New kid on the block

Delano Dubai, a stunning new addition to the city’s vibrant hospitality scene, has officially opened its doors. This highly anticipated resort blends modern luxury with a touch of whimsy, offering guests an escape unlike any other.

Collectively conceived by leading designers Elastic Architects, SA Consultants, La Bottega Interiors and YDesign, in collaboration with Ennismore’s inhouse design team, the interiors of the 251-key Delano Dubai embody and evolve the aesthetic principles that defined the distinctive look and feel of the Miami original.

Stepping into the hotel feels like entering a dream world, with light-filled public areas featuring a soft minimalist aesthetic. The lobby boasts a reflective art piece by Hussain Jamil, while crisp white walls contrast beautifully with dark wood flooring.

The guest rooms and suites are a haven of tranquillity. Each space is bathed in natural light, with calming colour palettes and luxurious touches like king-size beds and plush furnishings. Many rooms boast balconies or terraces overlooking the lush gardens or the shimmering Arabian Gulf. For ultimate indulgence, the Breaking Waves Suites offer private pools steps away from the pristine beach.

Delano Dubai is a true foodie destination, boasting six distinct restaurants and bars. The much-loved Rose Bar makes a triumphant return, offering a curated cocktail list and playful bar snacks served with a touch of Americana flair. The legendary Blue Door restaurant, opening in November, promises an elegant setting with sweeping ocean views.

For a taste of Italy, Tutto Passa offers an all-day menu of coastal classics like linguine with lobster and fregola with seafood. Maison Revka, arriving in November, brings Parisian elegance and hearty Slavic dishes to Dubai. La Cantine Beach by RIKAS Group offers a vibrant beachfront experience with Mediterranean cuisine and a variety of activities like pickleball and beach volleyball. Finally, Gohan by RIKAS Group provides an upscale yet relaxed Japanese dining experience.

The centrepiece of the resort is the iconic Delano Pool, fringed by whimsical umbrellas and inviting guests to relax and socialise. For those seeking wellness, the Delano wellness studio offers cutting-edge health innovations and personalised experiences curated by renowned yoga instructor Adrienne Everett.

Nestled on the pristine shores of Bluewaters Dubai, Delano offers guests a 250-metre stretch of private beachfront. The hotel enjoys stunning views of both the Arabian Gulf and the Dubai skyline, and is just a short distance from Dubai Marina and Palm Jumeirah.

Delano is part of Ennismore, a creative hospitality company rooted in culture and community, with a global collective of entrepreneurial and founder-built brands with purpose at their heart. Formed in 2021, Ennismore is a joint-venture with Accor, which holds a majority shareholding.
