Delano, the iconic centerpiece of Miami Beach, will have a soft opening in late March 2026 following a transformation that celebrates the city’s unique spirit.

Central to this new chapter is a partnership with Paris Society, marking the hospitality group’s first U.S. venture and introducing two of its most celebrated culinary concepts: Italian favorite Gigi Rigolatto and World’s 50 Best–listed Mimi Kakushi.

Founded in 2008 by Laurent de Gourcuff, Paris Society operates more than 70 ultra-premium venues worldwide across dining, nightlife, and hotels.

“Opening at Delano Miami Beach feels like a natural extension of our world,” said CEO Rizwan Kassim in a media announcement, noting the group’s design-led approach where cuisine, atmosphere, and experience converge. “Opening at Delano Miami Beach, and as part of the Ennismore family, makes this collaboration feel like a natural extension of our world.”

Gigi Rigolatto, arriving from Paris, St. Tropez, Rome, Dubai, and Bodrum, brings its signature Alla Grande Italian lifestyle to Miami. Designed by Hugo Toro, the vibrant, Mediterranean-inspired space extends from Delano’s first floor to the Beach Club, offering indoor dining, poolside seating, and beach cabana dining, and is anchored by the Bellini Bar.
