth knowing
- The maximalist style may not suit anyone who prefers something understated
- The nightlife and social scene can feel lively if you want a quiet rest
Don't miss
Take your time exploring the public spaces: the lobby, the glass-ceilinged dining room and Damien Hirst's large gilded piece are worth a visit even if you are not staying. Nearby, The Bass museum is a good cultural stop.
