Faena Unveiled: Art, Design & After-Hours Glamour

  • Faena New York 500A W 18th St New York United States (map)

Private guided tour & Living Room lounge experience

A little glamour, a lot of artistry, and an exclusive look inside one of New York’s most dazzling new destinations.

Step into a world where art, imagination, and luxury collide as Women of Culture goes inside Faena New York, the spectacular new Chelsea destination bringing its signature blend of theatrical design, contemporary art, and unapologetic glamour to Manhattan.

More than a five-star hotel, Faena is conceived as an immersive cultural experience—one in which architecture, interiors, art and storytelling come together to create something distinctly transportive.

On this exclusive private guided tour, we’ll go beyond the surface to discover the creative vision behind the property, exploring its striking interiors, artistic details and unexpected design moments while learning about the artists, designers and inspirations that helped bring the world of Faena to life.

After our tour, we’ll continue the evening in The Living Room, Faena’s richly designed and glamorous lounge, where you’re invited to linger over a cocktail or bite, compare favorite discoveries and enjoy an evening of conversation with fellow culture lovers.

Come for the art, stay for the atmosphere—and experience one of New York’s most talked-about new destinations from an insider’s perspective.
