Faena New York

Hotel details

Faena New York is a striking new luxury hotel and cultural destination in Manhattan’s West Chelsea neighborhood, officially opening in 2025 at the iconic 500 West 18th Street development overlooking the High Line. It marks the celebrated Argentine hospitality brand’s first New York property, bringing its signature blend of art, design, and immersive experiences to one of the city’s most dynamic districts.

Designed by the Bjarke Ingels Group with interiors by the Faena Design Team and Peter Mikic, the hotel occupies ten floors and houses 120 beautifully appointed rooms and suites featuring floor-to-ceiling windows with sweeping views of the Hudson River and New York skyline. The dramatic two-story Faena Suite includes three king bedrooms, a landscaped terrace, and a baby grand piano, offering an unforgettable penthouse experience.

Art and culture are central to the Faena New York experience. Guests are welcomed through The Cathedral, where a monumental mural by Argentine artist Diego Gravinese sets the tone for a stay intertwined with creativity. Public art installations and performances curated by Faena Art, the brand’s nonprofit foundation, extend into the plaza and are communal for special events.

Dining and social life at Faena are equally compelling. World-renowned chef Francis Mallmann helms La Boca, drawing on Argentine culinary traditions, while The Living Room serves as the social heart with live music, cocktails, and a terrace above the High Line. Hidden gems like El Secreto and La Cava add intimacy and intrigue.

With upcoming additions like the 12,000-square-foot Tierra Santa Healing House wellness sanctuary and the spring 2026 Faena Theater, Faena New York aims to be more than a hotel—it’s a vibrant hub of luxury, art, and cultural engagement in the heart of the city.
