New Hotels Open Now

Delano Miami Beach

One of Miami’s most highly anticipated hotel openings has finally arrived. The Delano Miami Beach is back on Collins Avenue in South Beach with a fresh new look. Originally built in 1947, the property was relaunched by Ian Schrager in 1995 and swiftly earned a rep for its buzzy lobby scene, drawing the likes of Madonna and Kate Moss – and ushering in a new era of South Beach cool.

After closing in 2020 and undergoing significant renovations, the historic Art Deco icon reopened in May 2026 with Ennismore stewarding it into a brand new era. Today's Delano features a light and airy new look, a members club and two internationally acclaimed restaurants making their U.S. debuts: Gigi Rigolatto (Italian) and Mimi Kakushi (Japanese).

Hotel Casa Cañita

A playful new boutique hotel on Ocean Drive, Casa Cañita marks the debut collaboration between Miami’s own James Beard Award-winning chef Michelle Bernstein and her interior designer sister, Nicolette Bernstein.

Little Havana’s hotel scene continues to evolve with the March 2026 opening of El Jardín Inn. Situated inside a 1940s-era Art Deco apartment building, the space has been transformed into a vibrant, 18-room boutique hotel just off famed Calle Ocho.

A destination for travelers to immerse themselves in the neighborhood’s art and culture, the hotel also offers wellness events, movie nights and other curated events in its lovely courtyard space. Friday through Sunday, Mori Matcha pops up in the garden serving matcha, coffee and sweet treats.

The Sunny

The Sunny is a ray of sunshine in Sunny Isles Beach. Replacing the longtime Newport Beachside Hotel & Resort, the new concept is a complete redevelopment, including spacious and modern guest rooms and a brand new oceanfront pool deck with sunshine yellow-striped lounges and umbrellas.

Four unique restaurant concepts range from fast-casual to fine dining and even a spot perched above the ocean on the pier. Situated just north of the famed Newport Fishing Pier, The Sunny is a true destination resort experience.
