What Travelers Are Saying About the Faena Miami Beach
Guests love getting the celebrity treatment at Faena Miami Beach. It’s one of Booking.com’s top picks for a place to stay in the city and it’s easy to see why. In the hotel reviews, guests lauded the room size, cleanliness, and overall stylish experience. Visitors who seek a stay know it’s more than just a hotel. There is so much to see and look at in the property. There are lots of nice touches from the furniture, art books to peruse, ornaments in the room, and lovely beach service.
Our Take on the Faena Miami Beach
Welcome to a Miami masterplan. While the Faena Miami Beach is definitely one of the pricier hotels in the city, it is clearly geared towards luxury living. Guests who booked a stay there appreciated the immersive experience. From the flamboyant, bright prints and colored furniture, ritzy breakfasts, and holistic spa experience, the hotel shouts that it was designed for higher end living and guests who swing that way.
While it certainly is a beautiful place to stay and the amenities are superb, don’t book it if you can’t shell out a good amount of money. While the rooms are costly, it doesn’t end there. Prices add up fast. Make sure you budget for your trip properly.
But if you’re already done your research and have your heart set on booking a stay, we know you’ll love it. Get ready to dive into a Wes Anderson-like experience and make sure to take plenty of pictures along the way.
