The brand’s fans include Madonna, Baz Lurhman and the Kardashians.
Faena Hotels can be found around the world, from Buenos Aires to Miami Beach. Now, the celebrity favourite will be opening Faena Wadi Safar on the outskirts of Riyadh in Saudi Arabia. The brand has welcomed A-list names and is famous for its artistically curated hotels and festival-inspired events.
The lavish Faena Wadi Safar will have 130 rooms and 20 branded residences. Parts of the hotel will overlook the Royal Equestrian & Pop Club and boast direct views of the 27-hole championship golf course and wadi.
Faena properties around the world draw inspiration from their local surroundings. The Faena Hotel in Wadi Sadi will have desert views and be surrounded by palm trees. The aesthetic includes shades of beige and brown and traditional as well as contemporary features.
Faena was founded in 2000 by Len Blavatnik and Alan Faena. The hospitality brand has hotels across the world, most notably Faena Buenos Aires and Faena District Miami Beach. Faena Red Sea Resort will be its first development in Saudi Arabia. The hotel is part of the Red Sea Global developments, and focused on creating one-of-a-kind hospitality experiences, which combine the best of wellness, entertainment, art and dining.
Over the years, the brand has garnered A-list fans, including Madonna, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kanye West and Kim Kardashian. Director Baz Lurhman once said: “Alan Faena does in reality what I try to do in movies and theatre, that’s why we connect. Faena Miami is like a movie but it is real.”
