Faena Hotel Miami Beach

The most unashamedly opulent of all Miami Beach’s hotels, Faena has a red and gold great hall worthy of the grandest manor, glittering circular chandeliers, striped red parasols staking out its patch of beach and eye-catching art throughout – not least the giant skeletal woolly mammoth in a cage outside, courtesy of Damien Hirst. Alan Faena’s Argentine heritage is referenced all over, nowhere more so than at Los Fuegos, where you can go for an authentic open-fire asado experience – and huge parrilladas every Sunday.
