Faena Hotel Buenos Aires sits in the pulsating heart of Puerto Madero, set in a converted early-20th-century building and designed by Philippe Starck in maximalist style, all cabaret-red carpets, velvet drapes and gilded mirrors. Accommodation runs from park and skyline-view rooms to studios, duplex suites and signature suites, with arabescato marble baths and hand-embroidered throws. Dining and entertainment span the Italian Bistro Sur, the market-style El Mercado, the dinner-show El Cabaret with its asado, the Library Lounge and a poolside bar. There is the Faena Spa, a holistic space with a hammam, sauna, jacuzzi, yoga and a fitness centre, plus a swimming pool. The hotel sits within Alan Faena’s cultural district, with the Faena Art Center, theatrical productions, live music, tango and cabaret shows and cooking classes. Now operating under Accor and marking its 20th anniversary, it suits style-driven, culturally curious travellers, couples and nightlife lovers who want maximalist design, cabaret and a buzzy Puerto Madero scene.
