Read private dining and events at Delano, at Waldorf Astoria, at Fouquet's, at NoMad and at Kempinski.

At four of the five, the public. A restaurant in a hotel residence is a business, and a business needs more covers than ~360 or ~421 households supply, so Delano's, Waldorf Astoria's and Fouquet's rooms serve hotel guests and the city, which is what makes them good and what makes them full. NoMad's rooftop restaurant and bar have a separate elevator, which the developer publishes, and which means the roof can be reached without crossing the residents' floors. Kempinski's Sunrise Café serves breakfast in a building with no hotel, the one room on this page that is residents' by design. Waldorf Astoria's private bar and owners lounge are the resident-only rooms in that tower; Delano's Members' Club is the equivalent, on terms the buyer reads. Read which Design District, Wynwood or Downtown condo keeps its amenities for residents, hotel guests and resident spaces at Waldorf Astoria and which new Miami Beach condos have a hotel on site.

Only where a document says so. Delano publishes an Accor Ownership Benefits Program with ALL Diamond status, subject to the annual benefits fee, a published privilege with a published condition. Fouquet's publishes owner access to hotel services and amenities, which is access, not priority. Waldorf Astoria and NoMad publish the rooms and not the terms. The resident's questions are whether there is a priority for owners in season, whether a resident discount exists and on what, whether a house account can be charged to the home, and whether those privileges sit in the declaration, the shared facilities agreement or the operator's goodwill, because only the first two survive a change of operator. Read what the branded residence premium buys and branded or unbranded residences.

In a hotel building, usually, on the hotel's menu and at the hotel's price plus a service charge; in a building without one, only if the café or an outside caterer will. Delano, Waldorf Astoria and Fouquet's each publish a hotel in the tower, which is where in-residence dining comes from; Kempinski publishes no hotel and a breakfast café; NoMad a restaurant on the roof and one at the door. The buyer asks each sales team whether in-residence dining is offered, its hours, its charge, and whether it reaches the residence by the resident elevator or the service one, which is a question about who walks the corridor. Read household staff and the service entry at Six Fisher Island for that question in a building that runs its own restaurant, and how to read the amenity rules before buying a Miami condo.

In a private room, booked under rules, at a charge. Delano publishes meeting and event rooms and a Members' Club; Waldorf Astoria a private bar and wine tasting room and an owners lounge; Fouquet's its restaurants and a bar in a hotel; NoMad a speakeasy and a rooftop with its own elevator; Kempinski the café. A resident who entertains asks how a room is booked, how far ahead in season, what the minimum spend or fee is, whether outside caterers are allowed, and what the rules say about noise and hours. The answers are in the amenity rules and the operator's event terms, not the brochure.
