Honest review
Delano has reached Dubai: in October 2024 the legendary Miami brand opened on the Bluewaters peninsula — with understated chic in the spirit of Philippe Starck and a reimagined Rose Bar.
Just 251 rooms and suites, each with a balcony or terrace and a marble bathroom. The palette is tonal, the silhouettes soft and flowing: a rare case for Dubai where luxury speaks in a low voice. The interiors were created by Elastic Architects, LaBottega, SA Consultants and Y Design.
The summit is the Delano penthouse across the entire seventh floor: five bedrooms, a private entrance with its own lift, a private infinity pool and two terraces with views of the skyline and the Arabian Gulf.
Dining comes in three acts: the Italian Tutto Passa in amber tones with the mood of the Amalfi Coast, the beachside Blue Door, and that very Rose Bar beloved of the Hollywood crowd.
We suggest looking closely at the suites: 83 options with one or two bedrooms, elegant living and dining areas, and some with their own terraces, gardens and pools.
Who it suits: those looking for style in Dubai rather than gold — couples and connoisseurs of designer addresses.
