Faena New York opened earlier this month in Manhattan. The opening follows the brand debut two decades ago in Buenos Aires and 10 years since the opening of Faena Miami Beach.
“New York City has historically been the center of innovation, creativity, and pushing boundaries," Founder Alan Faena said in a statement. "Faena embraces and amplifies that spirit, offering a touch of magic that honors and contributes to the vibrant legacy of New York."
Internationally-known chef Francis Mallmann helms the property’s signature restaurant, La Boca.
Conceived by the Faena Design Team together with design collaborator Peter Mikic, the interiors bring Faena’s creative ethos to life through richly layered spaces, where bold patterns and iconic symbolism meet the theatrical elegance inspired by old New York glamour. Bathed in natural light from floor-to-ceiling windows, every room and suite evokes the quiet drama of an urban dreamscape.
The journey begins in The Cathderal, where a monumental site-specific mural by Argentine artist Diego Gravinese unfolds across the lobby’s soaring walls titled The Sefirotic Journey.
Located at 500 West 18th Street and overlooking the High Line, the building by the renowned Bjarke Ingels Group, the property spans 120 guestrooms and suites, with immersive spaces for dining, gathering and restoration—including The Living Room, Faena Theater, Tierra Santa Healing House, and an open-air plaza inviting the city in.
Each space is part of a living narrative that carries forward Faena’s mission to merge art, culture, and community into unforgettable experiences. Together, these elements create a cultural destination where art, architecture, and atmosphere intertwine, each setting contributing to the larger Faena story.
Every room and suite has rich textures, sculptural furnishings and Faena’s signature symbology, with floor-to-ceiling windows framing views of the Hudson River and New York skyline.
