Faena Hotel Miami Beach

Faena Hotel Miami Beach is a 169-room oceanfront hotel at 3201 Collins Avenue in Mid-Beach, Miami Beach, Florida, designed by Baz Luhrmann and Catherine Martin and anchoring the Faena District. The building occupies the former Saxony hotel site from the 1940s and blends Art Deco heritage with theatrical, richly decorated interiors in reds, golds and whites, with large-scale artworks in public spaces. The location is on Collins Avenue facing the Atlantic Ocean, roughly 20 to 25 minutes by car from Downtown Miami, and about 30 minutes from Miami International Airport. The Faena Arts district, with the Faena Forum cultural centre and the Faena Bazaar, is nearby, and Lincoln Road and South Beach are a short drive. Rooms include Bay View Rooms, Premier Oceanfront Rooms and Suites, with high ceilings, ornate details and in many cases private views of the ocean. Amenities include a beachfront setting, a pool, a spa and several restaurants and bars, including a cabaret venue that adds to the evening scene. Dining is a key part of the experience, with options ranging from a Latin American steakhouse concept to a casual poolside menu, and afternoon tea and cocktails in the public rooms. The service character is high-end, highly personalised and glamorous, with butler-style attention suited to couples, honeymooners and affluent leisure visitors. Rates typically run about $700-$1,500 USD per night before taxes and fees, making this one of the pricier hotels in the area. With a 4.6 rating, the Faena Hotel Miami Beach is chosen by visitors who want a theatrical, art-driven luxury beach stay in Mid-Beach rather than a traditional resort.
