Faena suits couples planning evenings around live music in The Living Room, with the lowest seller on Google offering a night from $679 for 2 adults in July 2027. For evenings in that lounge with children, I would choose another address.

I would ask for the Premier Oceanfront Room: its furnished balcony faces the ocean, with a sitting area inside and a Carrara marble bathroom, across 727 square feet.
The July price window
For 11–13 July 2027, individual nights range from $679 to $712 in the calendar read on 13 October 2026. Its highest night is 12 December 2026, at $8,540.
Shoes for The Living Room
Pack evening shoes for The Living Room: trainers, open-toed flat shoes and shorts are excluded by its dress code. After 5pm, entry is for guests aged 21 or over, and laptops are not permitted.
What Faena is
The building was the Saxony, one of the first luxury resorts on Miami Beach. It reopened as Faena Hotel Miami Beach in late 2015, with the film director Baz Luhrmann and the Oscar-winning designer Catherine Martin as creative consultants, according to the Forbes Travel Guide, which gives it 5 stars and counts 21 room categories among 179 rooms. You enter through a hall of gold-leafed columns and murals, and at the far end of the garden a gilded mammoth skeleton by Damien Hirst stands in a glass case before the sand.
In the 500 most recent Google reviews with text, from July 2023 to October 2026, the same things return: staff at the door, on the beach and in the butler team who use a guest’s name by the second day, the Obsession show, Los Fuegos, and a spa whose hammam, sauna and ice parlour come with the room. Of the 71 who describe their room, 70% are pleased with it: they write of the space, the bed, the balcony and the red-and-turquoise decor, which dates from the 2015 reopening.
It is a hotel to choose knowing what it costs and how to dress. The rate comes with the $65 nightly resort fee and the valet at $68 plus tax and service; at breakfast, in 2025, guests write of a $20 glass of orange juice and an $8 coffee, and those who drive in for dinner report paying the valet $65 to $85 for an hour or 2. At the door of the lounge and the bars the dress code is applied to the letter, shoes included: it is worth reading before going down.
Two Lumi
Lumina Guide 2027
Exceptional: two of our three readings say so.
Faena is the old Saxony on Mid-Beach, reopened in 2015 in red velvet and gold leaf, where the beach, Francis Mallmann’s fire-cooked dinner and the cabaret sit under one roof.
A gilded mammoth skeleton by Damien Hirst stands in the garden, nearly all of the 21 room types have a balcony, and the 2,044 m² spa, with its hammam and ice room, is covered by the resort fee.

The 5 things that matter, as guests tell them
What do Faena Miami Beach’s guests say? They write it in their reviews, even those who only came for a drink or dinner: we read every one and tell the 5 things that matter, from the location to the bill.
Location
9 in 10 guests who mention it are happy with it. The beach lies at the end of the garden and the ocean shows from the rooms: guests write of a stretch of Miami Beach quieter than South Beach.
Room
7 in 10 guests who mention it are happy with it. Guests write of the space, the bed, the balcony and the red-and-turquoise decor created for the 2015 reopening.
Staff and service
7 in 10 guests who mention it are happy with it. Many guests remember by name the doormen, the beach attendants, the butlers and the house-car driver, and write of the spa and the shows.
Breakfast
6 in 10 guests who mention it are happy with it. Breakfast is at Veranda, beside the pool, or in the room: guests write of the cooking and of breakfast served in the room.
Price
The service and the setting are what earn the rate, say the guests pleased with what they paid.

The scores come from 500 Google reviews with text, left from 21 July 2023 to 7 October 2026. The other hotels are the ones weighed for a stay in Miami Beach: for each we read its latest 500 Google reviews with text, or all of them where there are fewer, as of 8 October 2026. The score is the average of what they say, from 0 if they speak of it very badly to 10 if they speak of it very well. Where only a few mention something, the score stays close to the guide’s average: a handful of voices does not make a reputation.
Price: for two on the night of 11 July 2027, from $679 (seen on Google Hotels on 13 October 2026).
What a night costs, season by season
For 9 October 2026, Google showed, for one night, $1,064 from its lowest seller and $1,374 from the hotel’s own listing, read on 8 October 2026. I would compare the July run with a complete stay before choosing dates.

Booked as 7 nights from 16 November 2026, the lowest seller Google listed that day asked $1,106 a night; the hotel’s own listing, $1,314.
Faena, The Setai or Fontainebleau
Choose The Setai for an oceanfront stay at 20th Street with 3 pools and a quieter atmosphere. Fontainebleau suits a trip built around its Mid-Beach sands and restaurants such as Hakkasan and Prime 54.
Los Fuegos by Francis Mallmann cooks over open wood fires: breakfast from 7am, lunch from noon, dinner from 6:30pm, and its dress code rules out shorts, sandals and beachwear. On Sundays from noon to 4pm the asado is $129 a head for 3 courses, before tax and service.
An intimate gilded cabaret in red velvet. Obsession, the house production, plays on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm, with a second show at 10:30pm on Fridays and Saturdays; tickets start at $100 for the show alone and the audience must be 18 or over.
On the third floor, 2,044 m² facing the ocean: a hammam on a heated Amazonite stone, a herbal steam room, a sauna, an ice parlour and a tepidarium, as the Thermal Sanctuary page lists them. Massages start at $290 for 60 minutes, plus 22% service and sales tax.
The palm-lined pool has service from 8am to 7:30pm and cabanas to reserve; on the sand, beach butlers serve from 10:30am to 5pm, says the pool and beach page. Chairs, umbrellas and towels are part of the resort fee for hotel guests.
The Living Room has live music every night from 8pm and admits over-21s only after 5pm, in evening dress: no shorts, trainers or caps. From Thursday to Saturday Saxony Bar opens at 10pm and pours until 3am.
Good to know before you book

At breakfast, in 2025, guests write of an $8 coffee and a $20 glass of orange juice. Source: 500 Google reviews read, 21 July 2023 to 7 October 2026
A resort fee of $65 a night plus 14% tax is added to every room, says the hotel policy page: it covers the wet areas of the spa, the gym, chairs, umbrellas and towels at the pool and beach, Wi-Fi and the house car when it is free.
Parking is valet only: ‘$68 ++’ per vehicle a night on the policy page, which means tax and service on top; the official pages publish no self-parking, and visitors in spring 2026 report paying $85 for a couple of hours.
The restaurants and bars enforce their dress codes at the door: Los Fuegos and Pao refuse shorts, open-toe sandals and beachwear, and The Living Room adds trainers, hoodies, caps and laptops after 5pm.
A deposit of one night with tax is taken at booking and is lost if you cancel within 7 days of arrival; leave 2 or more nights early and half the remaining room balance is charged. Guests must be 18 to book.
Pets of up to 25 lb (11 kg) are accepted for a $250 non-refundable fee plus $25 a night.

Check-in
In August 2026 a couple staying 2 nights praised their room over the beach, the food and the spa, in what they call a lively hotel in a quieter part of Miami Beach. Their one criticism: a long wait to check in, with a single desk and receptionist on duty.
Also in August 2026 a visitor writing in French gave one star: the family had a reservation at the bar and was stopped at the door because the daughter’s shoes did not pass. The review grants the luxury of the decor and calls the welcome arrogant.
In June 2026 a couple were met at the valet by their butler, handed welcome drinks and moved to a better room, where champagne, chocolate-dipped strawberries and rose petals were waiting. They went back to the theatre for Obsession.
In June 2026 a guest thanked the staff for excellent service and still gave 3 stars. The paper handed over at checkout showed charges of $389.56; an email after departure gave a final total of $549.92, and nobody had explained the difference.
In March 2026 a guest called it the best hotel on Miami Beach: rooms that feel new, and porters, drivers and beach crew using the guest’s name by the second day. Pool service was the weak point, with a wait of 30 minutes for a menu.
On 1 January 2026, 2 reviews described the same morning: breakfast ordered at 9:50am had still not arrived at 11am, when the family left for the airport. A third guest that week wrote of pool towels running out, tiles slippery when wet and a kitchen short-staffed on the day of the party.
What people ask before booking Faena Hotel Miami Beach, answered from sources read on 8 October 2026.
What kind of hotel is Faena Hotel Miami Beach?
A 5-star oceanfront hotel of 179 rooms at 3201 Collins Avenue, in Mid-Beach, the anchor of the Faena District: the stretch of Collins between 32nd and 36th Street that the Argentine hotelier Alan Faena rebuilt with a hotel, the Faena Forum arts hall, a bazaar and the smaller Casa Faena, as the district page describes it.
It occupies the former Saxony Hotel and opened in late 2015. The Forbes Travel Guide rates it 5 stars, the MICHELIN Guide gives it 2 Keys, and Condé Nast Traveler’s readers voted it the best hotel in Miami for a fourth year running in 2026, according to Faena’s own journal.
It opened in December 2015, according to Faena’s own journal, read on 15 October 2026; the hotel gives no year for the Saxony building. Some travel sites still print 169 rooms; MICHELIN and Forbes both count 179.
What are the rooms and suites like?
The official list has 21 types: 4 rooms from 43 to 68 m², 6 junior suites from 59 to 120 m² and 11 suites from 86 m² to the 2-storey Faena Penthouse of 1,348 m², with up to 5 bedrooms. They look either west over Biscayne Bay and downtown Miami or east over the Atlantic, and nearly every type has a balcony.
The style is red, turquoise and gold, with custom wood furniture; every type lists a smart television, TOTO toilet, Wi-Fi and evening turndown, and suites add butler service. Several types connect, and 7 of the 21 also come in mobility- or hearing-accessible versions, each with its own page.
Where is it, and is the area quiet?
On the ocean side of Collins Avenue at 32nd Street, in Mid-Beach, between the Atlantic and Indian Creek. South Beach begins to the south: Lincoln Road is 2.7 km away, 36 minutes on foot or 5 by car, and the Art Deco Welcome Center on Ocean Drive 3.3 km, 6 minutes by car, on routes calculated with OpenStreetMap.
Google describes Mid-Beach as a shore of luxury condominium towers and Miami Modern hotels. The hotel makes its own noise: live music nightly from 8pm, a theatre and a bar that closes at 3am at weekends. Guests like the neighbourhood: 89% of the 73 recent Google reviews that mention the location are positive.
How do you get there from the airports?
By car. From Miami International Airport the route is 22.6 km and takes about 28 minutes without traffic; from Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood it is 41.6 km and about 38 minutes; from Brightline’s MiamiCentral station 13.3 km and about 15 minutes. These are routes calculated on OpenStreetMap’s roads; Miami’s traffic can add a good deal.
The official pages publish no airport transfer or fare. Google Hotels lists an airport shuttle and a private car service, both at extra charge; the house car included in the resort fee runs around Miami Beach, when it is free.
Is there parking?
Valet only, for all vehicles: the hotel policy page prints ‘$68 ++’ per vehicle for overnight parking, that is $68 plus tax and service. No self-parking and no charging for electric cars are published.
Visitors pay by the visit, and no official page prints that rate: in Google reviews people who drove in for lunch, the beach or the show report $65 in 2025 and $85 in March and April 2026, for stays of 30 minutes to 2 hours. The offer for Florida and Georgia residents, from May to September 2026, included valet for one vehicle.
Is the hotel on the beach, and are sunbeds included?
Yes: the garden ends on the sand of Miami Beach, where the hotel sets out its red-and-white umbrellas over what it measures as 100,000 sq ft, about 9,290 m². For hotel guests the chaise longues, umbrellas and towels are included in the resort fee, and beach butlers serve from 10:30am to 5pm, says the pool and beach page.
Visitors use it too: those who are not staying can rent a Faena chaise longue for $150 from Monday to Thursday and $250 from Friday to Sunday, or a daybed with 2 chaise longues for $500, first come, first served.
From the reviews: a guest in October 2025 notes that the water stays waist-deep a long way out.
What is the pool like?
One outdoor pool in the garden between the hotel and the beach, lined with palms, red-and-white umbrellas and cabanas that can be reserved; butlers bring fruit-infused water and snacks, according to the official page. The Forbes Travel Guide notes that the pool is for hotel guests only.
The official pages give no dimensions. Google Hotels and Booking.com both list a hot tub, which the hotel’s text does not describe; the aerial photograph on the same page shows a round whirlpool with steps beside the pool, and a guest in July 2026 writes of hot and cold whirlpools.
Is the pool heated, and when is it open?
Pool service runs from 8am to 7:30pm and food and drinks from noon to 6:30pm, all year, on the pool and beach page; the page for private events gives shorter hours, 8am to 5:30pm. No official page says whether the water is heated or gives a temperature.
Where can you eat and drink, and until when?
4 restaurants, 3 bars and a theatre, on the official dining page. Los Fuegos by Francis Mallmann, Argentine cooking over open fire: breakfast 7am to 11am, lunch noon to 4pm, dinner 6:30pm to 10:30pm, 11pm on Fridays and Saturdays. Pao by Paul Qui, modern Asian under a gold dome: Tuesday to Saturday from 6:30pm. El Secreto, a 6-seat omakase counter: Thursday to Saturday at 6:30pm and 9pm.
Veranda, the fourth restaurant, serves breakfast by the pool; Tree of Life and Sun Bar, in the garden, open from 11am to 9pm and to midnight from Thursday to Saturday; The Living Room opens at 6pm, noon from Thursday to Saturday, until midnight or 2am; Saxony Bar, Thursday to Saturday, 10pm to 3am. Faena Theater serves dinner with its shows.
On the Los Fuegos menu a wood-oven empanada opens dinner and the prime ribeye with domino potatoes is $112; the Sunday asado is a set $129. The MICHELIN Guide lists both Los Fuegos and Pao.
Is breakfast included, and are there meal plans?
Breakfast is extra on standard rates. The ‘Stay with Breakfast’ rate adds a daily $100 credit for 2 at Veranda, with no change or cancellation fees, and the advance-purchase rate has a version with the same credit. There is no half board, full board or all-inclusive plan on the official pages.
À la carte at Los Fuegos, the Faena breakfast of eggs, bacon and potatoes costs $29, the pancakes $29 and a pastry basket $26, before tax and service.
What is the spa like?
Tierra Santa Healing House takes 22,000 sq ft, about 2,044 m², on the third floor, facing the ocean. Its Thermal Sanctuary is a circuit: a waterfall shower, a hammam with a heated hexagonal stone of Amazonite, a herbal steam room scented with eucalyptus, a wet scrub room, a sauna in obeche and hemlock, a marble ice parlour for 2 and a tepidarium with heated stone beds.
Beside it are treatment rooms and private oceanfront spa suites with a soaking tub and balcony, a nail studio, the Rossano Ferretti hair salon and a gym with Technogym machines. The treatments draw on South American healing traditions, with the house’s own muds, scrubs and oils.
Is spa access included, and can outside guests use it?
For hotel guests, yes: access to the spa’s wet areas and to the gym is part of the $65 resort fee, and the spa menu says guests may use the Thermal Sanctuary free of charge by reservation, subject to availability. Guests aged 16 to 18 may have selected services with an adult.
Visitors can book treatments, and arrive an hour early to use the Thermal Sanctuary beforehand; the gym is open to guests of Faena, of Casa Faena and of the day spa. No day pass for the thermal circuit alone is published, and the 8am yoga class, at $35, takes non-residents.
What are the spa hours, and do you need to book?
The spa opens from 9am to 9pm, the salon from 10am to 6pm and the gym from 6am to 9pm, on the Tierra Santa page. Treatments and the thermal circuit need a reservation; the spa asks you to arrive 60 minutes early and charges the full price for a treatment cancelled less than 24 hours ahead.
Which treatments does the spa offer, and at what prices?
From the official treatment pages: massages at $290 for 60 minutes and $430 for 90, among them a deep-tissue massage and one that opens with a cacao ceremony; hammam and purification rituals at $480 for 90 minutes and $600 for 120; a do-it-yourself bathing ritual with scrubs and clays at $100.
Facials with Biologique Recherche and Valmont cost from $320 for 60 minutes to $895 for the 90-minute Masterpiece; the couple’s bath ritual in a spa suite, 210 minutes with champagne, is $2,360. A 22% service charge and sales tax are added, and prices may be higher from Friday to Sunday.
Is it good for children?
Children are welcome, but the hotel is built for adults’ evenings. Under-12s stay free in the existing beds and rollaway beds are available in some room types at a charge, says the policy page; for families there are the type with 2 queen beds and the connecting rooms.
Age limits apply after dark: The Living Room is for over-21s after 5pm and the Obsession show for over-18s, while the jazz series is open to all ages. Google Hotels lists a kids’ club, babysitting and children’s activities; the hotel’s own site has no page for any of them, and a guest who stayed 10 days in July 2025 points out that there is no separate children’s pool. Rollaway beds are available in certain room types at a charge, according to the policy page read on 15 October 2026, which does not say which types, or whether cots are offered.
Are pets allowed?
Yes, up to 25 lb, about 11 kg: the hotel policy charges a $250 non-refundable fee plus $25 a night, and warns that admission can change with local rules. Booking.com says only that charges may apply.
Are there dress codes and age limits?
Yes, and they are enforced. Los Fuegos and Pao ask for ‘elegant chic’: no shorts, open-toe sandals or beachwear. The Living Room wants evening dress and lists what is refused: shorts, swimwear, flip-flops, sportswear and trainers, hoodies, large-logo T-shirts, ripped jeans and caps.
After 5pm The Living Room admits only guests of 21 or over and bans laptops. El Secreto asks for business casual and does not seat anyone more than 15 minutes late. Professional photography in public areas needs approval in advance.
What does the hotel offer beyond the rooms?
The beach and pool, the Tierra Santa spa with its gym and hair salon, the restaurants and bars, the Faena Theater and a 36-seat screening room with regular films for guests. Across Collins Avenue the Faena Forum, designed by Rem Koolhaas’s OMA, hosts art and events, and the non-profit Faena Art commissions exhibitions.
The resort fee adds Wi-Fi, digital newspapers, local calls, a welcome drink and the house car. Google Hotels lists tennis; no official page mentions a court.
What offers are there?
On the offers page read on 8 October 2026: Advance Saver, up to 20% off for a non-refundable purchase; Stay Longer, up to 25% off stays of 4 nights or more; Stay with Breakfast, with a $100 daily credit; and a Florida and Georgia residents’ rate with breakfast credit, $200 resort credit, valet and 15% off spa treatments, dated May to September 2026. Blackout dates apply and no package prices are printed.
Can you get married or hold an event at Faena?
Yes. The weddings page offers the beach for ceremonies, the veranda of Los Fuegos, the lawn, the theatre and the Faena Forum: 43,000 sq ft, about 3,995 m², with 2 halls and an amphitheatre, for up to 1,000 guests. The pool deck and the beach take receptions of 200, the Mammoth Garden 150.
For small dinners there is La Cava, the wine cellar of 3,000 bottles, with 22 seated. The hotel publishes no prices or minimums and works by request for proposal, with its own events team and catering by its restaurants.
Is there a New Year’s Eve dinner or party?
The programme for 31 December 2026 had not been published by 13 October 2026; the calendar still showed last year’s. On 31 December 2025, from the New Year’s Eve page: dinners with special menus at Los Fuegos and Pao, a party at Tree of Life with an open bar from $550 a head before tax and service, a terrace package at $1,005, and fireworks over the Mammoth Garden at midnight.
On 1 January 2026 The Living Room served a Los Fuegos lunch with live music at $150 or $175. Reservations were required and the evening dress code applied.
Does the hotel offer golf packages?
No: no official page mentions golf. Google Hotels places the Miami Beach Golf Club 2 miles away, about 3 km.
Is it open all year, and what about the hurricane season?
It is open year-round, and the official pages announce no closure. On Google Hotels, read on 8 October 2026, 86 of the 115 nights from 9 October 2026 to 31 January 2027 had a price; the other 29, among them 31 December and 1 January, showed none, which does not mean the hotel is closed.
The Atlantic hurricane season runs from 1 June to 30 November, says the US National Hurricane Center. The hotel’s pages say nothing about it; its ordinary terms keep the deposit for a cancellation within 7 days.
How much does a night cost?
Google Hotels, read on 8 October 2026, for 2 adults and one night, with the $65 resort fee included and the 14% tax not, as the sellers’ links show: $1,064 on Friday 9 October 2026, $666 on 13 October, $1,138 on Saturday 24 October, $804 on 8 November, $1,858 on 21 November, $3,314 on 3 December, the eve of Art Basel Miami Beach, $995 on 20 December, $2,474 on 25 December, $2,794 on 2 January 2027 and $1,403 on 17 January.
Of the 115 nights read to 31 January, 86 had a price, from $666 to $3,314; the calendar gives the day’s lowest price and does not name the room. For 9 October the card showed $1,374 on the hotel’s own site and $1,064 on Super.com. Art Basel Miami Beach runs from 4 to 6 December 2026.
What do the reviews say?
On 8 October 2026 Google showed 4.6/5 from 3,091 ratings, with 81% at 5 stars; Tripadvisor 4.8/5 from 3,474 reviews, with cleanliness at 4.9, location, rooms and service at 4.8 and value at 4.6; Booking.com 8.4/10 from 234, with location at 9.1; Expedia 9.2/10 from 901.
Praise goes to the people at the door, on the beach and in the butler team, to Los Fuegos, the Obsession show and the spa. The reviews also return to the prices of breakfast and cocktails, the resort fee and the valet, longer waits at the pool and at breakfast on busy days, and the dress code at the door of the lounge and the restaurants.
Which taxes and fees are added to the room rate?
2 things: the resort fee, $65 a night plus 14% tax on the hotel policy page, which comes to $74.10, and tax on the room, 14% as well in the sellers’ links. Parking, restaurants and the spa are charged apart, the spa with a 22% service charge.
The seller links in Google’s response of 8 October show how it adds up for 9 October: Booking.com displayed $1,365 on the card and carried a total of $1,556.06 in its link, $256.06 of it taxes and fees. That is a $1,300 room, the $65 fee and 14% on both. A hold of $250 a night for incidentals is placed on the card at check-in.
What are the check-in and check-out times?
Check-in is from 4pm and check-out by noon, on the policy page. Early arrival and late departure depend on availability, or can be guaranteed for a fee that varies with the date and room. You need photo identification and the card used to book, and the hotel is non-smoking throughout.
On arrival the valet and the doormen do the welcoming, and many guests remember them by name.
