The 72 Best Hotel Openings of 2024
Delano Dubai
Set on the waterfront destination Bluewaters Island, the 167-room Delano Dubai takes cues from the understated styling of the Delano South Beach, the brand’s original outpost designed by Philippe Starck. Signature white hues create bright, light-filled spaces that contrast architectural lighting, bold tones, and materials such as leather, marble, onyx, and mohair. Three F&B options round out the property, including the amber-hued Italian restaurant Tutto Passa, beachfront venue Blue Door, and Rose Bar, the reimagination of a much-loved Delano classic.
