What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
the whole place feels lifted out of a vintage ‘wish you were here’ postcard.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set on Collins Avenue in Mid-Beach, you are steps from the Faena Forum and a two-minute stroll from serviced beach cabanas.
The rooms
Individually styled rooms feel like a thirties-era inn, featuring pillow-top mattresses, down comforters, and select ocean-view balconies.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
Campo Casa Faena
The dining room features tropical murals and patterned tiles, serving Latin-inspired bistro dishes beside an intimate brass bar.
How it began
Built in 1928 as the El Paraiso Apartments, the Mediterranean Revival structure later housed U.S. Army Air Forces during World War II.
