This somewhat surreal 16-story hotel is on the beachfront, three blocks from Ocean Drive and one block from the shopping and restaurants of Lincoln Road Mall. The hotel offers a rooftop health-and-beauty spa, a complete fitness centre and an outdoor pool with underwater music and areas for meditating and eating.

The hotel'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.
 

 

Delano South Beach 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.
 

 

This hotel offers 206 guestrooms, suites, and poolside bungalows. All rooms are "guarded" by a pewter angel fixture mounted high on one of the walls.
