Ennismore and Cain International have unveiled the first glimpse of the redesigned Delano Miami Beach, set to reopen in late 2025 following a comprehensive renovation. The project will preserve the hotel’s iconic design while incorporating modern elements. Elastic Architects, working in collaboration with Ennismore’s design team, is restoring key historical features such as vertical paint bands, terrazzo flooring, hexagonal lobby columns, and the signature Delano logo. The mezzanine bridge will be reimagined to improve sightlines to the pool and gardens, seamlessly blending timeless charm with contemporary sophistication.
Completed in 1947, the Delano Miami Beach is a defining example of Miami’s Art Deco architectural heritage and mid-century design. In the 1990s, a transformative renovation led by hotelier Ian Schrager and designer Philippe Starck reimagined the property, elevating it into a benchmark for contemporary luxury hospitality. With its minimalist elegance and urban resort aesthetic, the Delano quickly established itself as an enduring icon in Miami’s modern luxury landscape.

The resort will include 171 guest rooms and suites, featuring Bungalow Suites and Penthouse Suites. Interiors will showcase a tonal palette and organic fluidity, complemented by bespoke lighting, custom furnishings, and updated Delano brand signatures, such as a reimagined “Apple a Day” amenity. Oversized windows and terraces will offer sweeping views of the Miami skyline and Atlantic Ocean, emphasizing the property’s prime beachfront setting.

Delano Miami Beach will offer four restaurant and bar concepts, including a reimagined Rose Bar, which has hosted a mix of Hollywood icons and Miami’s elite over the decades. Additional amenities include curated retail, event and meeting spaces, a state-of-the-art wellness studio, and a spa. A new beachfront deck and a fourth-floor pool will complement the legendary ground-floor pool.
“Thirty years ago, Delano ignited the Miami scene and redefined the urban resort experience,” said Sharan Pasricha, Founder & Co-CEO of Ennismore. “From the Rose Bar to the pool—it was a place to be, a playground for the global jet set looking for the ultimate discretion. Today, together with Cain, we continue the iconic Delano story, writing a new chapter for the brand journey, not only with the epic opening of Delano Dubai this month but with the reopening of the brand’s flagship, Miami Beach. We can’t wait for guests, both new and existing, to rediscover Delano Miami Beach.”

Jonathan Goldstein, CEO of Cain International, added, “Cain has always believed in the strength of combining distinctive branded offerings with coveted locations across leading gateway cities and hospitality markets. We are thrilled to be joining forces with Ennismore to breathe new life into what we consider to be one of America’s most iconic hotel brands and share its legacy with a new generation of global travelers.”
The Miami Beach reopening is part of a broader strategy to expand the Delano brand globally. Delano Dubai opened in October 2024 with 251 guest rooms and suites, including the five-bedroom Delano Penthouse, six dining venues, and a redesigned pool and private beach. Earlier in 2023, the Maison Delano concept debuted in Paris, translating the brand’s signature style into a metropolitan social hub.
