Designed by the celebrated Philippe Starck—and drawing inspiration from Alan Faena—the Faena Hotel & Universe encompasses a delightfully contradictory spirit: a love of lavish extravagance and a commitment to providing entirely functional items for guests’ use.
Instead of a run-of-the-mill chair, for example, the Faena has installed gold leaf swan chairs in the rooms, making it easy to get swept away by the Belle Époque ambience in this luxury hotel.
The Faena Hotel & Universe goes far beyond the facilities of other upscale hotels. In addition to offering an opulent place to spend the night, it caters to guests’ needs for fun and relaxation through a truly dazzling pool, a blissful spa offering every therapy imaginable, a relaxing Turkish bath, two delectable restaurants, an onsite boutique for your shopping pleasure, an intimate live theatre venue for private performances, and a cellar that boasts the largest collection of wine in the country.
The assortment of rooms and suites at the hotel come with a range of amenities, but they all are decorated in a modern opulence that’s reminiscent of Imperial style, with elements such as red velvet curtains, dark wood, and light sandstone. Glass-and-marble bathrooms with a separate shower, a home theatre with surround sound, and Internet connection are just a few of the luxuries that come standard. The Faena Suite is the most impressive room in the collection, featuring cherry furnishings, three plasma TVs, spacious bathroom with Jacuzzi and rain shower, kitchen, library, and dining room.
