Bay View Junior Suite

The suite faces the bay rather than the ocean, and its private outdoor space gives you the view at your own pace. Its 854 sq. ft. layout and soundproofed bedroom make it a calm place to settle in after a day on the hotel's oceanfront beach.

The suite has one queen bed with premium bedding and sleeps 2 guests. A rollaway or extra bed can be added for a surcharge (around $75 per night), and a free crib can be arranged for little ones.

The private bathroom has a rainfall showerhead, free toiletries, a hair dryer and towels. A toothbrush and toothpaste are available on request.

Yes, the suite is one of the hotel's soundproofed rooms, which helps keep the bedroom calm. The hotel also has a late-night lounge and a nightclub, so a soundproofed room is a real plus.

Faena Miami Beach is not all-inclusive. The daily resort fee of $65 plus 14% tax includes complimentary access to Tierra Santa's wet spa and fitness center, chaise lounges, umbrella and towel service at the pool and beach, property-wide WiFi, a welcome beverage and unlimited local calls. Dining and spa treatments are charged separately. In the room you also have a minibar, refrigerator, coffee/tea maker, safe and 24-hour room service.

The hotel has a private beach and several temperature-controlled infinity pools: a lap pool, a family pool and a central pool, plus a hot tub. Pool loungers are reserved for registered hotel guests. The family pool can be lively when children are around, so guests wanting more quiet may prefer a different pool.

Options include Los Fuegos by Francis Mallmann for Argentine live-fire cooking, Pao by Paul Qui for modern Asian cuisine, Veranda for poolside breakfast from 7:00am to 11:00am, and the garden-set Tree of Life for cocktails and small plates. Los Fuegos and Pao ask for elegant chic dress, with no shorts, open-toe shoes or beachwear. You can also order room service around the clock.

With one queen bed, a desk and laptop workspace, champagne service, turndown service and daily housekeeping, the suite suits couples and guests staying a while. Connecting rooms are available where needed, and the hotel welcomes children of all ages. Children 13 and over are charged as adults.
