Faena District
Faena Theater
Opening early 2016 in the Faena District of Miami Beach, Faena Hotel was a renovation of The Saxony Hotel which originally opened in 1948. Inside The Faena Hotel is the 150 seat Faena Theater.
Faena Theater was inspired by Europe's grand opera houses. With a red theme throughout the theater, the center of the room has a grand chandelier that brings old Hollywood glamour. Cabaret shows are the performed frequently in the theater, which currently has the show Sensatia.
Faena Bazaar
Originally built in 1939 by architect Roy France, who also designed The Saxony and The Versailles, Faena Bazaar is an updated renovation of the Art Deco building.
As part of the Faena District, which includes Faena Forum, Faena House, Faena Hotel, Faena Versailles and Faena Park, the 4 story Faena Bazaar was designed by Rem Koolhaas of OMA.
The building is currently being used as the Museum of Ice Cream, which will be there until February 26.
Faena Forum Along Collins Avenue
As part of the Faena District spanning along Collins Avenue from 32nd to 36th street, Faena Forum is now open along with Faena Bazaar and Faena Park. Faena House and Faena Hotel were completed last year. We last looked at the Faena Forum in August to show a night perspective of the building.
Faena Forum is a 42,565 square foot building designed for the arts, which will include lectures, events and performances. The cylinder like building was designed by Rem Koolhaas of OMA, who also designed the under construction Park Grove in Coconut Grove.
Also open is Faena Bazaar, which will have retail space and Faena Park, a four story automated garage for 235 spaces.
The last building that needs to be completed in the Faena District is the Faena Versailles Classic, which has been put on hold and is now covered with a red draping.
