Faena

The Original Faena


Discover where the magic began as you take a journey through the fantastical world of Faena Buenos Aires.

Original Buenos Aires building

Since its opening in 2004, Faena Hotel Buenos Aires, designed by Philippe Starck, has redefined the experience of travel and inspired living by merging the elements of art, culture, entertainment, architecture, and cutting-edge technology.

This urban oasis, which aims to redefine the experience of big metropolis living, features some of the city’s most vibrant hot spots, restaurants, lounges and entertainment venues, such as El Mercado, Bistro Sur, The Library Lounge, El Cabaret, and Faena Spa.

In addition to Faena Hotel, other residential projects include the Faena Aleph Residences, designed by Foster+Partners, Las Porteñas, and the renovation of the early 20th century building, Los Molinos, which houses the Faena Art Center.

Over the past 13 years, Faena Buenos Aires has brought about a cultural renaissance and artistic rejuvenation of the Puerto Madero neighborhood. Faena transformed the abandoned port – undoubtedly, one of Argentina’s most ambitious real estate projects to date – into an urban enclave with the highest standards of excellence and artful living.
