what an experience....the hotel is just beautiful from the never ending lobby to the white el bistro with unicorn heads on the walls to the eclectic library and the fabulous pool.
This hotel does not disappoint and the whole experience is enhanced by the experience managers who can advise you of the best places to go and when and arrange everything you could want from limos to lunch> All the stars stay here and there were a few there on our visit which made it great fun> i love the rooms and the beds give you the best nights sleep ever.
Buenos aires without the faena is not worth doing.

My BF and I visited the lovely city of Buenos Aires in March. Such a perfect time to go as the weather is phenomenal. We stayed at Faena for 5 nights. This hotel is in a new and upcoming area. Our check-in was smooth and the hotel staff was helpful (they made many of our restaurant reservations). Upon arrival we immediately went to the pool and had lunch. The octopus as well as ceviche were well prepared. The room was hip and modern (as well as the rest of the hotel). I particulary enjoy the all glass bathroom (which you can seperate with a curtain for more privacy). We used some of the spa amenities (manicure + pedicure for me) and massage for two. This was definitely a highlight as the room that they use for the couple's massage is very romantic with a soaking tub.
Pros: Beautiful, modern, and secluded
Cons: I had no cons for this hotel

Recommendations:
Arambaru restaurant is a must. Especially if you consider yourself a true foodie. The preparation and attention to detail are top notch. The food is savory and interesting.

Our Faena experience started with a driver meeting us at the airport. Inside the car, a welcome box included water, apples and roasted nuts which was a great touch. Here's the first time I noticed the lack of attention to detail: they give you all that stuff, but you can't take the box to the room with you, so you either eat it or cram it in your bags.

Our room was great (they even had given us a free bottle of bubbles for our honeymoon) facing the Eco-reserve and the bell boy run us through the details of how things worked. 15 minutes later after he left we couldn't figure out how to turn lights on and front desk sent the maintenance team: the bell boy forgot to mention that the light "switches" actually had to be held pressed to turn lights on and off.

The shower head was huge and the water pressure was great: but the only way to prevent the bathroom from flooding was laying towels outside the shower.

There were also very few power points. These days, people have phones, iPads and other devices that need to be charged simultaneously.

The Mercado restaurant staff, even though super nice, didn't do the basics like keeping our glasses of wine and water full all the time.

Internet service was superb and available everywhe in the hotel

There's no doubt that Faena is a one of a kind hotel, but If there's one thing that Faena need to learn is that for their nightly rate, you get AAA service (not just good service) in other hotels of the world.

Great hotel with some fabulous features - pool especially is fantastic and bell men - entryway staff are just superb ...... I found the concierge to be not overly personable and a little stiff - same with check in ...... polite but NOT overly friendly or welcoming....... too "formal" ........ service in Mercado restaurant is slooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow ...... incredibly so for a restaurant of this caliber and price tag - they seem super short staffed and very disorganized.......

rooms are nice but not amazing - 2 considerations - if your overlooking pool - you can expect to hear late night fun and music until very late most nights - hotel is only 5 ? stories and it is Buenos Aries ... if you are on business this may bother you ..... also for me and this is not the hotels fault but I had to call down to lobby at 4.30am to stop the "raging party next door" - it seems the Weds Oct 24th bar rock party moved from hotel bar to room 510 and unfortunately I was in room 508. I would have expected that at $500+ a night I would have gotten a follow up call the next day or recognition on checkout that I had lodged a serious complaint . The hotel obviously did send someone up and the party / music died ...and again they cannot control how guests behave but I can’t imagine that other rooms above below and on the side did not complain - the walls were literally vibrating .....
