Faena Hotel + Universe
The Faena Hotel + Universe is housed within the El Porteño Building, a historic seven-storey former granary standing in the heart of the Faena Art District and overlooking the shores of the River Plate.
The Universe covers the building's entire ground floor, where decadent Edwardian elegance meets country chic. The 108 rooms can be described as mid-century-classical meets modern-contemporary. They are based on white Empire furnishings embedded in modern environments with cut-glass mirrors. Whether facing the city skyline or the nearby ecological reserve and the River Plate, every room comes with a stunningly unique view.
The Spa is spacious and follows the rounded forms of the original silos to unique effect. It also houses Turkish Hammam baths and a state-of-the-art gym, body culture room, an aerobics space and Zen area.
