Family-friendly features and childcare
Faena Miami Beach is not adults-only overall — it welcomes children of all ages and lists family rooms and a kids' program among its offerings. Babysitting and supervised childcare are available for an additional surcharge; these services must be arranged through the hotel and usually carry extra fees.
Families often book larger suites (see Rooms & capacity) so children and parents can have separate sleeping and living areas. Confirm any child-pricing policies (for example, children 13 and older are typically charged as adults) when you reserve to avoid surprises.
- Kids' program available (surcharge)
- Babysitting/childcare available (surcharge) — arrange with hotel
- Children 13+ are generally charged as adults
| Booking tip | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| Book a suite (one- or two-bedroom) | Separate bedroom and living space for family privacy |

| Confirm child rates | Some ages are billed as adults |
