A new era for Delano with iconic openings in Miami, New York and London

Two new signings for Delano in New York and London, only a few months ahead of the highly anticipated reopening of the original Delano Miami Beach.

Delano reasserts its position at the forefront of the luxury lifestyle landscape

Ennismore, the fastest-growing lifestyle hospitality company, is proud to announce a new chapter for Delano, with the signings of Delano SoHo New York and Delano London, ahead of the highly anticipated reopening of the original Delano Miami Beach. The era will bring the brand's unmatched elegance and iconic style to some of the world's most exciting destinations.

The considered choice of these iconic destinations sets the tone for Delano's continued evolution, which is guided by a legacy of refinement, warmth and intuition and underlined by world-class entertainment and an innovative approach to cultural and wellness programming. Alongside New York, Miami, and London, the recent debuts of Delano in Dubai and Paris mark an exciting time for the brand, which firmly places Delano at the forefront of the global luxury lifestyle map.

This momentum builds on Ennismore's strategic partnership with Cain, which acquired a minority stake in Delano in 2024. Together, they are making bold moves to invest in the brand, elevating its presence worldwide. As part of this next chapter, Ennismore also welcomes Ben Pundole as Chief Brand Officer for Delano. With deep experience in the global luxury and lifestyle sector, Pundole brings a strong track record in shaping innovative hospitality brands and driving cultural relevance, further strengthening Delano's positioning for the future.

Delano Miami Beach

The iconic Delano Miami Beach property will officially reopen its doors in early 2026, presenting an enchanting, reimagined experience that serves as a heartfelt tribute to the city itself. Located in the heart of South Beach, the heritage destination embraces the art and cultural landscape of its surrounding city through its world-class programming, hospitality and design. The design pays homage to the building's Art Deco roots through the careful preservation of key historical features, ensuring the hotel's rich heritage is seamlessly integrated with modern elegance.  An impressive 171 guestrooms and suites, including Poolside Bungalow Suites and the Penthouse Suites, make up Delano's accommodations. Delano Miami Beach will be home to four distinctive restaurant and bar concepts, including a recreation of the much-loved Rose Bar, which once hosted Hollywood royalty and the who's who of Miami society.

Delano SoHo, New York

Delano SoHo New York, also in partnership with Cain, will be a social enclave, embodying and elevating the signatures that secured the original's legendary status. Located on Spring Street in Hudson Square, the hotel, currently known as The Dominick, is on the doorstep of SoHo, renowned for its galleries, boutiques, and restaurants. Masterfully merging opposing elements – modern and classic, soft and sculptural – Delano SoHo New York will offer both a serene sanctuary for relaxation and a dynamic environment for social interaction. The 391 guestrooms and suites embrace fluidity with curved silhouettes, rich textures and bespoke finishes. Rising to the top of the 46-story tower, guests will also discover expansive event spaces for experiences connecting creative insiders, global travellers and locals through a shared language of elegance and elevated energy.

Delano London

Set just steps away from Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park and framed by a red-brick and stucco facade, Delano London is poised to nurture a refined spirit of community in a neighbourhood renowned for its cultural connections and architectural heritage. In partnership with Signature Developers, a luxury real estate developer in Dubai, specialising in high-end residential and hospitality-related properties, and DCD Properties, a UK private property investment and development company, Delano London is set to open in late 2026. The interiors will be layered, textural, and sensual, informed by evolved motifs such as the use of 'Delano white' and the interplay between dark and light that fosters discovery. Grained materiality and organic forms create a series of enveloping spaces that begin in the lobby lounge, centred around a fireplace, and slowly unveil a curated library and retail space that tempers aristocratic grandeur with modernity – a subtle nod at what is to come. The hotel's 67 guest rooms and suites continue to embrace a soft minimalism that complements architectural detailing with natural tones and charming amenities, such as a fresh take on Delano's beloved 'apple a day'.

The ground-floor restaurant at Delano London will be curated by Ennismore's F&B Platform, introducing one of its most unique and authentic brands to London for the first time. Also set to make its London debut is Miami's legendary Rose Bar, an intimate and glamorous venue with a discreet subterranean setting. The reimagined bar will boast an alluring atmosphere, a discerning cocktail menu, and a glamorous yet unpretentious spirit. Informed by dusky, red-tinged lighting, sculptural textures, and low-slung velvet corners, the bar sets the tone for after-dark elegance, featuring 290 sqm of lounge, meeting, and private dining spaces, as well as live music areas that can be configured to host social gatherings.

At Delano, dedicated wellness and retail spaces are woven into the guest journey at all properties, creating opportunities for both restoration and discovery. Thoughtfully designed wellness spaces inspire calm reflection and vibrant connection, offering experiences that nurture body and mind while fostering a spirit of community. Alongside, curated retail spaces invite guests to explore timeless pieces and sensory expressions that capture the essence of each destination, allowing them to carry the distinctive Delano spirit beyond their stay.

Sharan Pasricha, Founder & Co-CEO of Ennismore, said, “With the debut of Delano Dubai and the much-anticipated reopening of Miami Beach, Delano has entered a new chapter in its celebrated history. Few hospitality brands have achieved such cultural resonance, and as we look ahead, we remain committed to protecting that legacy while evolving it for a new generation of discerning travellers. At this important moment, I am pleased to welcome Ben Pundole as Chief Brand Officer. Ben's creative leadership and deep understanding of hospitality will be key as he guides the brand into its next era. He will oversee thoughtful growth while further strengthening Delano's position within the luxury lifestyle space. With Ben on board, Delano will continue to blend refinement, relevance, and innovation, creating experiences that are not only memorable but truly iconic.”

Gaurav Bhushan, Co-CEO of Ennismore, said, “Delano is entering an incredibly exciting phase of global growth as we continue to grow an icon that continues to define the art of luxury lifestyle. Upcoming openings in some of the world's most dynamic destinations - Miami, New York, and London - will build on the brand's established presence in Paris and Dubai. A strong pipeline, including projects in Istanbul, Puglia, Marrakesh, and Costa Rica, along with several others under negotiation in key markets, reflects the continued global appetite for this iconic brand. What makes Delano so compelling for owners is its ability to combine timeless style, immersive lifestyle programming and a proven track record of cultural relevance. It's a brand that not only creates exceptional guest experiences but also delivers long-term value, which is why it continues to resonate so strongly with our partners around the world.”

Born in Miami, Delano redefined modern luxury with its bold design and vibrant spirit, setting a new standard for lifestyle hospitality. With roots deeply tied to the city's cultural energy, the brand carries a strong DNA of originality and style that makes it a unique icon in the global hospitality space. In April 2023, Delano brought the brand's inimitable experience to chic urban settings when it opened in Paris's 8th arrondissement. In October 2024, the Delano brand was introduced to a new destination and audience with the opening of Delano Dubai. The hotel features 251 guest rooms and suites, culminating in the five-bedroom Delano Penthouse. It also boasts six restaurant and bar concepts in collaboration with Paris Society, including a reimagined version of the famous Delano Pool, as well as 250 meters of pristine private beach.  Read more here - Hotel Management Global Outlook Link
