Delano Residences & Hotel: Miami’s Iconic Brand Debuts with Downtown’s Second Supertall

Delano Residences & Hotel: Miami’s Iconic Brand Debuts with Downtown’s Second Supertall

Since it first opened its doors on South Beach in 1947, the Delano became a cultural phenomenon that helped define Miami Beach’s glamor and global cachet. Designed in the iconic Art Deco style and later reimagined by Philippe Starck as a playground for celebrities, tastemakers, and international jet-setters, the Delano wasn’t just a place to stay — it was a place to be seen, a creative canvas of bold design, vibrant pool culture, and effortless sophistication that became synonymous with Miami’s rise as a must‑visit lifestyle capital. 

Now, that same legendary spirit, once embodied by its iconic pool parties, Rose Bar nights, and avant‑garde aesthetic, is being translated into a residential living experience with the launch of the Delano Residences and Hotel in Downtown Miami. This marks the brand’s first standalone condo‑hotel, bringing Delano’s history of cultural relevance, design pedigree, and social energy into an entirely new chapter of urban living. 

A remarkable addition to new luxury condos in Downtown Miami, this 90-story, 985-foot marvel of architecture and design will trail behind PMG’s Waldorf Astoria Hotel and Residences as Downtown Miami’s second supertall tower. It will feature 421 fully finished and furnished residences, divided into two collections, one of which will have no rental restrictions. 

Developed by Property Markets Group (PMG) in partnership with Ennismore, the building will debut a host of premium amenities and services, including an observation deck, keeping with Delano's unique hospitality standards.

Situated in one of Miami’s most dynamic neighborhoods, the all-glass tower will be located at 400 Biscayne Boulevard, adjacent to the visually contrasting Waldorf Astoria. 

If one thing is certain, this Downtown Miami luxury condo will be a deliciously bold addition to the Magic City’s playground. Read on for all the details.

 

 

Delano’s Timeless Legacy: From Hotel to Residences

Since its inauguration in 1947, Delano has played a key role in establishing Miami as a household name among the world’s elite, forming a firm identity as a pioneer in lifestyle hospitality, thanks to its charming blend of elegant contemporary design and a cultural core that has attracted celebrities from every generation, from Frank Sinatra to Madonna, George Clooney, Shakira and Bad Bunny. 

With locations now in Miami, Paris, and Dubai, and the original South Beach location soon to reopen as well, the Delano brand has enchanted the hearts and minds of travelers, tastemakers, and thought leaders around the world for decades.

Now, more than 80 years later, Delano will begin another exciting chapter by entering the luxury residential realm with a proposal that exceeds expectations. The grandeur of the Delano Residences and Hotel Miami serves as another reflection of Delano's long-standing ethos of elevated and exceptional hospitality, this time brought to everyday living. 

 

A Downtown Miami Luxury Condo That’s a Masterclass in Design

The Delano Residences and Hotel's striking exterior and enchanting interior represent a melding of visionary minds, expanding architecture and interior design.  

World-renowned conceptual artist Carlos Ott, the architect behind the Waldorf Astoria Residences stacked-cubes design, and nationally celebrated architectural firm CUBE 3 drew artistic inspiration from statuesque lines and the "fluid motion of a flame dancing in the wind.” Managing to perfectly translate the poetic into the material, the design for The Delano Hotel & Residences Miami conceptualizes a tower that prioritizes curvilinear forms and fluid shapes. 

Inside the residences, New York City’s award-winning design studio Meyer Davis offers a complementary philosophy, envisioning the tower's interior as a vertical resort that follows a natural progression of energy and movement as it ascends into the skies. Spaces are marked by filtered light, sculptural circulation, and mineral-toned materials.

 

 

Functional Elegance from Lobby to Penthouse

Optimized for your utmost privacy and security, the Delano Residences condo tower will have three separate access points – one for residents, one for guests, and one for the general public. Directly above the lobby will be the fully furnished deeded office suites, which will be available to select residences.

Still on the lower floors, you’ll have access to event and meeting rooms, a resort-style pool deck with a wraparound pool and lavish gardens, a signature all-day restaurant, the legendary Delano Rose Bar, and The Source, Delano’s health-and-wellness solution that offers fitness centers, treatment rooms, a relaxation area, saunas, and cold plunges.

Floors 20 to 47 will be dedicated to the Delano Collection, comprising fully furnished suites and 1- to 2-bedroom units with no rental restrictions, making this an ideal opportunity for investors and those wanting a luxury Miami vacation home that also provides income. 

The Delano Residences will make up floors 49 to 75, featuring 1- to 3-bedroom residences that will also come fully finished with the option to select custom colors and finishes. All of the Delano Residences units on these floors will come with a deeded office space. And these residential sky homes will not allow daily rentals for your privacy. 

Situated on top of the building’s penthouses, 800 feet above ground, will be the Sky Pool as well as two restaurant levels, one of which can only be accessed by Delano Residents. 

Finally, 850 feet above ground will be Miami’s first observation deck, conceptualized as a gift to the city and freely available to the public.

 

 

Interiors and Services Worthy of the Delano Experience

The Delano condo residences in Downtown Miami will exude luxury and quality at every corner, starting with floor-to-ceiling windows featuring breathtaking, largely unobstructed views of Downtown Miami’s impressive skyline, the glistening waters of Biscayne Bay, and the vast Atlantic Ocean. 

Additionally, residences will be equipped with fully integrated Sub-Zero and Wolf appliance packages, Waterworks bathroom fixtures, a contemporary lighting package, smart-home technology, fully built-out closets, and custom cabinetry and countertops, curated by Meyer Davis and crafted by Italian design house Italkraft.

Expanding the elevated living experience beyond the residences, you’ll have access to hotel-caliber services, such as 24-hour reception and security, valet parking, an owner concierge service, a mail room with space for packages, secure WiFi, and more. 

Finally, as an owner, you’ll have access to the exclusive beach services at the Delano Miami Beach, as well as membership to the Delano Members’ Club

Prime Downtown Miami Location Where Culture and Charm Await

Owning a Delano Residences and Hotel condo means you’ll be steps away from award-winning restaurants, multiple entertainment options, world-class museums, cultural landmarks, and stunning parks. You’ll also benefit from living in one of the most walkable neighborhoods in all of Miami, with everything you could need at your fingertips, as you can see in our exclusive video about the pros and cons of living in Downtown Miami.

Located right on Biscayne Boulevard, virtually next door to the iconic Waldorf Astoria, this outstanding project will be less than a mile away from the Adrienne Arsht Center, the Pérez Art Museum, the Kaseya Center, Bayfront Park, Bayside Marketplace, and Brickell, as well as Brickell City Centre, to name just a few iconic destinations. 

Downtown Miami is also fabulously connected to other neighborhoods, with places like the Design District, Wynwood, Brickell, and South Beach just a short drive away. Finally, the Brightline is less than six blocks away, and the Miami International Airport is only 15 minutes away by car, so changing up the scenery is incredibly easy.
