in downtown Miami, the
Argentine developer Alan
Faena aimed to create, as he has
described it, "a new paradigm of the
Miami lifestyle, one where design,
refined hospitality, and culture con­
verge." To bring this vision to life, he
enlisted the help of a global brain
trust of creatives, from architects
Norman Foster and Rem Koolhaas
to noted Hollywood filmmaker Baz
Luhrmann, who helped design inte­
riors for the development's center­
piece, the Faena Hotel Miami Beach.
In addition to the hotel, the district
is home to art museums, residences,
restaurants, and more. With this gift,
one Robb Report reader has the oppor­
tunity to live the high life atop Faena's
