We Paid /night

Including room rate, taxes and mandatory resort fees

What does ""We Paid"" mean?

Forbes Travel Guide performs independent, incognito inspections of all hotels we rate. This is what we paid when we stayed at this hotel.

Rates can vary widely by room type and season. "We Paid" is intended to give a general sense of price, but you might find considerably different rates for your trip.

When we book, we aim for the optimum season for the destination, but we avoid holidays and major public events, when prices are highest. We generally book a room at one category up from the most basic.

We take advantage of promotional rates, when possible. That means the rate you see above might have included other benefits, such as spa or meal credits.

VERIFIED LUXURY

Learn How We Inspect

We are the only independent, global rating system for luxury hotels, restaurants, spas and ocean cruise ships.

Here are five things to know about us:

1. We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.

2. We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.

3. Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.

4. While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.

5. We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.

As its name suggests, Los Fuegos at the glamorous Faena Miami Beach Hotel is all about fire, (or fuego).

Helmed by James Beard Award-winning chef Francis Mallmann, Los Fuegos serves an authentic South American dining experience, rooted in the traditional asado, or outdoor barbecue. Complete with an outdoor fire kitchen, the 188-seat hot spot marks Mallmann’s only North American restaurant.

Located outside the Veranda space, Los Fuegos sits in Faena Hotel Miami Beach’s courtyard surrounding the Tree of Life, the space’s focal point. Lights hang from the massive tree and illuminate the dining area. Juan Gatti (who did the graphic art for Pedro Almodóvar’s films and also served as art director for Vogue Italia) designed the space’s many tiles, which bear hand-painted motifs of sea life, while the stunning columns are encrusted with corals and shells. The vibrant furniture is custom gold-leafed bamboo with red cushions and white piping. As its name suggests, Los Fuegos at the glamorous Faena Miami Beach Hotel is all about fire, (or fuego).

Our Inspector's Highlights

Mallmann customized the outdoor fire kitchen to bring out the flavors and aromas that can only be achieved in grilling. Set right in the hotel’s courtyard, the kitchen comes with a custom-made wood oven, a grand-scale grill known as the “piano,” planchas (metal griddles) and even an area dedicated solely to cooking in ashes.
The Miami restaurant has an extensive cocktail menu. The Faena Hotel Miami Beach beverage program is a tapestry of different ingredients, exotic flavors and classic techniques, spearheaded by beverage director Zarko Stankovik in a collaboration with Mayur Subbarao and Mark Kinzer.
Los Fuegos’ wine list also includes a selection of Faena Wines. Alan Faena, working with the renowned Marcelo Pelleriti (the first winemaker from Argentina to receive a perfect 100-point score by Robert Parker), brings to life a collection of wines that capture the essence of Argentina’s best vineyards and traditions.
Standout meals include wood-oven empanadas, skirt steak or prime rib-eye a la Parrilla served with chimichurri sauce, as well as handmade potato gnocchi.
The restaurant hosts a weekly asado, =an outdoor party featuring whole animals, including both meat and seafood.
