One of Miami’s Most Iconic Hotels Just Reopened After Three Years — and It Looks Completely Different

The Delano Miami Beach has officially reopened after roughly three years of closure for a complete renovation. The property, now operated by Ennismore under the Accor umbrella, returns with 171 rooms and suites, two new restaurant concepts, and a significantly expanded amenity deck.

What Changed

The renovation was designed by Elastic Architects in collaboration with Ennismore’s in-house team. The room count stays at 171, but the mix is new: poolside Bungalow Suites and Penthouse Suites headline the top tier. The legendary Rose Bar returns in a reimagined form, while two restaurants from Paris Society mark the French hospitality group’s first U.S. venture — Italian concept Gigi Rigolatto and Japanese restaurant Mimi Kakushi.

A new beachfront amenity deck, a second pool on the fourth floor, a wellness studio, and a full spa round out the additions. The original ground-floor pool — the one that made the Delano famous in the 1990s — has been preserved.

Why It Matters

The Delano helped define the boutique hotel movement when it opened in 1995 under Ian Schrager. Its reopening under Ennismore signals continued investment in South Beach’s luxury hospitality scene at a time when Miami’s hotel market is seeing record demand. Ownership sits with Cain International, which acquired the property as part of a broader South Florida portfolio play.

For travelers, the Delano’s return adds another high-end option to an already competitive Miami Beach market — and its new food and beverage program alone could make it a destination unto itself.
