Designed by Philippe Starck, the Faena Hotel in Buenos Aires presents itself as a ruby-red palace on the riverbank and is located in a converted granary with high ceilings and first-class views of the city. Inside, the hotel is a tribute to Argentina inspired by local art and boasts one of the world's finest Malbec collections, a cabaret bar inspired by the Roaring Twenties, and—of course!—tango lessons from local professionals. Relax in the spa area with sauna and hammam and fortify yourself with a tender Argentine steak before diving into a long night of dancing. The city is at your feet!
Hop on a rental bike to explore the city—after all, the city center is practically around the corner! An absolute must is a stroll through the macabre labyrinth of the Recoleta Cemetery, which features ornate crypts, towering mausoleums, and a shrine to Eva Perón. The city's art scene also has a lot to offer: admire stunning contemporary works at the Faena Arts Center, while the National Museum of Fine Arts can almost rival the Met or the Louvre. Afterwards, pamper yourself at the spa and treat your body and soul to some well-deserved rest. Work up a sweat in the sauna or take a deep breath in the hammam before trying your hand at tango in the evening.
Choose from 87 accommodations, including 21 suites, to find the perfect place for your dream vacation.
