Discover Casa Faena in the heart of Miami Beach’s colorful Faena District. A charming beachside guesthouse located steps away from the Atlantic Ocean, Casa Faena was built in 1928 as El Paraiso Apartments. The building’s design, décor, and amenities are steeped in Miami Beach’s early Spanish architectural roots and Mediterranean flare. The hotel was designed by architect Martin L. Hampton, who also designed Miami Beach’s city hall. The guesthouse’s philosophy is simple: create a home-away-from-home in the heart of one of the nation’s most attractive tropical destinations. Stylish and relaxed, sun-filled guestrooms provide a welcoming retreat. Step outside and experience the wonders of the Faena District.
