Scene
Located in the heart of South Beach and directly on the ocean, Delano is the ultimate world-class urban resort hotel and self-contained destination. In a completely original manipulation of space that blurs all “normal” distinctions, Delano boasts the first Indoor/Outdoor lobby, offering a seamless flow between a series of unique indoor and outdoor environments. A very upscale hotel, the Delano is full of elite and wealthy people. The crowd is pretentious, rich, and willing to spend money to have a great time. It boasts quite possibly one of the best hotel outdoor pools in the world, and with a very snooty, yet beautiful staff, the Delano has returned to its sexy, old-school self.
Eats & Drinks
The Delano offers a wide variety of dining choices to suit any mood. Blue Door restaurant in South Beach, under the direction of restaurateur Jeffrey Chodorow and renowned chef Claude Troisgros, provides refined modern French cuisine with Brazilian and global influences. The Brasserie, with its hand-etched mirrored bar, soaring mirrored screen, and comfortable living room style furniture, is the perfect spot for a more casual, relaxed meal. Blue Door Terrace is the ideal place to dine alfresco – during the day while enjoying the warm ocean breeze, or at night under the brilliant stars-
Rose Bar-See on website for Details-
The Restaurant and Bar located in the Delano are world renowned, and frequently populated by celebrities.
Ambience
Nine beautifully conceived areas are each distinct in form and function, yet together create the feel of an interwoven village where guests can find both a wealth of activity and a peaceful haven. Philippe Starck has assembled a stunning international collection of furniture and objects, including works from such renowned artists as Antonio Gaudi and Ray Eames. A state-of the art gym, room renovations, the Blue Door Restaurant, the Rose Bar and the relatively new Florida Room make this a very popular and trendy Hotel to stay at.

Sexy, sexy, sexy. A Miami staple. Have drinks in the backyard and walk along the beach! - Tracy

The lobby area of the hotel is beautiful, but don't stop there... Make sure you check-out the pool area in the back, day or night.

Lo Maximooooooo!!!! BLOG ARTICLES
Miami has entertainment every single day and Tuesday is no exception. If you want to party all night, having dinner is important. We all know how alcohol works on an empty stomach: it doesn’t.
Blue Door is an excellent restaurant located at the Delano, one of South Beach’s top hotels. The “Crabavocat” is just an AMAZING way to start your dinner, especially if you like crab and avocado. Then, it is up to you.
You could go for any main course on the menu (the beef gorgonzola is over the top) or go down the cocktail list and try every single martinis or mojitos. I cannot personally point out a favorite, there are all so good and the bartenders are so helpful and accomodating.
