The "Hacedor" Spirit of Faena: A Multicultural Sanctuary of Art
From Buenos Aires to Miami, Witness How the Term "Maker" Breathes New Life into Spaces

In a world often boxed into labels, Faena, founded by Alan Faena and his partner Len Blavatnik, defies mere categorization as a hotel chain. At its core, Faena aims to fuse seamlessly with local communities, to become an integral part of their daily life. Derived from the Spanish word for "maker," "Hacedor" serves as the guiding principle for all of Faena's ventures. Whether in Buenos Aires or Miami, Faena stands out as a hub of cultural richness. Entering a Faena district immerses you in an atmosphere where culture, art, and life thrive. The spaces are diverse, ranging from elegantly designed hotels and buildings to vibrant forums and marketplaces like the Faena Bazaar. These aren't just places to stay or shop; they're worlds to explore, packed with art and life. As Faena rebuilds the community, they never forget their social responsibility. By actively participating in community projects, Faena brings new energy and vitality to its districts. Staying at Faena isn't just about booking a room; it's about embracing a concept, a lifestyle, and a community. You become part of something larger—a living culture where you're not just a guest but a valuable contributor.

Faena Hotel Miami Beach

Located in the heart of Miami Beach's mid-beach neighborhood, the hotel has quite the storied history; it was originally known as The Saxony Hotel, a see-and-be-seen spot in the late ‘40s. Now, it’s been reimagined with Art Deco style and bold Hollywood glamour, but with all the modern conveniences. There’s something visually stimulating at every turn, and the most eye-catching, talked-about-piece is “Gone But Not Forgotten” by Damien Hirst, an enormous 24-karat-gold mammoth that rests in a house of glass in front of the beach. During the day the clear glass offers a spectacular view of the turquoise ocean in the background, beckoning you for a swim.
