The Delano almost single-handedly brought life back to Miami’s South Beach. This Art Deco-turned-contemporary hotel opened in the mid-90s to much fanfare. Rooms and suites are the last word in minimalism, with clean lines and simple furnishings all in white. The poolside cabanas remain the place to see and be seen.
