I cannot seem to take my eyes off the stark white and red colors of this ultra-chic designer hotel. The look is so crisp and vibrant; modern yet classic. Faena Hotel and Universe is situated in one of my favorite cities, Buenos Aires. Designers Faena and Philippe Starck create drama out of the crumbling turn-of-the-century El Porteño building on the Puerto Madero docklands, turning it into a 'temple to pleasure'.
The sophisticated interiors are inspired by early 20th-century transatlantic liners, with a mix of Starck's new designs and antiques picked up at local markets and auctions. The rooms all have views of either the docks or the river. There's a bistro, a cabaret, a spectacular outdoor pool and a gym/spa/hamam with genuine Turkish baths. Priced from $300, the decor itself seems worth every cent.
