Delano South Beach

wow - what an impact when you step inside, but why so few people - I don't get it. but then you don't care - this huge Alice in Wonderland vibe with man size chess board in the gardens. outdoor restaurant, having drinks in the middle of the pool, Cabanas, BBQ style beach bar - it has everything. So I really don't get why it's half empty! - ok - I give up - I don't care - the fact that I was able to order a glass of champagne with a girl as we rolled our trousers up (mine) and waded into the shallow end pool to sit at a table on our own - priceless - well it was actually $180 for 2 glass of champagne - my fault for just ordering and letting them choose. - but yes love this place!

This review is specifically for Doheny Room at The Delano. I visited Miami with a group of girls on a bachelorette party and we stopped by Doheny Room on our last night and had the best time. The decor was spot on with lush velvet and vintage palm prints -- just the right about of glam without being too much. The room is small and intimate, the crowd amazing and the music was just FUN -- such a relief from the house music in a lot of other spots. Service was great, super friendly and attentive. If we had gone from our first night we wouldn't have gone anywhere else. Highly recommend.

We do not actually stay here when I visit, but I go here for drinks/food and to enjoy the surroundings. I love the floor to ceiling curtains that are found throughout the property. The smell is amazing and I wish I could capture it to share with my friends. We would certainly stay here if it fit our budget, but we are happy to still enjoy it as visitors.

This was by far my best trip to Miami and I know it was due to the amazing staff at the Delano. My sister-in-law, niece (5), and nephew (8) come to Miami twice a year and this time we decided to stay here. I've stayed here a few times before and have never had a bad stay. While you might not think of the Delano as a kid friendly hotel it worked out perfectly. I mean the pool, chicken fingers, inflatable swans, and frozen treats served poolside was more than enough to keep them satisfied. Dinner! You have to try the Argentinian BBQ! We had the whole roasted chicken, lamb, brussel sprouts, and roasted cauliflower. The meat was served fresh from the grill table side on a warm sizzling mini grill! Better than the food once again, was the service. The food and beverage manager Mohsen Dodd is truly something special. He was kind, engaging, and talked to us as if we were friends and family. My niece and nephew even called him Amoo Mohsen ( uncle Mohsen in Farsi). For dessert he made chocolate ice cream table side! A fun little science project that the kids loved. Diego took care of us everyday at the pool. He was very attentive and accommodating for all of our request. Etty and Jose on our last day for lunch spoiled us rotten with kindness and great sushi suggestions. Oh the sushi! To die for ���� "Princess" Tiana, one of the hostess, was magic as she enthusiastically entertained the vivid imagination of my nieces' tales. To sum it up, we didn't want to leave we never want to leave South Beach! We will be back for Christmas!

Love this hotel as much as I love this city. Hotel never fails me & neither do it's staff. They can't do enough for you. Super cool, super chic & super trendy. Love it, as does my wife. We will 100% be seeing you again in the future, most probably with some couple friend this time. Until next time...
