Delano South Beach |
The Delano South Beach hotel is an upscale resort located in Miami Beach, Florida. Delano was a part of the Morgans Hotel Group collection prior to MHG being purchased by SBE Entertainment Group. It is located directly on the beach. The Delano is known for its whimsical, art-deco styling and its celebrity clientele, and its pool is one of the few hotel pools in Miami Beach where female toplessness is allowed.[1] In 2007, the Delano South Beach was ranked in the American Institute of Architects list of "America's Favorite Architecture".[2] On April 18, 2012, the AIA's Florida Chapter placed the Delano South Beach on its list of Florida Architecture: 100 Years. 100 Places.[3]
History[]
Designed by architect Robert Swartburg, the Delano was built in 1947 by Rob and Rose Schwartz. The hotel was originally utilized for military housing. The then four-winged Art Deco tower of the Delano was the tallest building in Miami Beach. The 1994 renovations were designed by Philippe Starck.[4] The hotel is named after US President Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
