Miami has always been a city defined by reinvention. Few places embody that spirit more than the Delano.

For decades, the Delano Hotel stood as one of Miami Beach’s most iconic destinations — a place where design, culture, and hospitality blended into something entirely new. Now, that legacy is entering its next chapter with Delano Residences & Hotel Miami, a striking new residential tower rising in Downtown Miami.

A Legacy That Helped Define Miami

When the original Delano Hotel opened in 1947, Miami Beach was emerging as a glamorous international destination. The property quickly became one of the hotels that helped establish the city as the “gold coast of the United States.”

But the Delano’s most influential moment came decades later.

In 1995, the hotel underwent a transformation that redefined luxury hospitality. The redesigned Delano fused minimalist design, theatrical spaces, and a sense of playful elegance that changed how people experienced hotels.

It wasn’t simply a place to stay.

It became a place to see and be seen.

As architecture critic Herbert Muschamp wrote in the New York Times:

“The Delano’s most surreal element is surely its fabulousness — its unrelenting flow of wit and chic.”

That spirit of cultural energy and creative design is now inspiring a new generation of Delano living.

A New Icon on the Downtown Miami Skyline

Delano Residences & Hotel Miami will rise 90 stories above Downtown Miami, becoming one of the city’s tallest residential towers and a striking addition to the skyline.

The tower is designed as a vertical resort experience, blending private residences with a curated hospitality program.

Key highlights include:

• 421 fully finished residences
• Expansive views of Biscayne Bay, Miami Beach, and the Atlantic Ocean
• A sky pool more than 800 feet above the city
• Miami’s first public observation deck
• Signature restaurants and nightlife including the legendary Rose Bar
• Spa and wellness experiences through The Source by Delano
• Members-only social spaces and cultural programming

This concept reflects a growing trend in luxury real estate: hospitality-driven living, where homes deliver the same level of service and experience as a five-star hotel.

Designed by Global Visionaries

The tower brings together a world-class design team.

Conceptual architect Carlos Ott, internationally known for landmark projects like the Opéra Bastille in Paris, shaped the building’s sculptural silhouette.

Architecture is led by CUBE3, while interiors are designed by award-winning New York firm Meyer Davis, known for projects with brands like Four Seasons, Rosewood, and Auberge Resorts.

The result is a tower that feels less like a traditional condominium and more like a curated lifestyle destination.

A New Kind of Downtown Miami Living

Downtown Miami has evolved rapidly into one of the city’s most dynamic neighborhoods — surrounded by cultural institutions like the Pérez Art Museum Miami, the Adrienne Arsht Center, and the expanding Miami Worldcenter district.

Delano Residences places homeowners at the center of this transformation.

Residents will live steps from:

• waterfront parks and marinas
• major cultural institutions
• world-class dining
• the Brightline station connecting South Florida

It’s a location where culture, business, and lifestyle intersect.

A New Chapter for a Legendary Brand

Delano helped define Miami once before.

Now, it’s poised to do it again.

With a combination of architectural ambition, hospitality programming, and cultural identity, Delano Residences & Hotel Miami represents more than another luxury tower.

It represents the next evolution of how Miami lives, gathers, and experiences luxury.
