Ennismore has announced a new chapter for Delano with the signings of Delano SoHo New York and Delano London, ahead of the reopening of the original Delano Miami Beach.
The choice of these destinations sets the tone for Delano’s continued evolution, which is guided by a legacy of refinement, warmth and intuition and underlined by quality entertainment and an innovative approach to cultural and wellness programming.
With sights set on an early 2026 reopening, Delano Miami Beach will showcase a design that pays homage to the building’s Art Deco roots through the preservation of key historical features, ensuring the hotel’s heritage is integrates with a modern elegance.
The South Beach property houses 171 guestrooms and suites, including poolside bungalow suites and penthouse suites, and will be home to four restaurant and bar concepts, including a recreation of the Rose Bar.
In addition, the recent signing of Delano SoHo New York, also in partnership with Cain, will see the hotel – currently known as The Dominick – become a social enclave.
Located on the doorstep of SoHo on Spring Street in Hudson Square, the hotel’s design merges opposing elements – modern and classic, soft and sculptural – to offer both a sanctuary for relaxation and a dynamic environment for social interaction.
The 390 guestrooms and suites embrace fluidity with curved silhouettes, rich textures and bespoke finishes, with expansive event spaces also situated at the top of the 46-story tower.
Across the Atlantic, set steps away from Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park and framed by a red-brick and stucco facade, Delano London is poised to nurture a 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. 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.
The hotel’s 67 guestrooms 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 ‘apple a day’.
The ground-floor restaurant at Delano London will be curated by Ennismore’s F&B platform, introducing one of its most authentic brands to London for the first time. Also set to make its London debut is Miami’s 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 290m2 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 feature at all properties, creating opportunities for both restoration and discovery.
Alongside New York, Miami and London, the recent debuts of Delano in Dubai and Paris mark an eventful time for the brand as it positions 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. As part of this next chapter, Ennismore has also welcomed 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.
“With the debut of Delano Dubai and the much-anticipated reopening of Miami Beach, Delano has entered a new chapter in its celebrated history,” says Sharan Pasricha, Founder & Co-CEO of Ennismore. “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, also commented: “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.”
