Having long been on my hit list of places to stay since I published the first images of this Philippe Starck designed masterpiece back in 2004 when it first opened. Unlike many establishments of this ilk, the Faena still fulfills its objective of catering to the design savvy stylish crowd. Starck’s elaborate design is still awe-inspiring, and reason enough to justify the pricey room rates. And if you were in need of another excuse to stay here – the hot local action poolside should be enough to seal the deal.
