The Restaurant at Faena Hotel Buenos Aires

"The former granary, a hulking brick structure from 1902, contains two formal restaurants, including the Alice in Wonderland–inspired El Bistro; a produce market; hopping nightclub; luxe spa with hammam; wine cellar for tasting parties; and jasmine-hedged outdoor pool"

"Cocooned within a turn-of-the-20th century grain warehouse that lay derelict before French designer Philippe Starck got his hands on it, this landmark property, with its long, red-carpeted corridors, Miami Vice-style pool bar and molecular-cuisine restaurant – the walls of which are hung with "unicorn" heads – is a feast for the senses"

"Other highlights are two excellent restaurants and an elaborate spa with a Turkish bath"

"Entering the white and gold El Bistro, the property’s upscale restaurant, can be disarming"

"Buenos Aires’ hotel for the in-crowd, this former grain-storage building has been given a serious Philippe Starck makeover and now has a belle époque jazz bar, a café stuffed with kitsch antiques, a floor-to-ceiling white restaurant with unicorn heads on the walls, an oriental spa and, of course, swish rooms"
