FAENA MIAMI BEACH NAMED #1 BEST HOTEL IN MIAMI AND AMONG THE TOP 50 HOTELS IN THE WORLD IN CONDÉ NAST TRAVELER’S 2026 READERS’ CHOICE AWARDS

Readers Have Spoken Again: Faena Miami Beach Is Miami’s Best for the Fourth Consecutive Year, as Faena New York Makes Its Debut at #2 just One Year After Opening

Condé Nast Traveler today announced the results of its annual Readers’ Choice Awards, naming Faena Miami Beach the #1 Best Hotel in Miami for the fourth consecutive year and among the top 50 Best Hotels in the World. The recognition continues an extraordinary decade at the top for Faena Miami Beach, which has never ranked below the top two hotels in Miami since first entering the Readers’ Choice Awards.

This year also marks a new chapter for Faena. In its inaugural year, Faena New York debuted as the #2 Best Hotel in New York City, extending the spirit of Faena to Manhattan and earning a top recognition by Condé Nast Traveler readers in its very first year.

“To once again receive this recognition in Miami, and now in our first year in New York, speaks to the strength of the Faena vision,” said Alan Faena. “Our purpose has always been to create extraordinary places that transform the way people live and bring greater joy, inspiration and meaning to everyday life. As Faena continues to grow into new cities and destinations, that vision continues to evolve while remaining unmistakably Faena. We are grateful to our extraordinary teams, our guests, our residents, and everyone who continues to be part of our story.”  – ALAN FAENA

For nearly a decade, Faena Miami Beach has remained at the very top of the city’s rankings, reflecting an enduring connection with the guests who return year after year. This year, Faena Miami Beach also ranked among the Top 50 Hotels in the World, placing #23 on Condé Nast Traveler’s global list and bringing its story to an international stage.

Since opening, Faena has helped shape a new cultural heartbeat in Miami Beach, creating a world that extends far beyond the traditional luxury hotel experience. Set along the sands of Mid-Beach, the property has become known for its immersive, theatrical take on hospitality, where art, wellness and entertainment are woven directly into the guest experience. From the nightly programming inside the Faena Theater to the open-fire dining of Los Fuegos by Francis Mallmann and the healing rituals of Tierra Santa Healing House, Faena continues to offer an experience that guests return to again and again, a loyalty reflected directly in this year's results.

That story now continues in New York. Just one year after opening, Faena New York debuted as the #2 Best Hotel in New York City in the 2026 Readers’ Choice Awards. Set in West Chelsea, the hotel brings the Faena spirit to Manhattan through its own distinct expression of art, culture, hospitality and community, marking an exciting new chapter for the brand.
