Ennismore, Accor’s lifestyle hospitality arm, will bring the Delano brand to Dubai.
The Delano Dubai is expected to open later this year as part of the Bluewaters Dubai complex. The Delano Dubai will have 251 guestrooms, including 84 suites. Some accommodations will have private pools.
The property will be home to a restaurant and pool club, a patisserie, a Levantine-inspired restaurant and a “contemporary reimagining” of the Rose Bar at the original Delano South Beach in Miami Beach.
The Delano Dubai will be the second hotel to open at Bluewaters Dubai, joining the Banyan Tree Dubai, which opened late last year.
The original Delano in South Beach has been closed since 2020, but Ennismore announced plans to extensively renovate the hotel last year. No reopening date has been set.
Ennismore has extended the Delano flag with a city-oriented offshoot called Maison Delano. The company opened its first Maison Delano, the 56-room Maison Delano Paris, in 2023.
