Amazing hotel after not being there after 3+ years. Service is at the the Four Seasons level. Rooms are spacious and well equipped. Service is what matters and is fantastic. Kevin at the desk is absolutely amazing and the rest of the team is great. German in the restaurant gave amazing 5 Star service and anticipated all needs. Alvaro and doorman Lisandro also helped all the time during the stay. What an amazing staff

I went to the bar last night, the atmosphere is great! It is sexy, elegant, chick, cozy. Antonella was my bartender and I’m not sure if his name is Lucas but both were great. I had no cash so I was not able to tip them. (You can’t add the tip in your credit card). This hotel and the amenities is a great option for a night out in Buenos Aires.

I had a wonderful stay at Faena Hotel Buenos Aires. The hotel has a unique personality, beautiful design, and an atmosphere that makes the experience feel truly special from the moment you arrive. One of the highlights was the outstanding service from the Experience Managers. They were genuinely warm, attentive, and always ready to help with recommendations or any request, making me feel welcome throughout our stay. The lunch at El Mercado was also excellent. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared, with great service that perfectly complemented the meal. Overall, Faena delivers a memorable luxury experience that combines exceptional hospitality, distinctive style, and outstanding dining. I would happily stay here again on my next visit to Buenos Aires.

The Faena is a stylish hotel which is now feeling a little old compared to when it opened. The room designs waste a fair amount of space and plumbing is showing signs of wear. The pool is a purely instagram facility which provides no exercise space whatsoever.Having said all this, Faena is still conveys good quality overall. A lifestyle hotel in effectively a business district means that it falls between two stools but is probably still one of the top spots in Buenos Aires.

I just spent two days in Buenos Aires for work and stayed at the Faena Hotel. What an incredible experience. From the moment I arrived, the check-in was warm, attentive, and professional. The service throughout the stay was excellent, especially the room service, which was impressively fast.|The hotel itself is unique and simply stunning. The atmosphere is one of a kind, and the decoration is always bold, artistic, and impactful — every corner feels special.|Highlights:|• The sambayón (zambayón) ice cream is an absolute must-try.|• The gym is by far the best-equipped in the Puerto Madero area. I’ve stayed at several nearby hotels, and none come close.|• If you have time, book a massage at the spa — it’s fantastic.|For dining, my favorite was El Mercado. The rocket (arugula) salad, entraña or lomo, and the pavlova for dessert make the perfect meal. It’s truly a recipe for heaven!|The location in Puerto Madero is excellent — safe, beautiful, and perfect for pleasant walks.|Overall, the Faena delivers a memorable, high-end experience with exceptional service, unique design, and great comfort. Perfect for both business and leisure trips. Highly recommended!

The hotel itself is a tourist attraction. The red velvet decor, the pool area and all the corridors, bar, restaurant - fantastic vibe! Room was large and very nice, as well as very helpful staff. My trip was on business, so I didn't have much time to enjoy the surroundings and the hotel facilities, but will definitely come back with the spouse!

We stayed 2 nights in March 2026 at the FAENA Hotel before our 3 weeks cruise back to Europe. The hotel is perfect centrally located at the stylish modern Porto Madero. Our whole stay was amazing and we felt the professional hospitality and the positiv spirit of the staff. Friendly personal service at the reception, spa, bar and restaurants. The style of this hotel was great and we enjoyed the whole stay. We had a fine lunch and 2 dinner at both restaurants in the hotel. (Restaurant el Mercado and the elegant stylish Italpast).|The nice room was functional, elegant, cosy and stylish. The breakfast at the hotel excellent. Already the offered hotel pre-services and reservation handling before our stay where really professional too and helpful. The hotel has organised our airport and habour car-transfers and gave us suggestions about sight seening programmes. A great concierge team.|The Rojo Tango location " Il Cabaret" directly in the hotel, was really great for our final evening with a fantastic professional tango show in a elegant setting with fine wines and excellent friendly service. As experienced travellers and we can really recommend this elegant hotel in Buones Aires.
