New York City is set to welcome the renowned Delano brand as Ennismore expands its luxury offerings by converting The Dominick hotel into Delano SoHo New York. The new property, which will feature 390 rooms and suites within a 46-story high-rise, is strategically located in Manhattan’s vibrant SoHo neighborhood, surrounded by art galleries, boutiques, and restaurants. While the precise opening date for Delano SoHo New York has not been announced, the transformation promises to elevate the area’s hospitality landscape.
Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, Delano London is currently under development near Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park. The hotel, anticipated to open in late 2026, will offer 67 rooms and include an Ennismore-managed restaurant on the ground floor. A highlight of this property will be the Rose Bar, a recreation of the iconic venue from Delano Miami Beach, enhancing the luxurious ambiance that Delano is known for. Additionally, Delano London will feature wellness and retail spaces, reflecting the brand’s commitment to providing holistic guest experiences.
Ennismore is also focusing on the revitalization of its existing properties. The Delano Miami Beach, originally opened in 1995, has been closed since 2020 for comprehensive renovations, with plans to reopen in early 2026. The Miami Beach property will comprise 171 rooms and suites, and introduce four dining and bar concepts, including a reimagined Rose Bar. This renovation aims to honor Delano’s Art Deco roots while integrating modern design elements.
Ennismore has accelerated its growth strategy for the Delano brand, recently leveraging its parent company, Accor, which acquired Delano as part of its 2020 purchase of SBE Entertainment Group’s lifestyle brands. In addition to the developments in New York and London, the brand has recently opened hotels in Paris and Dubai. It is also planning future projects in exciting destinations like Istanbul, Puglia, Marrakesh, and Costa Rica.
The Delano hotels emphasize a luxurious lifestyle, aiming to blend elegance, cultural significance, and innovative experiences for guests. The expansion is further supported by a partnership with Cain, which acquired a minority stake in Delano in 2024, fueling investments into the brand. The new branding and operational vision is spearheaded by Ben Pundole, who has been appointed as chief brand officer for Delano, overseeing the Miami reopening and global expansion strategies.
With the ongoing development and renovations, the Delano brand is poised for significant growth and renewed interest, reflecting a broader hospitality trend that focuses on luxury, wellness, and community engagement in key urban markets.
