“Not what we expected- but not bad”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 15, 2012

Stay here was an experience for us, not what we expected or are used too, that does not mean it was bad just different. Med size boutique hotel, small room even smaller bath rooms, but the best service I have ever experience. The staff from the valets the front desk, housekeeping, room service could not of been better. I am in the service business and have to take my hat off to who ever is training the staff, well done !
Our problem with the Hotel is more of a personal opinion, It has a vibrerent night life a younger single crowd not excatly what my wife and I were looking for, but for that crowd I could the place being great if the rooms and bathroom were a little larger.For us we stayed in the Four Seasons in Palm Beach for about the same price and that is more along our style. For the younger crowd I think this place would be great.

“Perfect Weekend Getaway from NYC”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 14, 2012

I've been going to the Delano for over 10 years, and I always leave more relaxed than when I left.

When you walk in you are greeted by huge roman columns, and white curtains which really adds to the sheekness of this hotel. The enitre lobby is a wood, with white columns decorating your way to the pool area.

The rooms art deco rooms that are decorted almost exclusively white are the perfect retreat. I love the added touch of the iPad in every room, as well as the BOSE speaker system.

My favorite thing about this hotel is lounging by the pool on any sunny day. The pool service is some of the best in South Beach. Healthy food and amazing drinks. The pool is heated so always worth a dip.

In room dining never disappoints, so go ahead an splurge after those late nights out.

Enjoy my home away from home!

“Very Cool”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 13, 2012

This is the perfect place for a couple to spend a weekend. The lobby is very nice and modern. The pool and beach are very alive but not overcrowded. We had a pool side villa which was very nice. I was surprised how private our room was. This hotel has beautiful landscaping, that must have taken manny years to perfect which they did. The food is good although its a bit pricy.

Room Tip: high floor for noise.

“Not a good value”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 13, 2012

Rooms are small. Bathrooms are smaller. Service does match the price tag, but just not worth the premium.

It is quite an atmosphere they have created at the hotel...like a bleached out Cirque du Soleil set. I'm too boring.

Room Tip: Rooms are small, so upgrade if it's in your budget.

“Trendy hotel & excellent location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 13, 2012

if you want to experience Miami at its fullest, and budget is not a constraint, this is the place to stay. The hotel's location is unmatched, you have the beach at the backyard, and you're walking distance to Lincoln Rd, and the South Beach shops, restaurants, and clubs.

My only problem was that the hardwood floors got very cold and they did not have slippers and the bathroom, although chic is not too big. however, it's amazing when you don't even need to leave your hotel for a great meal or night out. This is the place to start every party in Miami.
