Book the Faena New York with VIP Benefits

In the heart of West Chelsea, where creativity, architecture, and culture converge, a new landmark. Faena New York represents the brand's first venture into Manhattan, following the transformative debuts of Faena Buenos Aires and Faena Miami Beach. True to Alan Faena's ethos, this property is not simply a hotel but an immersive world where art, design, and hospitality are seamlessly intertwined. Situated within One High Line, the iconic architectural project by Bjarke Ingels, the hotel occupies a full city block overlooking the High Line Park and the Hudson River. This bold addition to the New York skyline is a dialogue between vision and place, a gesture that honors both the city's storied past and its boundless spirit of reinvention.

Architecture and Location

The location of Faena New York is no coincidence. Alan Faena has always gravitated toward neighborhoods that embody transformation and creativity. The waterfront site in Chelsea echoes the spirit of Buenos Aires' old ports while embracing the energy of Manhattan's most dynamic district. Designed in collaboration with Bjarke Ingels, the architecture combines modern innovation with contextual sensitivity, creating a building that feels both rooted and forward-looking. The hotel sits at the crossroads of the city's art scene, close to the Meatpacking District, Greenwich Village, and Hudson Yards, with Madison Square Garden and Little Island just a short walk away. From this vantage point, Faena New York promises to become both a cultural destination and a luxurious retreat.

Interiors and Design Philosophy

Inside, the design reflects a thoughtful collaboration between Alan Faena, the Faena Design Team, and Peter Mikic Studios. Each of the 120 rooms and suites has been conceived as a sanctuary suspended above the city, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering sweeping views of the skyline, the High Line, or the Hudson River. The interiors fuse Faena's symbolic design language with local influences, creating an atmosphere that is at once serene and vibrant. Rich textures, carefully chosen color palettes, and bespoke furnishings express the brand's unmistakable aesthetic. Select signature suites include expansive terraces—rare in Manhattan—which serve as private havens where guests can experience the rhythm of the city from above while enjoying an unparalleled sense of privacy.

Rooms and Suites for Every Traveler

Faena New York's accommodations range from intimate Classic King Rooms to palatial multi-bedroom signature suites. Each category has been carefully designed to maximize comfort, space, and a sense of discovery. Options include King and Queen-Queen rooms, Junior Suites overlooking the High Line, and One-Bedroom Suites in different configurations. For those seeking extraordinary experiences, the signature collection offers the Chelsea Suites, the Rose and Crystal Suites with terraces, and the Imperial Suite. At the pinnacle, the Faena Three-Bedroom Suite and the Faena Ten-Bedroom Suite redefine the concept of luxury hospitality in New York, with terraces that provide unmatched views and expansive layouts for hosting private gatherings or simply indulging in space rarely found in the city. Every room and suite is equipped with 24-hour room service, including signature dishes from the hotel's restaurants, ensuring that comfort and gastronomy extend seamlessly into private spaces.

Tierra Santa Healing House: A Temple of Wellness

A defining feature of Faena New York is Tierra Santa Healing House, one of the largest spas in the city. Spanning 12,000 square feet, this South American–inspired sanctuary blends ancient rituals with contemporary wellness practices. Guests are invited to embark on transformative journeys through bespoke treatments, a Faena signature hammam, infrared and dry saunas, steam rooms, and plunge pools offering a range of temperatures. To preserve its peaceful spirit, Tierra Santa Healing House is reserved as an adults-only experience, ensuring tranquility and reflection. In addition to treatments, the spa houses a movement studio and a state-of-the-art fitness center, making it a holistic destination for body, mind, and spirit. This is not merely a spa but an oasis of ritual and renewal, designed to align with Faena's philosophy of transformation.

Culinary Excellence with Francis Mallmann

At the ground floor of the hotel, acclaimed Argentine chef Francis Mallmann presents La Boca, a vibrant restaurant inspired by the neighborhood of Buenos Aires that bears the same name. The restaurant overlooks 10th Avenue and the High Line Plaza, creating a sense of connection between the indoors and the city's flow. With a 140-seat dining room and a semi-private section accommodating 57 guests, La Boca serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner in a setting that combines bold flavors with live entertainment. Evenings unfold with live music that evolves into DJ sets, turning dining into a multisensory experience. Mallmann's fire-driven cuisine, known for its theatricality and authenticity, is the centerpiece, while the space itself becomes a love letter to Argentina, artfully transposed into Manhattan.

A Living Room with a Pulse

The second floor houses the Living Room, which serves as the beating heart of Faena New York. With two bars, 134 seats, and a 900-square-foot terrace overlooking the High Line, the Living Room embodies the brand's philosophy of hospitality as theater. Open from late afternoon until late into the night, it offers carefully curated cocktails, light fare, and nightly live performances. A 160-foot-long gallery connects the Living Room with El Secreto and La Cava, ensuring that each space flows naturally into the next. The Living Room is more than a bar or lounge; it is a stage for connection, where locals and visitors alike can share in the rhythm of the city.

El Secreto and La Cava: Intimacy and Discovery

Hidden behind an unmarked door lies El Secreto, Faena New York's exclusive speakeasy. Conceived by Alan Faena, this intimate salon combines mystery, indulgence, and opulence. With its atmosphere of secrecy and discovery, El Secreto invites guests to step into a world apart, where every detail has been designed to evoke wonder. Nearby, La Cava pays homage to the original Faena wine cellar in Buenos Aires. With only 24 seats, this lush, emerald-toned setting is ideal for private gatherings and curated wine experiences. Together, these spaces expand Faena New York's nightlife offering into something layered, seductive, and deeply immersive.

A Stage for Art and Culture

Faena Art has long been a platform for groundbreaking artistic expression, commissioning cross-disciplinary works that fuse art, science, philosophy, and social practice. In Buenos Aires and Miami, Faena Art transformed cultural landscapes with installations, residencies, and public programming. In New York, the organization is set to continue this mission, weaving iconic artworks throughout the hotel and staging dynamic projects that push boundaries. Every corner of Faena New York becomes a canvas, blurring the line between hospitality and art space. This integration ensures that the hotel is not merely a place to stay but also a cultural hub that contributes to the ongoing dialogue of the city's creative scene.

Hospitality with a Human Touch

Beyond its architectural beauty and cultural programming, Faena New York distinguishes itself through service. Guests in Signature Suites will enjoy a dedicated assistant, ensuring a personalized experience that anticipates every need. A Lincoln house car will provide convenient transfers, adding a touch of ease to urban exploration. Whether for international travelers or New Yorkers seeking an extraordinary evening, the hotel combines meticulous attention to detail with the warmth of genuine hospitality. This human-centered approach aligns with Faena's belief that hospitality is not simply about luxury but about creating spaces where people feel inspired, transformed, and connected.

A Landmark in the Making

Faena New York is poised to redefine what a hotel can represent in Manhattan. More than accommodations, more than dining or wellness, it is a cultural gesture that captures the essence of New York itself. The hotel invites guests into a world where art is omnipresent, where wellness is ritual, where cuisine is performance, and where every space is designed for discovery. As Alan Faena once said, his vision has always been about transformation, about breathing new energy into places already alive with history. With Faena New York, this vision arrives in the city that never sleeps, offering an experience that is timeless, dynamic, and unmistakably Faena.
