Situated in South Beach
|
This somewhat surreal 16-story hotel is on the beachfront, three blocks from Ocean Drive and one block from the shopping and restaurants of Lincoln Road Mall.
The hotel offers a rooftop health-and-beauty spa, a complete fitness center, and an outdoor pool with underwater music and areas for meditating and eating.
The all-white guestrooms—wall, furnishings, linens, wood floors—create a calm and elegant effect, watched over by a pewter angel figurine mounted high on the wall.
Renowned hotelier Ian Schrager and designer Philippe Starck have created a high-end hotel experience that's luxurious and a little surreal. The Delano's lobby has billowing, floor-to-ceiling curtains and whimsical furniture. Delano's location makes it ideal for exploring South Beach, and it's a surprisingly restful hotel, especially for guests who spend time near the pool or on the wide stretch of beach directly behind the hotel. The hotel's guests are an international mix of upscale leisure travelers and business guests, with an emphasis on the entertainment industry.
The indoor-outdoor lobby is the focal point of the hotel: Guests flow through the space, with its many intimate seating areas, proceed to the garden, and then arrive at the showpiece pool, which has underwater classical music, abundant lounge chairs, and private cabanas. The rooftop spa, agua, offers 360-degree views of Miami Beach, is modeled on an ancient bathhouse, and offers a full line of treatments.
Delano is just 1 block from Lincoln Road Mall, with a wide selection of shops, restaurants, and cafés, a multiplex cinema, and a symphony. It's a great place to wander and people-watch. An antiques market and a farmers' market are held there on weekends in season.

Transport
Miami's South Beach is the spot where hotels vie for style: The Hotel is the most funky, the Marlin the most rock’n’roll, the Tides the most sophisticated, and the Delano is the most cool. Ian Schrager and Philippe Starck have always had a talent for containing worlds within their hotels – seemingly light years away from the streets on which they sit. The Mondrian is Hollywood sci-fi, the Hudson is Harvard Square and the Delano is an Alice in Wonderland trip: Fantasy, indulgence and tranquility in a couture package. And you never have to leave. At the Delano you can go to the movies, play volleyball, swim, sleep, have treatments at the Agua spa and eat everything from sushi to lobster ravioli. And every space within the hotel is its own sphere. The Blue Door restaurant, which Madonna co-owns, is a hotspot with guests, stars (Stephen Dorff, Ben Stiller and models galore) and locals. A tip: Don’t even think about eating before eight o’clock. The pool table is always draped with hot young things, the bar is small, dark and sophisticated, the lobby is sexy with its towering columns, oversized mirrors and billowing curtains (despite the sunburned tourists who stroll through around 7pm before heading off to Joe’s Stone Crab). The private beach has peach and white tents stocked with beach balls and fruit. But the piece de resistance is the pool. You can spend an entire day underwater – there’s music (yes, underwater music), a waterfall, and separate spots for playing, floating aroun
