20世纪60年代在阿根廷的限制性政权下长大，Alan Faena在这个国家向西方开放时成年，他让自己变成了这种新精神的标志，最初是作为一家受欢迎的阿根廷时装公司的创始人，接着是作为布宜诺斯艾利斯和迈阿密备受欢迎的FAENA酒店的老板。在这两个城市，Alan Faena不仅仅是建造了一家酒店，而是通过与Philippe Starck, Rem Koolhaas, Norman Foster, Damian Hirst和电影导演Baz Luhrmann等当时***的人才合作，建造了一个充满奢侈设计的世界。于是有了这几个让人身临其境的梦幻般的地方，这里充满了色彩、生气和高级设计。

在这本发人深省的传记中（里面有大量的插图，这些图片来自酒店、Alan的私人住宅和静居处，以及他有名和长得好看的朋友们的照片），Alan Faena详细讲述了他创造美的雄心壮志是如何通过精美的室内设计和餐厅、豪华的花园和游泳池来实现的。

Raised in the restrictive regimes of 1960s Argentina, Alan Faena came of age when the country opened up to the West and Alan transformed himself into the icon of this new spirit, first as the founder of a popular Argentine fashion company, then as the hotelier of the highly sought-after FAENA hotels, in Buenos Aires and Miami. In each of the two cities Alan Faena did not simply build a hotel, but a whole universe of luxury design by working with the best talents of the day: Philippe Starck, Rem Koolhaas, Norman Foster, Damian Hirst, and the film director Baz Luhrmann, among others. The results are immersive dream places, full of color, life, and high design.

In this revealing memoir, profusely illustrated with images of the hotels and Alan's private homes and retreats as well as his famous and beautiful friends, Alan Faena details how his ambition to create beauty was realized with gorgeous interiors and restaurants, lavish gardens and pools, and the very best that can be dreamt of.
