The Bar/Lounge at Faena Miami Beach

"The property houses a 3,000-square-foot cabaret theater and the Tierra Santa Spa, the first South American-inspired facility of its kind in Miami"

"The lobby has eight Juan Gatti murals, including neo-Baroque images of skulls and horses"

"Reservations are strictly required for seats at Saxony, the hotel’s tony black-and-silver cocktail bar"

"There is no resort fee, yet the owner puts on one of the best beach-club inspired settings around, with complimentary loungers and umbrellas, beach towels, sunscreen and fast tableside service offering a menu of beverages and light fare"

"Next to Veranda, the Living Room provides an intimate gathering space with a cocktail bar and nightly live entertainment"

"So this hotel—make that universe—really does make you feel like you’re in a movie, whether it’s sweeping into the grand mosaic-lined entry chamber without a check-in desk in sight, or being swept into the decadent, Miami-of-the-1930s mood of the lounge, where waitresses in red cocktail dresses strut to the beat of a live Cuban band beneath a grand chandelier"
