My travel agent recommended this hotel. I usually go to Hilton Puerto Madero but wanted to give this one a try. I went to Buenos Aires for business (to give a lecture in a school) and travelled alone. I loved the Faena hotel! It's so hype, so modern and cool. I agree on the bathroom problems and was afraid the... more

I’ve been to the Faena plenty of times to eat and also the bar as I live here in Buenos Aires. Also, I have a few friends that own apartments in this building. Few people know that part of the hotel is private apartments owned by foreigners and locals. I was at a wedding reception in Puerto Madero near the... more

I liked the location, the decor was mildly interesting, the food was great. I also liked all the pretty, young and seemingly unattached girls that flock to the bar at night. I didnt think it was worth the price. I didnt like that the TV remote and switch for the blinds didnt work. I'm not sure the whole "personal concierge"... more

It gets an A- in my book! Superb and magical experience! My husband and I absolutely loved all the public spaces and overall feel of this hotel. It's ultra hip and you feel so much like a super cool rock star. You just want to hang out here and maybe skip a walking day in Buenos Aires. The location is... more

It´s a hotel more adequate for young people. The staff was numerous but with a lack of experience. The breakfast was excellent and served at the beautiful decorated "El Mercado". The rooms were big but the Philipe Starck´s decoration reduced a lot the available space. Nevertheless, the touch of this designer is impressive mainly in the public areas. We spent... more

I would agree with some of the complaints about the bathrooms, they are not meant for two people but the other amenities, actual site, decor, room services, service overall, restaurants in the hotel all made up for it. We spent two weeks in Argentina and just being able to stay at the Faena for 3 nights was the highlight of... more

My wife and I stayed here 15 and 16th Feb. The previous reviews say it all really. Not to everyone's taste (or pocket!). Some of the "designs" are not as practical as they could be - especially in the bathroom. Overall we did like our room, overlooking the pool area and looking towards the city. Although we had our own... more

I must say this is the coolest hotel ever and yes we felt like rock stars. That being said the bathroom must have been laid out by a blind man because it just doesn't work. It is the worst design I have ever seen. The whole thing is glass and there is NO Way two people can be in there... more

We stayed here a number of years ago, but we still talk about it. The hotel is an amazing site - the decor is quite striking and thoroughly modern, yet it feels welcoming and warm. The rooms were very spacious, but the bathroom was not, which surprised us. The service is impeccable. We felt like rock n' roll stars. The... more

This hotel is absolutely top notch! Every detail is accounted for and the personal experience manager made my stay special. I only wish I had a few extra days to truly enjoy the hotel. The pool is spectacular and gorgeous. The spa is pristine and the staff is friendly and thorough. The restaurants offer great food and again, great service.... more
