The Delano Hotel in Miami Beach

Filed in archive Hotels/Resorts , Weekend Getaways , where the celebs go on February 27, 2006

Miami Beach has always drawn celebrities and girls in their skimpy bikinis to see and be seen. Hip clubs and excellent restaurants have created a wild nightlife along this strip. And last June, the hippest hotel on earth opened along the shores of Miami Beach, at the end of the 16th street.

The Deco-inspired tower is the newest venture by haute hotelier Ian Schrager, the man who gave the world Studio 54. The 238-room Delano Hotel designed by French designer Philippe Starck is sexy and elegant.

"Located in the heart of South Beach and directly on the ocean, Delano is the ultimate world-class urban resort and self-contained destination. It is a cool haven of relaxation in the middle of one of the world's most vibrant cities. Boasting America's first Indoor/Outdoor Lobby, the hotel's public spaces create the feeling of an interwoven "village" with almost no separation between indoors and out.


With its soaring and unforgettably beautiful Lobby, legendary white Guestrooms, lushly landscaped Orchard, breathtaking Pool, renowned Agua Bathhouse and stunning private beach, Delano epitomizes Simple Chic for a modern world."

With common rooms designed to impress, you will get the urge to dress up, go down and sample all of the hotel's hidden nooks. You can get cozy despite the pomp furnishings that surrounds you 24/7. Staff is friendly and yet despite the presence of celebrities, you aren't treated any differently. You are as special a guest as they are.

Want a recommendation? Get a cabana. Current hotel specials allow you to book a day, an evening or a Spa Cabana experience.

Go and sample this casual chic urban resort this Spring.
