The property has been a mainstay of South Beach life for the better part of 30 years. Purchased, re-developed and restored by Ian Schrager with Phillippe Starck as designer, The Delano was the epitome of the burgeoning class of properties known as the Boutique Hotel. Incredibly cool and very trendy it has been the focal point of Miami Beach style for many years. The Delano was the flagship property of Morgans Hotel Group, which was sold to SBE Entertainment. SBE sold the property in 2020 to Eldridge Industries who closed the hotel for renovations. The new Delano Hotel is set to open in 2025.
