Casa Faena Miami Beach
Miami Beach, Florida
Mid-Beach
Vibe
Original terrazzo floors and a Mediterranean Revival shell give this Mid-Beach retreat the feel of an earlier Miami.
“Mediterranean terrazzo retreat”
Campo pairs a sun-painted central pillar with pink stripes and palm motifs.
Former El Paraiso Apartments retain original terrazzo floors beneath their Mediterranean Revival shell.
Campo's bar and outdoor terrace complement an atrium lounge furnished with sofas.
On Collins Avenue in Mid-Beach, steps from the boardwalk and a short ride from Lincoln Road.
“No two are alike — each room has its own unique touches, adding to the sensation that you’re staying in a thirties-era inn...”
Rooms
No two interiors are alike, giving a guesthouse feel, while pillow-top mattresses, Egyptian cotton sheets and down comforters anchor the beds.
Backstory
The building began as El Paraiso Apartments and was later leased by the U.S. Army Air Forces during World War II.
Eat & drink
Campo Casa Faena serves Latin-inspired New American food beneath a sun-painted pillar, with a bar and outdoor terrace extending the scene.

The app
This is one hotel. The app has every one we rate, in your pocket, for the whole trip.
Our shorthand
What makes a hotel special, how well they pull it off, and what it feels like outside the door.
How well they pull it off
Extremely rare. Sets the global standard.
Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.
They did this well. You’ll notice.
A defining trait. Makes the hotel what it is.
The eight vibes
Architecture and interiors lead. There’s a creative vision at work.
The guest is conspicuously well cared for. Requests met before they’re made.
Rooted in place. Local character runs through the whole stay.
Energy and scene. Where the city goes out, whether or not it’s sleeping here.
A building with history. The story of the place is part of the stay.
Built around feeling better. Rest, sweat, soak, spa.
A hotel the city grew up with. Same rituals, same regulars.
A world of its own. No reason to leave the property.
Scene — what’s outside the door
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
A place apart: the property is the destination.
