Delano Hotel

SOUTH BEACH. This unique landmark hotel, an Ian Schrager property, is one of Miami's best. The lofty indoor-outdoor lobby is stunning, setting the stage for what will come. Philippe Starck design elements highlight the décor – rooms and suites are serenely white, with one or two splashes of color, and are furnished with the appropriate upscale amenities. Outside, surrounded by tropical gardens, is a simply gorgeous pool, with an under water sound system and ample room for sunbathing, floating, or just soaking up the scene. The renowned Agua Bathhouse is a fantastic rooftop spa retreat, and the private beach has plenty of lounge chairs. A lively bar scene and an award-winning restaurant round out the offerings. 238 rooms, suites and poolside bungalows. Event space for 80. Valet parking $34/night.
