Ennismore and Dubai Holding recently announced the forthcoming opening of Delano Dubai, marking a significant step in the brand's international development. Scheduled to open in 2024, this first outlet in the United Arab Emirates will be located in the Bluewaters Dubai district.
The project follows the landmark agreement signed between Ennismore and Dubai Holding in 2023 to bring lifestyle experiences to Dubai. It follows the opening of Banyan Tree Dubai at Bluewaters at the end of last year.
Located on the beachfront, Delano Dubai will offer 251 rooms, including 84 suites, a beachfront pool and four distinct food and beverage concepts, including a collaboration with Paris Society for a restaurant and pool club. Inspired by the heritage of the original Delano in Miami Beach, the luxury property retains the signature elements of the brand.
Ennismore has also announced a long-term partnership with Cain International in 2024 to continue the global expansion of the Delano brand, which also includes the reopening of Delano Miami Beach.
“The launch of Delano Dubai underscores our commitment to set new standards of excellence in luxury hospitality and strengthen Dubai’s position as a leading international tourism hub. Together with the recent opening of Banyan Tree Dubai, we are proud to mark another milestone in the evolution of Bluewaters Dubai as a luxury lifestyle destination. Our collaboration with market leaders like Ennismore and Banyan Group will continue to focus on welcoming new brands to Dubai and further enrich the city’s vibrant hospitality landscape.” - Amit Kaushal, Group Chief Executive Officer, Dubai Holding
“When Delano launched in Miami in 1995, it traded traditional, gilded luxury for something far more modern and understated, but equally grand. Delano pioneered the concept of lifestyle hospitality as we know it today, and we are thrilled to be bringing the iconic Delano to the forefront of global hospitality again, with a new home in Dubai – marking a major milestone in the brand’s journey. From its origins in Miami, a bustling social hub, to the new global hub of extraordinary experiences, Dubai, Delano is set to introduce a new level of luxury, discernment and vibrant energy to the city as our debut property in the region. We look forward to sharing more exciting details about Delano Dubai over the coming months.” - Sharan Pasricha, Founder & Co-CEO and Gaurav Bhushan, Co-CEO, Ennismore
