Set in the Faena Art District, this property is a flamboyant oceanfront Mid-Beach hotel. Distinctive public areas include the dramatic “Cathedral” lobby supported by massive gold-leafed columns and lined with tropical murals by Argentine painter Juan Gatti, and a garden courtyard complete with a Damien Hirst sculpture of a 9-foot gilded woolly mammoth skeleton. All 179 accommodations feature Carrara-marble baths, art deco accents, plush window seats or furnished balconies, handcrafted working desks and butler service. We recommend requesting an ocean-facing room with a terrace. Restaurants include Pao for modern Asian cuisine and Los Fuegos, a South American space overseen by chef Francis Mallmann. Amenities encompass a lovely pool with attentive service, a private area of the beach, a lavish 22,000-square-foot full-service spa with a gym, a glamorous cocktail bar that occasionally features live DJ sets and a gilded theater.
