WRE News: The Delano South Beach Returns: A Beloved Icon Reimagined for 2025

Miami, FL – December 12, 2024 – Delano Miami Beach is making a stylish comeback, reopening in late 2025 after years of uncertainty.

Once a trailblazer in whimsical and timeless hotel design, the Delano closed its doors during the pandemic, leaving loyal guests and design lovers heartbroken. Known for its signature green apples, billowing curtains, and Philippe Starck’s iconic interiors, the hotel set a high standard for playful luxury.

Now, under the direction of Ennismore and Cain International, the Delano is set to reemerge with a fresh vision while honoring its storied past. The revitalized property will feature 171 redesigned rooms, upgraded wellness spaces, and new dining concepts, all tied together by a lighter, earthy aesthetic from Elastic Architects and Ennismore’s design team. The beloved pool, iconic lobby elements, and even the apples — now in refillable glass vessels — are making a return, ensuring a nod to nostalgia while embracing modern elegance.

With its legacy intact and a bold new chapter on the horizon, the Delano’s return promises to be a triumph for Miami Beach.
