A hotel like no other, the Faena Hotel Buenos Aires is extraordinary. The utilitarian façade of the seven-story brick building, a turn-of-the-20th-century grain warehouse, belies the imaginative interiors created by Philippe Starck. Including unicorn heads on the walls, velvet curtains, crimson-upholstered chairs and crystal chandeliers. New arrivals are greeted by an “experience manager” who serves as a personal concierge. The rooms, many with city and Río de la Plata views, have lapacho-wood floors and arabasceto marble bathrooms.
