The Living Room

We came here for pre-show theater cocktails and having dinner earlier, we obviously didn’t get a chance to try the food(next time). It took a while for someone to take our drink order. There’s definitely an aloofness to at least the server we had, but eventually she warmed up enough to snap a picture of the four of us. The cocktails themselves were very good, but the reason you come here is the ambiance, the room is drop dead gorgeous.

Absolutely shocked by how I was treated here. A staff member aggressively shouted, “Don’t be recording! Get out!” — seriously? This is a public space, and I still had my wine on the table! The tone was hostile and unprofessional. Recording in public areas is legally allowed, yet I was treated like anything but a valued guest — after spending $500 here — simply for taking out my phone. To make matters worse, there was a disturbing scene involving someone being arrested right in front of me — it felt chaotic and traumatic. What was meant to be a relaxing evening turned into an upsetting experience. The staff’s behavior completely ruined the night. I won’t be coming back, and I can’t recommend this place to anyone looking for a welcoming or respectful environment.

Great spot for pre-dinner drinks and snacks! Dress code is strict so dress your best and they do charge per person to sit down which is normal and was not over priced, great wine selection!

This place was a massive disappointment. After enjoying a beautiful (and expensive) dinner next door, we came here hoping to have a drink in the so-called “living room.” We were turned away — not because of inappropriate behavior or anything egregious — but because one of our friends was wearing elegant, high-end, open-toed flats. Not casual flip-flops, not beachwear — expensive designer flats. Even after the manager was consulted, we were still denied entry over this ridiculous “policy.” It’s absurd and pretentious, and frankly, insulting. Save yourself the time, money, and aggravation. This place is a joke.

I first enjoyed Faena Hotel’s Living Room about 10 years ago. Today, it’s still among Miami’s most elegant lounges. The live music is well curated, service excellent, and lavish plush interiors a joy to indulge in. Lewis, the doorman at Faena, sets the tone with a warm smile from the very beginning. Looking forward to returning again later this week.

Wow, what an amazing experience. After only 65 minutes of standing in line — while they rolled out the red carpet for any lady who “knew the manager” — my friends and I were informed we’d need to hand over a credit card with a $100 minimum each person just to stand at the bar. They even kicked out a single guy for the crime of being… alone. So, moral of the story: unless you’re besties with the manager or on the hunt for “sugars,” don’t bother.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting The Living Room and was thoroughly impressed by the experience. From the chic ambiance to the expertly crafted cocktails, every aspect exceeded my expectations. However, what truly made my visit memorable was the exceptional service provided by Karen, one of the bartenders. Her expertise in mixology was evident in every drink she prepared, each one a perfect balance of flavors and presentation. Not only was she skilled behind the bar, but Karen also had a warm and welcoming demeanor that added to the overall atmosphere of the lounge. Her attention to detail and genuine passion for her craft truly enhanced my evening. I would highly recommend The Living Room to anyone looking for a sophisticated and enjoyable night out, with Karen's talents as an added bonus. The live music was the cherry on top.

Great place to mingle. Live music and classical south beach Miami art deco atmosphere are nice addition to diverse night life of Miami. Great place to continue your night after dinner with friends

I came here for my birthday because I LOVE this place, especially when Louis Amanti is performing! The food, service and ambiance are amazing here. Drinks are so good, service is excellent and always a good time! This time we reserved a table with a direct view of the stage, the bar is always great as well. We also ordered a churro dessert and they wrote "Happy Birthday" on it for me, very nice of them. I will continue coming back!

Living room is always a good time. Live entertainment and service is always on point. They truly find the most talented people on the planet. I had a couple of mocktails that were just ok, nothing spectacular and their dishes were a hit or miss. My fave was the shrimp tacos and the shrimp sushi. Their steaks with sliced potatoes were pretty tasty as well. They also had a seafood ceviche like dish with a green sauce that was pretty good. All others were just ok. It is a fun place to visit at least once, while you are in Miami.

It's a fun bar with live music. It's expensive, it's great for people watching, and it's great for dancing. As hotel guests we were able to walk right in and over Labor Day weekend went twice.

I recently attended a conscious rave - ie no alcohol, yoga and sound bowl vibes at the beginning and end and great music in between in the sand behind the Faena Hotel. (I'm sure in my younger years there might have been one or two in the same area when the buildings in this strip were not as fancy but anywho.) The day rave was hosted by a group of promoters known as Daybreakers and the music was downtempo, a little bit of breaks, and some good ambient. But back to the Faena Hotel: with the spiritual artistic murals in the lobby the entrance toward their back beach was absolutely perfect. After passing the murals, walking past the golden mammoth sculpture, the early evening was perfect for getting down. The beach behind Faena has a breakwater boulder that are perfect for zoning out by the water or having a friend pose for her mermaid pictures as well. Then came great dining. Since we were in shorts and beachy overall, dinner was at their Sun Bar outside terrace. The wonderful Sinatra cover band, playing well past 11PM eased our transition back from raver to corporate and adulthood. Seriously, this gent played all the great Sinatra tracks & closing out with "My Way". My beef burger was "sinfully" delicious. Close your eyes and visualize a juicy blend of juicy half pound beef. Feel the flame of medium well while preserving the juiciness. Picture a flavorful mountain of caramelized onions..swiss cheese..brioche..sweet BBQ sauce. Continue this journey with slightly crispy fries...Immerse yourself in a citrusy cascade of golden Brugal rum. Savor the crispy orange flavor of the mascarpone, journey to its sweet creamy center all the while sipping an Amaretto nightcap. Allow your senses to luxuriate in this journey of flavor. You may open your eyes :)

Came here after dinner for drinks and to hear music and it was such a vibe for a Monday night. The decor is so beautiful and grand. The drinks were delicious and i loved the complimentary drink snacks they bring out (popcorn, olives, and nuts). I also ordered a dessert to share and it was by far the best dessert I've ever had. Everyone was really nice as well so I will definitely be back.

A hidden gem in Miami. All the staff there were amazing and very service oriented. When we were walking in, security and Joshua were dealing with an unruly patron very professionally and kept his poise and handled the situation perfectly. Joshua didn't let that affect any of the other patrons and it was a lovely night. He was running around the entire night, checking on all tables and ensuring everyone was having a good time. I have been to a lot of different clubs and venues and he was by far the best I've ever seen, that's the reason for writing this review. The ambience was fun and lively with a lot of beautiful people and a live band for half the night that was singing a wide range from pop to rock and greatest hits.

Horrible Service Upon arrival the bouncer at the door was more interested on flirting on the job with women than attending the front door even getting the ladys number. After finally getting in the door had to stand at bar like we were invisible. The gentleman that arrived after us was attended to immediately and had an issue with bartender (joseph) apparently he had over charged him for 2 shots he didn't order he requested a refund. Finally I got to order my drinks after 25 min. I ordered one house tequila orange drink and one house champagne. He gave us an oder we didn't ask for charging my card 4 shots for one drink and champagne total was over $180.00...I spoke out about it he then handed me 2 shots of house tequila..as if to compensate for incorrect charges...didn't offer me the option of refunding the incorrect charge how he did with previous customer. I'm very disappointed that such a high end establishment would stoop so low to bring up the check illegally to bring up the gratuity since it's included. This is wrong keep this in mind if you decide to visit this establishment. I will not recommend this place and will no longer visit it either.

The most laughable place i have ever visited. A lady at the door (a so called hostess lol) in a cheap outfit she probably scored on a huge sale somewhere in a discount store, with absolutely no sense of class, is in charge of evaluating a dress code of potential patrons and patronesses as an elegant chic. How ironic lol. Highly not recommended - the service is below all expectations. The place pretends to be classy and exclusive while exhibiting lots of trashy vibes.

This place gets lively at night with the live band. People let loose even though its a classy joint. You can come to people watch or enjoy the music. Both are great. You are bound to see a celebrity or 2 if you are into that. The drinks are overpriced but you pay for the atmosphere. Fun place and a must try when in Miami. When it gets busy they only allow hotel guests and people with reservations in so beware. Cool spot overall.

This place is all hype and no substance. Sure, Miami has plenty of places that fit that description but this place takes it a step further. Waitstaff and other staff were straight up rude, and clearly were evaluating the quality of dress/shoes/handbag/ diamond carats to assess how well to treat you. This feels like the opposite of hospitality. (Or maybe I have too much self respect to go to places like this? ) the "evaluation" from the bouncer getting in felt like being an insecure 20yr old trying to get invited to someone else' section for free drinks in exchange for flirts at a night club. No thanks I'll get my own table. (Likely elsewhere) Two stars because the food was decent (but not particularity noteworthy) and the venue was pretty.

Super arbitrary door policy and straight up unprofessional. Didn't make any sense, would not come here ever. There are better places that don't do the faux energy and where your money is better spent.

absolutely beautiful ambiance and a dope spot. I cannot wait to come back and enjoy it again. What a perfectly tailored place with excellent taste. You can't go wrong here.

My favorite place to go for drinks in Miami Beach! This upscale hotel is classy and sophisticated and so much fun with the live music. The jazz nights are the best and the drinks are all so delicious - I love the cinnamon rum cocktail and also the rose martini.

I had friends in town so we stopped by here after dinner to check it out because ive heard great reviews and seen lotsa posts on instagram. The hotel is pretty but dated. Some parts looked old and dirty probably need a update. I guess this place has been around for a while so its not as new and clean. I don't know about the rooms or restaurants since i only came here for the lounges. The living room seems nice and on the weekend it's packed. 1/2 of the place is members / hotel guests only so we cant get in. I understand this exclusivity policy but we are all dressed up and just wanted to check out the place i dont see why they would turn people away. Anyway we couldnt find a place to sit and the staff were unfriendly so we left. There are plenty of hotels in miami that are nicer so i see no reason i would come here again.

We decided to bar hop and this was one of the bars we visited. The hotel looks beautiful and the bar was well decorated. The bar itself was packed and there was no standing room at the bar or any sitting room available. I ordered a sex on the beach and it did not taste like one at all; very disappointing for the price. We saw others ask for their drinks to be remade as well. Music was okay but definitely not worth just standing around for. We left after 1 drink.

I really enjoyed this place. It was pouring down outside & the decor which included completely closed curtains made me forget about the weather. This along with the hotel truly transcend Miami & made us believe we were at a resort in the Caribbean. The drinks were flavorful, stiff & crafted to damn near perfection. The truffle potato chips were freshly made albeit having a merely faint truffle flavor. My sliders weren't the most decadent of beef but the truffle cream made them delicious. The croquettes came with a slightly spicy sauce which truly made them heavenly. Thus far this is the best meal we've had while in Miami & I'm not sure if that's a testament to how mediocre Miami cuisine is or how amazing this lounge but but I'll go with the latter.

Highly recommend the black truffle gnocchi at Faena, it was so good I couldn't stop! The snapper was okay, not my favorite dish overall. We really loved the setting of the restaurant and definitely took a lot of photos on the grounds. We were seated outdoors and it was great weather, the rain was kept at bay with their overhead covers. Would recommend if you're looking for a vibrant spot to get dinner!

Excellent food and service. An incredible over the top ambiance with live music. The dessert was out of this world. Something with pear and tasted a lot like tiramisu, too! Love coming here for a delicious dinner and tons of fun!

I have been eyeing the Faena Living Room for quite some time, their events are very on brand for me (ie cognac bingo nights!!) but due to expense it usually got pushed to the end of the list. Last night I finally made it! This winter they've added live music nights during the week! I stopped by with some friends and went straight to the bar closest to the musicians. (Tip: they validate parking bringing valet from $30 to $25, still hurts but a little less) the cocktail menu starts at around $20 but the drinks are good (not great). The bar menu is several pages long, which after flipping through you'll realize is due to the long list of available alcohols (ex: 2 pages of tequila NOT including Mezcal). When walking in the lobby is GORGEOUS, the walls are wallpapered in extravagant murals while there are large gold pillars lined up separated by plain benches. Great balance. Entering the living room you're slapped with old school swank. Velvet couches, dim lighting, and dozens of hidden ceramic leopards. It's a bit much but that's the vibe. The food at the bar was good, not great. We had the sliders (good), tacos (meh), peppers (meh), truffle fries (v good) and tempura shrimp (v good). You pay for the overall experience. Another thing, just bc it's expensive doesn't mean you need to dress to kill. People stay at this hotel and come down super casual, you won't stand out dressed up but it's not a requirement.

Terrible experience on a Saturday night. Shay & Richard at the front door pick and choose who they want to allow in, prioritizing their friends and acquaintances. They would deny hotel guests and people actually willing to spend money. I thought Living Room at Faena was a step above the rest, but it's definitely not. Don't spend your money or time here - I'm not sure what type of business they are trying to run. This place is going down just like the rest. Disgusting!

This place is totally fabulous. Located inside the Faena Hotel, it seems to be in my opinion the classiest bar in the entire hotel. Exuding elegance and panache, this dimly lit and sleek bar is the perfect reason to dress up and enjoy an evening of drinks in a classy retro setting while surrounded by beautiful decor and art. The drinks are certainly priced quite steep but this is the Faena after all. It's posh and refined yet vivid and entertainingly luxurious so keep that in mind when you're selecting your outfit. This hotel is so beautiful, it would be a sin to miss on a night in Miami Beach. We ordered Rosé and it was served at the perfectly chilled temperature along with the best service which made the tab worthwhile. Checkout their specialty cocktail list as they make elaborate concoctions that are super instaworthy and refreshingly delectable.

tldr: It's been a while since I encountered such a rude and unprofessional hostess and been deemed an unsuitable guest to enter and condescendingly turned away. The Living Room at the Faena has long been my favorite cocktail spot in Miami Beach. Pre-pandemic this was our usual spot after dinner at Scarpetta.  Having returned to Miami post pandemic, we were set on returning to the Living Room changing out our  dinner location to the new restaurant at the Faena-- Pao. Unfortunately, what started as a lovely night very quickly turned sour.    As we approached the Living Room, we were asked to wait in the cordoned off area for the Hostess/Manager who had a title equivalent to "Director of Ambiance." We waited politely, and the lady came out, and provided NO invitation or pleasantries, but instead gave us a cold face, pursed her lips, and gave us an obvious up and down look over.  It could not be more rude or demeaning (echoing someone elses's comment - "condescending"). To be clear-- we are professionals in our late 30's from NYC, dressed very well and rather formally  for the fancy restaurant we had just been in, and would have been welcomed to any other establishment-- except this one apparently. The "Director of Ambiance" then proceeded to ask us three questions (do you have a reservation?- no they only take reservations by email and previously not required; are you staying at the hotel?; are you part of the Rose club?) and then told us literally "sorry its policy I can't let you in."  There was no line, the place was clearly empty as we could see inside, and as we tried to ask ok can we come in briefly and leave prior to any reservations that you may have (as it was still early- 9pm) she essentially just tried to get rid of us sending us to the concierge with an air that she had better and more important things to do and no time to deal with us-- clearly the empty hallway and bar were calling.  (PS the concierge was lovely, and went back twice to reason with her and on a second try reached a deal that we would be let in if we spent  $250 a head-- an option the hostess did not even entertain us with. Could we afford it - yes, but by this point-- we were done.) I can respect people doing their jobs as the friendly concierge and bouncer demonstrated, but I cannot respect rudeness.  And while I am used to quite a bit of attitude, the attitude displayed here stood out as an example of someone who had just tasted a bit of managerial power and was on a power play. Is the Faena trying to become an exclusive club, only accepting of out of town visitors on the belief that they spend more- possibly. Are they looking for a clubbier/trashier clientele as suggested by the ladies garrish matte red lipstick and attitude - possibly. Too bad I'm not sure I want to go back to find out.

It was my anniversary and I just came from the cabaret show at the theatre (amazing experience ). we wanted to continue the night, and we were rejected from entering the living room because, long story short, we are lesbians. We were dressed very nicely, just not in heels and dresses. The bouncer said "we are full for the night" at 9:45 pm, with no line. Mind you, we had just spent $500 on the theatre + drinks within the faena establishment. It's unfortunate only "certain looking people" can enter. When I told the bouncer "hmm it's because I'm not dressed like a straight girl huh?" He just said "we're full". Lol... it's 9:45 pm on a Saturday night with NO line at the door. Come on now... It just overall was a buzz kill to what was an amazing night. Again, we were very well dressed so it just doesn't make sense. As we were waiting, a girl in a dress, high heels, lip fillers, boobs out, walked out of the living room, and looked at us as she complained to the bouncer that certain people inside weren't dressed to code. Obviously this is the type of clientele that they want in there. Plastic and "bougie". All I can say is, Haters gonna hate. As a local, I'll take my money elsewhere next time. Also, if you've experienced this here, might as well add mayami to the list of places to avoid too. Same vibe as living room. P.s if I was straight I still wouldn't wear heels, it's painful ‍ . byeeeee

The ambiance is chill and romantic. A great classy Miami Beach experience. We were greeted with champagne flutes and were able to secure a private table for our large group the same day we went. The service, food and drinks were on point. The only disappointment was the band. They were "fine-a" :) but not at the level I would expect at one of the most high end hotels on Miami Beach and the live music was the main reason we selected to bring our friends there.

Purely amazing vibes. The staff were super accommodating. Drinks and barmen were spectacular. The crowd was dancing and having fun. Would return anytime i can!

Ever been to a place so good that you go twice on the same day? The ambiance to captivating, sexy and luxurious. The drinks are as unique as they get. Went for a business meeting during the afternoon and met the most wonderful cocktail waitress EVER Maria... she kept us entertained and guided us through the mixology menu until we found the perfect drinks. The faena spritzer js a MUST. We left after a couple of hours and fell in love, fell in love so much that we came back at night and the placed turned into the best upscale lounge full of beautiful people. The best part? When Maria remembers you and keeps making your night get better and better.

If you are in the mood for some good people watching of the perhaps rich and some "hunters" then this is the place for you lol . But in all seriousness, the decoration of the Living Room matches the grandness of Faena. The decoration is leopard/jungle galore . The drinks are pricey as it's expected based on the venue and South Beach location but tasty. On Saturdays they have live music with talented performers. It's an acquired taste of a lounge but still worth checking out at least once to see if it's up your alley. The hotel offers valet and there is a public parking right next to the hotel as well.

I've actually had such a great time going to the living room and getting a drink or during the daytime getting poolside snacks. The staff is extremely friendly and the drinks are very tasty. On weekend evenings it gets pop in and the age ranges anywhere from 21 to 65 and older I would say that majority of people are in their 40-50s. A lot of 70-80s music is playing by the DJ.

This is one of My favorite places to go. However, the past two times I've gone I was very disappointed by the people at the front who allow people in. We were waiting for a good 20 minutes and they only selected people they knew over us. The place itself is stunning but I think they need to be fair and have first come first served. I did not appreciate how they took in others with no reservations when they came way after us. They need to do better because this is unacceptable. Other than that it's a great place and be ready to dress very nice

I DO NOT recommend this establishment, AT ALL! We were a group of 8. Only 5 of us were permitted to enter by the rude "boss lady" who clearly has discriminatory practices as the other 3 from our group were not allowed to enter. When we inquired why she merely stated, "Honey, I can't" and refused to provide an explanation. In interim, she permitted other patrons to freely enter. Her behavior was appalling and disgusting. Our entire group was wearing cocktail attire. Aside from the unjust treatment that half the group received at the door, the bar is boring. It's literally decorated like your grandmother's old living room from the 1960/1970s. There were some sort of DJ wires that were left out in the open, causing a huge liability hazard. We left 5 minutes after entering. Save your time and go somewhere else.

I love the Faena hotel. Have stayed there and dined there multiple times. But trying to go to The Living Room is 10 times harder than it should be. The bouncer is extremely rude and condescending for no reason. He takes his job way too seriously for a hotel bar. I'm in my 20s and live in NYC, I've been to so many cool spots and the bouncer at living room KILLS the whole vibe. He acts like he's working the door at Berghain lol.

I think this is a sexy bar! Elegant interiors with old- world charm. Great live entertainment. We walked around the entire property during art basel and enjoyed the gold mammoth display as well as the international vibe.

I and my friend had lunch at Tree of Life, Faena Hotel, Miami ( listed as Livingroom). I just bought a gorgeous apartment and wanted to share and celebrate this special moment with my friend. I had a great experience at Faena before, so I decided to take my friend from NY there to share the joy and especially treat her with the cauliflower dish that I tried there before. All our excitement got destroyed fairly soon after we ordered the first rounds of drinks and some appetizers: 1. Our server, Kunika, pushed on us the artichokes dish, even though we were planning to order the cauliflower. The dish was incredibly disappointing. When she asked us how it was, we were honest and informed about it politely. We did not ask her to remove it from the bill. She never did remove it, even though it was more than disappointing. 2. My friend asked for a glass of a particular wine that cost 14$, but Kunika brought another one that cost 18$. 3. While we were eating, some woman, that looked more like a cleaning lady, not a server, was trying to take our plates, forks and knives, and glasses away without even asking. We got tired of telling everyone that we were still working on our drinks and meal. 4. After the first set of dishes, she took away my fork. Another server said he would bring the new one, and he never did. Then someone else brought another dish, and I asked for a new fork from that server. This other server said that he would bring it, and he never did either. We both had to sit and stare at the food, trying to get someone's attention to bring me the fork that they never really had to take away. 5. When we ordered the food, we asked for some bread or anything else to dip in the sauce. It took them ages to bring us some chips. In the meantime, we had to watch the plate like a hawk deflecting multiple attempts to take it away. And by the way, as soon as they brought us some chips and we had just a couple, the servers started their attempts to take those chips away as well! 6. She asked us to provide one card for the tab, we told her straight from the beginning that we will want to split the check, so take two cards. But no! She ended up pretending she charged two cards... we even signed two separate checks, but imagine our surprise when only one card got charged! 7. And by the way! The service charge of 20% was included in the bill, and we could not have opted out of it. We paid in total a 20% tip for an egregious service. Terrible service! We do not recommend it to anyone!

Excellent classy bar/speakeasy with live music. Went a couple of Friday nights ago and they had a great salsa band playing. Entered the room to some great Buena Vista Social Club music. Beautiful leopard print chairs throughout. Classy crowd and quite a few viejos y jovenes, LOL. Drink prices seemed quite reasonable, given the establishment--if I recall, a bottle of Heineken was only $8 or $10 at most. Definitely see working this into my monthly rotation.

I was recently introduced to this little hidden gem at Faena. It's a speakeasy. Drinks are excellent. The decor is gorgeous! Reminiscent of the glamour era. This place just transports you to another time. Love the ambiance. Absolutely a must stop for a drink when out for the night on Miami Beach. Highly recommended.

Just got asked to leave because they disagreed with my friend's Star of David despite the fact that we have spent more than $1500 as a group already tonight and that the place wasn't even near full at 9:15. Evidently my friend's attire could be offensive to others. Not to mention when we got there they suggested we sit there vs. in the main dining room or at the outdoor bar and said the table was ours for the night. Service was poor, slow, and disrespectful, so maybe they were doing us a favor by asking us to go down the street to where we would be treated fairly as human beings.

I have visited many places in Miami and this is a place you should avoid. The service was bad the ambiance was terrible. The attitude of the senior staff was bad. We had over a $1000 tab and were asked to leave because we we wearing shorts in their Resurant. There are many places in Miami to go so go to anyplace other than here. We were asked to leave because a friend was wearing a Star of David. I didn't believe that there was racism anywhere but it's here. They were happy to accept our credit card but then we were asked to go change our clothes.

This is a really great place for live music and drinks. It's very eclectic and chic Miami, but it's not stuffy. Everyone is very nice and welcoming. It does get very packed so try to reserve some seats. Their Old Fashioned was very good--pricey, but definitely quality. My wife had a Pimm's Cup and enjoyed it. The live music was phenomenal. We really enjoyed ourselves and look forward to going there again soon.

Supposed to come here next weekend for my gf's bday. Place came highly recommended, but I've had 0 success reaching the coordinator to plan a surprise celebration. Therefore I would not recommend this place for special occasions.

Very snobby bar. After previously being guests here, returned to re-visit the bar with friends. Bouncer took his job wayyyy too seriously. Not what he said but how he said it. He assumed I was underage before asking for my ID- which I am not underage. Made a snarky comment about how we did not fit "dress code" while we were dressed as well as other guests. Very disappointed in the rude behavior and snobbery of this employee. Returning to the 1 Hotel where the employees are friendly, welcoming, and consistent. The Faena has lost my business.

What a beautiful room , it Miami with upscale style, live music , great bar snacks and a mixologist . Great place to people watch and be seen. The wait staff all have uniform like attire and look fancy. It's just a beautiful seen with beautiful interior.

I was so happy to finally find some live music. It was Latin Jazz, but hey it was good just different. I enjoyed the more sophisticated crowd. I also enjoyed the good bartender service.

The decor in the entire hotel transports you to someplace exotic and out of the movies. The restaurant was great food for some reason I was expecting a bit more.

WOW what an excellent hidden gem in Miami that doesn't seem to be very hidden anymore! I am in love with this beautiful lounge. Its very different than anything I have experienced in Miami or really any hotel. A gorgeous upscale room with dazzling interior designs and statues of animals. Resembles an old age glamour era. The ambience is classy yet such a captivating crowd. The waiters and waitresses are dressed magnificent and are very attentive. There's plenty of space to lounge and sit which is great. When I was there they had awesome live music. The girl singing was a show stopper - her voice was incredible. My only complaint really are the prices - it's not like there's a great view of the beach so you are not paying for location. You can take a walk by the pool but its nothing too impressive. The drinks are just ridiculously over priced but that's Miami. Their Faena red wine is DELICIOUS though. If you like big cab's you will really enjoy. I definitely intend to visit back soon! Great place to take guest in town or even have a drink with a girl friend before going out dancing :)

We were more than fine when we were spending copious amount of money at the bar. Once the music started our money was no longer green all of a sudden. After I ordered a "jack and diet" I saw a regular Pepsi dumped into my cup. I asked if it was diet and was told no but I heard about that drink for a solid ten minutes after. If you miss hear an order you should just dump it out and move on. Carbs are important for people and making jest of that to someone's face shouldn't happen. Take your money elsewhere there are plenty of places to get a drink and a bite this isn't it.

We came here on a Saturday night around 11 p.m. We saw the big golden mammoth skeleton which was pretty neat. We went upstairs to the living room and had some cocktails. The drink the one with rum that they lit on fire... It was too sweet and tart. My two guy friends also had the drink and took one Sip and we're not able to finish it the place is nice I just don't recommend that cocktail in particular. We wanted to go to the lounge but I did not open until 12. And we did not feel like waiting.

On Saturday night December 8th 2018, went to view some of the Art fr Art Basel. Decided to get drinks at The Living Room. The tall gentleman Namonja who was rude, condescending to us. These are the ppl, give them a little power and it goes to their heads. At the end of the day, he's just a bouncer. My friend decided to get drinks on the outside patio which was awful, paying $62.00 plus gratuity, only to be served in plastic cups and mind you the very cheapest you could find. I will never go back there! To watch people doling out big bucks, so they could feel this is hip, I have to laugh! This hotel is a joke and I would never spend a dime, so I can be seen there! People have stop being insecure, so places like this doesn't separate you from your hard earned money, so you can impress your friends or girlfriends... just sayin!

Terribly overpriced! One glass of Chablis one Pimms Cocktail and one order of fresh spring rolls $78!

They need to fire Laura that was bar tending Saturday night. All other bar tenders were so busy she was chit chatting with her friend right next to me, wouldn't stop talking not working so I gave her $20 and asked for WATER, she took it and kept talking. Made some other drinks and I tried to flag her down for my water. Finally she walked by and I waved and they only thing she did was wave her finger at me and say "not cute" WTF. So I brought my friends over to watch her purposefully not look at me. SO WEIRD. I TOLD HER CO WORKER AND HE SAID "YA SHE DOESNT LIKE WHEN PEOPLE WAVE HER DOWN" WTF!!!! We are not paying to go out to try to please the bartender we are not only paying but TIPPING!!!! I was dying of thirst, paying $2,000 a NIGHT to stay at Faena , and she thinks it's ok to mess with guests?? She is a disservice to your business!!! Many other girls there said she would only serve guys and were complaining about her. Mind you this is people paying and tipping.
