Miami has never been short on glamorous places to see and be seen, but the newly reimagined Delano Miami Beach is taking exclusivity to an entirely new level. The iconic South Beach hotel has returned with a private members club created for a sophisticated, globally minded community drawn to culture, travel, wellness, dining and meaningful connection. So we asked our Miami real estate expert, Nick Jovanovich to tell us all about it!
For those who remember the original Delano, its return feels especially exciting. The hotel helped define the look and energy of modern South Beach, and this next chapter honors that celebrated history while introducing a more intimate and elevated way to experience it.
A Private World Within the Delano
The Delano Members Club occupies dedicated spaces on the hotel’s fourth floor, giving members access to a private retreat within one of Miami Beach’s most recognizable destinations. The atmosphere is refined yet relaxed—the kind of place where a morning workout, an afternoon by the pool, an impromptu meeting and an elegant dinner can all unfold under one roof.
Membership includes access to the club’s dedicated fourth-floor spaces, as well as beach and pool access when space is available. Members can also enjoy an ongoing calendar of cultural and entertainment programming, including talks, live music, gallery experiences and chef-led tastings.
This is not simply another private club. It is designed as a gathering place for accomplished, creative and curious people who appreciate beautiful surroundings but value the community and experiences within them just as much.
Dining Worth Joining For
One of the most talked-about features is Mimi Kakushi, the Delano’s modern Japanese restaurant and bar inspired by the creative energy of 1920s Osaka. Open only to members and hotel guests, it combines Japanese cuisine with Western influences and an inventive cocktail program in an intimate, glamorous setting.
Members also receive preferred restaurant and bar reservations throughout Delano hotels. At the Miami Beach property, the culinary lineup includes Gigi Rigolatto, which brings coastal Italian dining, aperitivo cocktails, poolside and beachside spaces, and a signature Bellini bar to the oceanfront.
Wellness, Travel and Lifestyle Benefits
The Delano Members Club extends well beyond dining and socializing. Benefits currently include:
- Dedicated members-only spaces on the fourth floor
- Beach and pool access, subject to availability
- Exclusive cultural and entertainment programming
- A complimentary two-night stay at Delano Miami Beach
- Preferred room rates at Delano hotels
- Automatic room upgrades when available
- Flexible check-in and departure

Together, these privileges make the membership especially appealing to people who divide their time among major cities, travel frequently or simply want their social, wellness and hospitality experiences handled with an extra level of ease.
Membership Options
The Delano currently lists several membership categories:
- Individual Membership: $6,000 joining fee and $12,000 annually

Membership is application-based, reinforcing the club’s focus on building a thoughtfully curated community rather than simply offering access to amenities. Since benefits, pricing and availability may change, prospective members should confirm current details directly with Delano.
Applications and additional information are available through the Delano Members Club. Membership questions may be directed to membership.miamibeach@delanohotels.com.
