If a Baz Luhrmann movie came to life, it would appear in the form of Faena Hotel Miami Beach . That’s because not only did the celebrated film director work alongside Buenos Aires hotelier and Faena founder, Alan Faena, to design the five-star property, but Faena tapped a series of other worldly and exuberant creatives to bring his one-of-a-kind vision for a beachfront hotel to life. One of those creatives was Ximena Caminos, an Argentina-born entrepreneur who served as the former creative director and partner at Faena Group and the founder of Faena Art.
Now, nearly a decade after Faena Miami Beach opened its fashionable front doors, Caminos has decided to part with her Miami penthouse—and it looks a lot like a mini Faena Hotel. The sun-drenched aerie , priced at $7.7 million , tops The Caribbean, a condo building on Collins Avenue designed in 1941 by architect L.
Murray Dixon, who constructed many star buildings in Miami’s Art Deco period. The penthouse is a combination of two units and was fully renovated by Caminos, who tapped SAS/Solomonoff Architecture Studio for architectural consulting. The ceilings are 11 feet high, and every room is lined with floor-to-ceiling windows.
The four-bedroom, five-bathroom spread sprawls over almost 3,400 square feet and has an additional 3,500-square-foot rooftop terrace decked out like a sleek hotel bar. Nancy Batchelor with The Nancy Batchelor Team at Compass holds the listing. While the penthouse doesn’t have Faena’s signatur.
