The Delano South Beach hotel is an upscale resort located in Miami Beach, Florida. Delano is now a part of the Morgans Hotel Group collection. It is located directly on the beach. The Delano is known for its whimsical, art-deco styling and its celebrity clientele. In 2007, the Delano South Beach was ranked in the American Institute of Architects list of "America's Favorite Architecture". On April 18, 2012, the AIA's Florida Chapter placed the Delano South Beach on its list of Florida Architecture: 100 Years. 100 Places.

Designed by architect Robert Swartburg, the Delano was built in 1947 by Rob and Rose Schwartz. The hotel was originally utilized for military housing. The then four-winged Art Deco tower of the Delano was the tallest building in Miami. The 1994 renovations were designed by Philippe Starck. The hotel is named after US President Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
