News Summary
The Delano hotel in Miami Beach is preparing for its grand reopening with significant renovations and the addition of new guest rooms, bars, and restaurants. With 171 accommodations including poolside bungalows and penthouses, the hotel aims to enhance the luxury experience. Additionally, the Delano brand is expanding to New York City and London, as part of a global growth strategy by Ennismore. These developments come after the brand’s previous struggles, and they emphasize a commitment to blending luxury with cultural engagements in hospitality.
Miami Beach is set to witness the grand reopening of the Delano hotel in early 2026, marking a significant return to its original home. The remodeled Delano Miami Beach will feature 171 guest rooms and suites, which will include poolside bungalows and penthouses, alongside four restaurants and bars. Among these, the iconic Rose Bar will make its return with a refreshed concept.
Additionally, the Delano brand is expanding globally with plans to open its first location in New York City. Originally known as The Dominick, the newly renamed Delano SoHo New York will offer 390 guest rooms across 46 floors. However, the opening date for Delano SoHo New York remains uncertain, along with potential changes to the existing food and beverage options at the location. Similarly, in London, Delano will open a new property near Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park in 2026, featuring 67 guest rooms and suites along with a lobby lounge centered around a fireplace and the Rose Bar.
This expansion is part of a considerable growth strategy initiated by Ennismore, the lifestyle division of the Paris-based company Accor. The brand recently saw openings in Dubai and Paris and is also planning future locations in Istanbul, Puglia, Marrakesh, and Costa Rica, as noted by Ennismore co-CEO Gaurav Bhushan. The Delano brand is experiencing a resurgence after losing its Las Vegas location, which transitioned to W Las Vegas.
The reopening of Delano Miami Beach marks a significant revival for the hotel, which originally opened in 1995 before being boarded up in 2020. This significant redevelopment emphasizes Delano’s mission to blend luxury with cultural and community engagement, aiming to create memorable guest experiences. New properties under the Delano brand will participate in Accor’s loyalty program, Accor Live Limitless, allowing members to redeem points for discounts on stays.
Ben Pundole has been appointed as the Chief Brand Officer for Delano, tasked with guiding the brand into this new era. The brand’s ambitions reflect its aim to redefine luxury lifestyle offerings, focusing on wellness programs, cultural relevance, and exclusive culinary experiences.
As Delano embarks on this new chapter, it aims to reinforce its position in the competitive hotel industry by innovatively merging luxury hospitality with the essence of the local culture and community.
