Faena Buenos Aires
A contemporary Buenos Aires icon where design, art, gastronomy and entertainment combine in a luxury experience with an unmistakable identity.
The stay
In the heart of Puerto Madero, Faena Buenos Aires offers a theatrical and deeply personal way to experience the city. Housed in a former industrial building and conceived with Philippe Starck, the hotel blends references to Buenos Aires' Belle Époque with a bold aesthetic of red velvet, marble, gold details and highly distinctive spaces. More than a hotel, it is part of the Faena District, a project that brings together hospitality, gastronomy, art and culture. The Faena Art Center, performances, live music and spaces such as El Cabaret take the experience beyond a traditional stay. Rooms and suites continue this visual language, combining richly colored textiles, marble and designer furniture with expansive views over the city and Puerto Madero.
Location
Faena Buenos Aires is located in Puerto Madero, one of the city's most contemporary districts, beside the historic port corridor and just minutes from the historic center, San Telmo and Costanera Sur. Its location works especially well for travelers seeking a modern, peaceful base without being far from Buenos Aires' cultural and culinary life.
Why we love it
Because its personality is apparent from the first moment. Faena makes no attempt to be neutral: it offers its own exuberant, artistic and slightly theatrical interpretation of Buenos Aires. We especially recommend it to travelers looking for more than accommodation—gastronomy, design, music, tango, art and social life are all part of the same experience. Within the ACP selection, it complements Alvear beautifully: Alvear represents the classical elegance of Buenos Aires, while Faena expresses its more creative, contemporary and provocative side.
