...when he bought an abandoned warehouse in Buenos Aires' Puerto Madero district, convinced Philippe Starck to design the interior and, in 2005, opened the 10-meter-high doors of the Faena Hotel and Universe, tel: (54-11) 4010 9000. Impressively, he makes good on his out-of-the-world claim with lush red velvet interiors, spacious rooms (from around $330), an award-winning cabaret, a wonderfully indulgent spa, two terrific restaurants and a welcoming bar.
