Faena Hotel Miami Beach

Faena Hotel Miami Beach sits on Collins Ave. It is a ten-minute walk from the Miami Beach Boardwalk.

The hotel trades the generic glass-tower aesthetic of its neighbours for a more theatrical, gilded approach to beachfront design. Where the rest of the strip focuses on muted minimalism, this property leans into excess. It is a ten-minute walk from the Boardwalk, which is the point: the hotel feels like a self-contained stage removed from the standard beach-side shuffle. If you want a view of the sea, you get it, but you also get a pool and bar scene that operates at a much higher, more aggressive volume than the properties just down the road.
