The considered choice of these two new iconic destinations sets the tone for Delano’s continued evolution, which is guided by a legacy of refinement, warmth and intuition and underlined by world-class entertainment and an innovative approach to cultural and wellness programming. Alongside New York, Miami, and London, the recent debuts of Delano in Dubai and Paris mark an exciting time for the brand, which firmly places it at the forefront of the global luxury lifestyle map.
This momentum builds on Ennismore’s strategic partnership with Cain, which acquired a minority stake in Delano in 2024. Together, they are making bold moves to invest in the brand, elevating its presence worldwide. As part of this next chapter, Ennismore also welcomes Ben Pundole as Chief Brand Officer for Delano. With deep experience in the global luxury and lifestyle sector, Pundole brings a strong track record in shaping innovative hospitality brands and driving cultural relevance, further strengthening Delano’s positioning for the future.
At Delano, dedicated wellness and retail spaces are woven into the guest journey at all properties, creating opportunities for both restoration and discovery. Thoughtfully designed wellness spaces inspire calm reflection and vibrant connection, offering experiences that nurture body and mind while fostering a spirit of community. Alongside, curated retail spaces invite guests to explore timeless pieces and sensory expressions that capture the essence of each destination, allowing them to carry the distinctive Delano spirit beyond their stay.
