The world's most beautiful hotel lobbies

A stroll through the opulent Faena Hotel Miami Beach is like a walk through a top art gallery. The lobby, nicknamed The Cathedral, has palatial gold and velvet furniture, impressive murals and gold-leaf-covered, tulip-topped columns. The focal point of the lobby is a series of eight murals designed by artist Juan Gatti and it also gives guests a first-hand view to Damien Hirst's striking sculpture Gone But Not Forgotten – 3,000-year-old gilded woolly mammoth skeleton.
