Since its opening in 2004, Faena Buenos Aires, designed by Philippe Starck, has redefined the experience of travel and inspired living by merging the elements of art, culture, entertainment, architecture, and cutting-edge technology. This urban oasis, which aims to redefine the experience of big metropolis living, features some of the city’s most vibrant hot spots, restaurants, lounges and entertainment venues, such as El Mercado, Bistro Sur, The Library Lounge, El Cabaret, and Faena Spa.
