Martha Salotti 445 Buenos Aires - Argentina FAENAHOTEL+UNIVERSE is located in the El Porteño Building in the heart of Buenos Aires, Puerto Madero Este, a stone's throw from the Costanera Sur, the city's riverside promenade. The El Porteño Building is also home to 80 private residences. The Jorge Newbery Domestic Airport is a 20-minute drive away and Ezeiza International Airport 40 minutes. FAENAHOTEL+UNIVERSE is right by Buenos Aires's financial centre, the Casa Rosada (or Pink House), and San Telmo, the city's oldest neighbourhood famous for its classical architecture, antique shops and tango bars. Each of our 108 rooms is designed to offer our guests a unique experience in modern elegance. Inspired by Alan Faena and designed by Philippe Starck, the rooms are infused with the romance and decadence of la belle époque, while inspiring a sense of modernity and superior comfort. Experience Team Your Experience Manager is a personal guide who is there for our guests from the moment of reservation to departure, combining the roles of receptionist, butler, steward, public relations manager and personal assistant, and organizing all your activities. look, this is a top luxury hotel and you pay top dollar for it. if money is no object, or you are looking to splurge, you cannot find any better than the Faena. It is like something out of a movie, and you are likely to find movie stars sitting about anyway. The rooms (at the lower level) are small, but nicely furnished and with a real wow factor (glass bathrooms with red velvet drapes, etc. All of the staff are models, the food is excellent, and the scene is..well a scene. I won't be able to stay here again soon, and I would not bring my in laws, but for a fab experience, it is impossible to beat. I LOVED this place. The service was excellent, the room was beautiful, the pool was awesome and the spa was fantastic. If i could afford to i would stay here every time i visited Buenos Aires. Faena is a very interesting property with overall good service but not as polished or well informed as the concierge of a Four Seasons for example, tends to be. Sometimes these so called "hip hotels" can be very tiring, overboard, and even annoying.I don´t think Faena should be viewed as such much more as a permanent stage where you are a comfortable actor. The Spa is something special as is the pool.Those with some knowledge of Argentine history may understand how spectacular and at the same time kitsch the decor is at El Mercado. Excellent breakfast. We had a very nice room. I do not recommend Faena for a long stay as you may grow uneasy about the darkness and excessive "cabaret" character but if you are looking for a short stay at a gay luxury place, this is it.
