Faena lies on 32nd street in Miami Beach, a landmark hotel known for its truly visionary design, where lavishly assembled interiors and ornate sculptures vie for attention. Decor is the highlight of this hotel, and chimes perfectly with Miami’s golden age of glamour: think of a vibrant theatrical fantasia, dotted with tiger prints, accents of red and gold, and absolutely no expense spared. Unapologetically bold, the gilded cathedral entrance bears eight neo-romantic murals by Argentinean artist Juan Gatti, and contemporary art lines the walls. Continuing the distinctive design theme outside is a temperature-controlled glass case housing a Damien Hirst sculpture of a woolly mammoth dipped in twenty-four carat gold.

Dedicated to celebrating the arts, Faena Theatre draws inspiration from Europe’s magnificent opera houses and the alluring glamour of old Hollywood. Here guests can enjoy the hotel’s very own exotic cabaret performances and ambitious artistic productions.
