Developed in collaboration with filmmaker Baz Luhrmann and his Academy Award-winning designer wife, Catherine Martin, the district personifies an all-encompassing theatrical experience. With showstopping works of art by contemporary master Damien Hirst, a cathedral-like entrance hall with murals by Juan Gatti and a color palette dripping in luscious reds, golds, turquoise and animal prints, the Faena Hotel is surreal and luxurious.
