What to expect: Renowned hotelier Ian Schrager and designer Philippe Starck have created a high-end hotel experience that's luxurious and a little surreal. The Delano's lobby has billowing, floor-to-ceiling curtains and whimsical furniture. Delano's location makes it ideal for exploring South Beach, and it's a surprisingly restful hotel, especially for guests who spend time near the pool or on the wide stretch of beach directly behind the hotel. The hotel's guests are an international mix of upscale leisure travelers and business guests, with an emphasis on the entertainment industry. Amenity highlights: The indoor-outdoor lobby is the focal point of the hotel: Guests flow through the space, with its many intimate seating areas, proceed to the garden, and then arrive at the showpiece pool, which has underwater classical music, abundant lounge chairs, and private cabanas. The rooftop spa, agua, offers 360-degree views of Miami Beach, is modeled on an ancient bathhouse, and offers a full line of treatments. Insider tip: Delano is just 1 block from Lincoln Road Mall, with a wide selection of shops, restaurants, and cafés, a multiplex cinema, and a symphony. It's a great place to wander and people-watch. An antiques market and a farmers' market are held there on weekends in season.
