The honest take
Faena Miami Beach runs $964 a night against $2,019 at The Miami Beach EDITION, with near-identical guest ratings and review counts, so this is not a close call on value. EDITION adds an ice rink, bowling alley and nightclub, plus a hot tub advantage over Faena, if that scene is what you're after. Faena counters with an oceanfront position, three distinct restaurants and Carrara marble bathrooms, all at less than half the cost. Book Faena unless the ice rink and nightclub are the actual point of the trip.
The look and the feel
The Miami Beach EDITION
EDITION is Ian Schrager and John Pawson's Miami statement: a former Seville hotel gutted and rebuilt as a study in restraint punctuated by spectacle, so a stark white lobby gives way to an actual ice rink and a subterranean bowling alley lit like a nightclub. The Matador Room and Matador Bar lean dark and tropical, all timber screens and low light, while two pools and manicured lawns keep the daytime register cooler than the after-dark one. It draws a crowd that wants the party built into the building, not just nearby.
EDITION suits guests who want nightlife, an ice rink and a nightclub built into the stay rather than a walk away.
Faena Miami Beach
Faena occupies Alan Faena's gold-and-crimson fantasy on the sand, with interiors by Baz Luhrmann and Catherine Martin that read as Art Deco Miami filtered through a stage set: a gilded mammoth skeleton in the lobby, saturated reds and golds throughout, and Carrara marble bathrooms in the rooms themselves. Los Fuegos, the Francis Mallmann restaurant built around open-fire cooking, anchors the food side, with Pao and Veranda adding range. It is theatrical rather than austere, and it sits directly on the ocean.
Faena suits guests who want oceanfront theatre, fire-cooked food and a lower price without giving up five-star polish.
Faena gives up a hot tub against EDITION's offering, and forgoes the ice rink, bowling alley and nightclub that make EDITION a built-in night out rather than a hotel with a good bar.
Faena is the more beautiful room to stand in — Luhrmann and Martin's gilded, oceanfront theatre has more sustained visual nerve than EDITION's cooler Pawson restraint punctuated by spectacle.

“Its a 10 / 10 hotel great location, all staff including the beach staff a 10.Rooms lovely & modern”
The hotel location is 5 mins away from the hustle and bustle so the noise isn't to loud, its right on the beach with a great running or walking path to keep you in shape

Pool is extremly dirty and crowded with interesting crowd Pool also extremly old, we used different pools of different hotels
8/10
“Once again: the hotel guest is not treated as it should be.”
Location was good and the hotel has nice restaurants and decor.
The hotel guests are treated as it should be. For example to reserve a table at the bar there is minimum charge between 225 to 1,500 per person depending on the day of the week. This is ridiculous.
10/10
“Obsessed & Speechless”
The Acts for Obsession at Faena Theatre were absolutely incredible. I recommend everyone to go and see it. Me and my friend had the most amazing time . Such a diverse range of talent. Sophia’s vocals and stage performance/presence, alongside all the beautiful range of acts of dancers/aerialists and violinist had everyone’s jaws on the floor! The bartenders really took great care and were very time efficient with ever
