The hotel

The ultimate urban resort hotel, the world-class Delano is the very height of luxury. Stunning to look at, it also boasts beautiful Philippe Starck interiors which will awe and delight you in equal measures. When it opened in 1995 the hotel must have set a world record for the number of press inches devoted to a new hotel. Journalists, not normally easily impressed, waxed lyrical about the white rooms, the white marble, the white-clad staff and the all-white spa. Starck's design for the Delano's public spaces has achieved the status that all architects and designers long for: recognition as a 'classic', with its soaring ceiling height and forest of imposing column offering great visual drama. Ten years on, this place has still got what it takes - Messieurs Starck and Schrager: take a bow. There's a choice of dining options here and Rose Bar is a very glamorous meeting place with cocktails served under Venetian chandeliers. For night-time entertainment, look no further than FDR at Delano and if spa treatments are high on your list of priorities, head up to the rooftop Agua Spa, a peaceful sanctuary offering a wide range of treatments and panoramic city views.

Im in praise of the hotel staff & amenities but would like to tell the readers about my horrendous experience during check out. My room was fully paid by the travel agent but at the time of check in I got charged again by mistake by the hotel (its too big of a mistake by a reputable hotel). Its ok mistakes do happen. I checked out on the 2nd of march 2020 and after calling the hotel and writing continuous emails to them I still haven't got a refund till date (today is 2nd sept 2020). Even after being at fault the hotel management is not bothered to process the refund. All they have been saying for the past 6 months specially Mr. Maykel Albernas is that the refund is in process. Every time I call the hotel I'm charged international rates since I'm back in India. Ive been tossed to about 6 different people to whom I had to narrate the entire wrong charge story leading to no result. Ive never faced such a horrible experience with any management before this. I request anyone planning to stay at the Delano or any subsidiary to please be very cautious at the time of check out Read less

As always the Delano absolutely rocks. Great pool, menu changes a bit but still delicious. Hotel staff is attentive and always ready to provide customer service. Rooms are clean and always turned over promptly.

Much like other recent reviewers I took had booked a stay at Delano where they took a 1 night deposit up front. Then the hotel could not honor the stay due to being closed for Covid-19. I have called and spoken to the operator at the hotel numerous times and gotten no response. When I first spoke with them about the cancelation they said I would get a refund within 10 days. Then they said they were taking a little longer. Then they said within 60 days I would have my money. Of course that did not happen either. I would not recommend anyone stay with Delano or SBE Group hotels based on this type of customer service. Read less
