As Argentina's largest city, Buenos Aires is a seductive world capital along the Rio de la Plata (Silver River). Built by European immigrants, Buenos Aires blends European architecture with a South American flare and resembles parts of Paris, Barcelona and Rome.
The Faena Hotel + Universe Buenos Aires won the Best Business Hotel in 2010 and One of the Top 500 Hotels in the World, which is a Five Diamond Hotel award from the American Academy of Hospitality Sciences.
According to Lonely Planet author Danny Palmerlee, this luxury hotel-apartment-fantasy-world is the most decadent, sumptuous, sexy, over-the-top hotel in Buenos Aires, and the price tag matches. This reservation-only dreamland treats guests to a personal 'experience manager,' swan-head faucets and marbled counters, exquisitely lavish guestrooms with marble bathrooms, and windows overlooking Buenos Aires or the Río de La Plata. Guests may dine or swoon over drinks in the fantasy inspired bar, lounge, restaurant, and Alice in Wonderland-esq bistro studded with mounted unicorn heads. Faena also offers a luxury outdoor pool and an opulent spa.
