Delano Residences & Hotel Miami is at Fourth and Biscayne, Downtown Miami · views of downtown, Biscayne Bay, Miami Beach and the Atlantic. The Delano Residences & Hotel Miami dossier holds the developer’s published record. Read it against the Kempinski Residences Miami Design District dossier for the nearest comparison.

The record, in the developer’s words: Development: Property Markets Group · sales and marketing by PMG Residential. Architecture: Carlos Ott, conceptual artist · CUBE3, architecture. Interiors: Meyer Davis, interior design and architecture. Brand: Delano, under licence, with Ennismore and Accor as project team · hotel and residences in one tower.

Insurance, staffing and the brand fee are the lines that move most; reserves are the line the law now watches.
Two resort pools, one on the bay deck and one in the sky · The Source by Delano spa and fitness with steam, sauna and cold plunge · Delano Rose Bar · Café Delano · all day restaurant · sky restaurant · Members’ Club · meeting and event rooms. Every one of those has a staffing cost in the budget, and the first year is when the building learns what they really cost.
Delano, under licence, with Ennismore and Accor as project team · hotel and residences in one tower. The first year is when procedures are written: packages, guests, contractors, moving days, the pool at night. Owners who show up to the first meetings shape them; the rest inherit them.
