Faena Hotel + Universe review Rate it
Richly red and decadent, sleekly white and contemporary, and designed by Philippe Starck, this opulent, lavish lodging is cocooned in the shell of a red-brick former grain silo. The hotel houses the wealthy and famous in its 105 gorgeous rooms and the even wealthier in its 83 privately owned apartments. Intended to be more than just a hotel, as the 'Universe' part of the name might suggest, Faena also includes a bistro, a Library bar, an outdoor pool bar, a slick cabaret theatre and a spa, all open to the public.
