This was a beautiful hotel with a great staff. You have to know in advance that you are booking a room at a place built in the 1920's in South Beach - in other words, the rooms are not huge and there is noise of the late night people out at the clubs. The room was comfortable even though the bathroom was pretty close quarters. Bed was comfortable. Be prepared for everything in your room to be white. I won my nights in a charity auction, so I cannot give any kind of an accurate answer on value. Concierge gave good recommendations to good restaurants and good attractions without them being the most expensive or flashiest. While the pool was very pretty and nice, the service on the beach made it that much better. All around, a wonderful 3 nights.

I loved the service and the pool. This hotel never disappoints after all these years. The design and style is awesome and the location on the beach rocks. I've been coming back for 10 years. and hopefully for more years to come.

Booked a beautiful Ocean Front room, only to discover it had been given to another guest when I checked in. The only room available was a tiny, dirty room with hair on the floor and a "cruise ship type" bathroom. Stayed in a high traffic corner room so I could listen to honking horns, motorcycles, slamming doors and blasting car stereos all night. Not exactly the rolling sounds of waves crashing along the shoreline which I had expected. I tried to get the room I had reserved, but instead I was given a list of other hotels from the woman at the front desk, who seemed to care less where I stayed on January 31, 2013. Her flippant demeanor was that which could be found at the local Super 8 Motel. Instead of charging me the nearly $800 for my Ocean Front, she acted like she was doing me a favor by giving me a very small discount. Unfortunately, I couldn't find another hotel in the area and ended up staying at the Delano. BEWARE! Common areas such as the lobby and hallways are beautiful, but when you walk into a room.....Look out!!!!!!! Would never stay there again even if the room was free! (Instead of supplying condoms in the rooms, ear plugs would be a better choice)

I lived in Miami for a while and used to go the Delano quite a bit. This time I was in town visiting.The crowd is still the same but you can tell the hotel is aging just a bit. The location is great and the service is even better. Expect the best and be sure to get a drink at the Rose Bar!
