Faena has announced the upcoming opening of Faena New York, scheduled for late spring 2025. Located at 500 West 18th Street, overlooking the High Line, Faena New York has been designed by the Bjarke Ingels Group. The new property marks two decades since Faena’s debut in Buenos Aires, and a decade since the launch of Faena Miami Beach.
Faena New York will offer 120 guestrooms and suites, alongside the Tierra Santa Healing House, a range of food and beverage venues, and nightlife programming.
Each Faena property reflects the brand’s commitment to art and cultural immersion, elevating communities, and creating destinations that inspire both travelers and locals alike.
François-Olivier Luiggi has been named general manager of Faena New York. He brings over 25 years of experience managing diverse luxury properties, including senior leadership positions at The Mark, The Carlyle, and his recent eight-year tenure as general manager of The Pierre, a Taj Hotel, New York. His extensive career also includes a pivotal role in launching 19 Four Seasons hotels and resorts globally, giving him a deep understanding of the luxury traveler’s evolving needs.
Faena was founded by Alan Faena and Len Blavatnik in 2000. “New York City has historically been the center of innovation, creativity, and pushing boundaries. Faena will embrace and amplify that spirit, offering a touch of magic that honors and contributes to the vibrant legacy of New York,” said Alan Faena.
