The Art Deco-style Delano is where hip South Beach took off in 1994 when Philippe Starck redesigned the 1947 building for Ian Schrager. It is on the beach, steps from Lincoln Road shopping, the New World Symphony and Miami Beach Convention Center and always buzzing during Art Basel. Rooms can be described as "beach chic." Its visually dramatic swimming pool has underwater music. The 3,500 square foot Aqua Spa offers full-service spa classics and anti-aging treatments with a rooftop view. Hidden away in a subterranean sanctuary is the FDR Bar with international DJs, live music, celebrity drop-ins and creative cocktails from 11 pm to 5 am Monday, Friday and Saturday. Lots of adult fun, but the hotel is also family friendly with a kids' playground and babysitting available.
