Anchored by intimate yet energetic public spaces and
sophisticated accommodations, the non-smoking, all-suite boutique
hotel will appeal to the most discerning travelers from around the
globe.
At Delano Las Vegas, guests will discover a blend of personalized
service and effortless luxury coupled with unexpected elements of
individuality and high-concept design.
"Delano guests will be wowed by
the introduction of this very special destination," said
Matthew Chilton, general manager of
Delano Las Vegas. "Dynamic public spaces will serve as social hubs
where guests will want to linger and socialize while the clean
design of the suites will create a quiet escape."
Blending eclectic details to create an atmosphere that is
playful and filled with energy, the stylish public spaces will be
highlighted by a sleek new lobby featuring three distinct
social spaces – a unique coffee bar, sophisticated lounge and cafe
concept. Upstairs and away from the action, Delano's 1,100 guest suites will provide a
luxurious retreat.
Public Spaces
- A Grand Arrival. As guests approach Delano Las Vegas'
expansive stone entry and wood-slatted gate, they will encounter an
extraordinary divided boulder from the Nevada desert, certain to become a signature
element of the hotel. Guests will venture down a striking walkway
featuring colors and textures inspired by the layered landscape of
the Mojave Desert, inviting them to drift further into Delano Las
Vegas' alluring escape.
- The Journey Begins. Entering through an oversized etched
wooden doorway, guests will see an inviting pathway of stone
surrounded by towering columns enveloped in Delano's iconic white sheers and statement
mirrors. At the end of the corridor, a stunning piece of artwork
comprised of small rocks suspended from the ceiling with a sculpted
opening will reveal a glimpse of what lies beyond. A sleek black
reception desk highlighted by a golden patchwork art piece overhead
will welcome guests.
- Sunrise to Sunset. Situated just off the main lobby,
3940 Coffee + Tea will provide guests with a space to meet
and mingle from day to night. The bar will serve gourmet coffee and
tea from Grand Avenue Specialty Coffee, a company dedicated to
providing a superior coffee and artisanal tea experience. Fresh
squeezed juices and breakfast pastries such as warm scones, savory
and sweet crepes, and cronuts with house-made jams will be served
throughout the morning. Each afternoon, a tea cart will offer the
finest selection of loose-leaf tea served alongside traditional
accompaniments like petite pastries and finger sandwiches. In the
evening, guests at 3940 will enjoy craft cocktails, wine and beer
complemented by signature small plates featuring organic,
sustainable and locally sourced ingredients. The space will feature
mid-century modern furniture, plush sofas, communal seating
and an inviting marble fireplace. Inspired by the shaded area of a
sun-drenched desert, the ceiling will boast a
unique lighting feature that illuminates the space with a
patterned glow.
- Urban Kitchen, Classic
Comforts. Located just steps from the Delano lobby, a new culinary destination will
blend natural design elements with industrial materials to exude a
warm, comfortable simplicity that quietly entices guests to savor
each bite and treasure every encounter. Creating an essence of
"historic farmhouse meets urban kitchen," this new outpost, whose
name will be shared in the coming months, will serve breakfast and
lunch with an elegant combination of classics, comfort food and
seasonal specialties centered around fresh, locally sourced
ingredients.
- Cocktails and Conversation. An eclectic lounge with a
sophisticated vibe, Franklin will feature nightly
entertainment including special live performances and sounds from
up-and-coming DJs in an intimate environment perfect for
socializing. Craft cocktails will complement small plates such as
flatbreads, hand-selected cheese and charcuterie. The lounge will
incorporate gold lighting accents, deep shades of blue and bronze
hues with navy sheers that drape from the ceiling and sparkle with
glistening lights to create the illusion of fireflies in the
evening sky.
Top Floor Dining & Lounge by Alain Ducasse
- View From Above. Situated on the 64th floor of Delano Las
Vegas and boasting extraordinary views of the Las Vegas
Strip, Rivea will serve French and Italian cuisine
from internationally celebrated chef Alain Ducasse. Inspired by the many years
Ducasse spent visiting the delectable food markets of Italy and Provence, Rivea will
feature the flavors and colors of the Riviera in a smart,
vibrant and casual setting. The lounge adjacent to Rivea,
with its stunning panoramic views of the city visible from intimate
indoor nooks and an expansive outdoor patio, also will take on
a new personality. Taking over the space that is
currently miX, Rivea and the new lounge are
expected to open winter 2014-2015.
Guest Suites
- A Moment to Savor. Paying homage to Delano Las Vegas'
surroundings, artwork throughout the guestroom corridors will
depict classic desert roadside scenes, while deep blue and gray
tones will create a hushed and mysterious aura. In contrast, the
bright and airy atmosphere of the suites will make the entrance a
moment for guests to savor.
- Thoughtful Luxury. Featuring a clean color palette of
whites and neutrals, the suites will incorporate Delano's iconic window sheers, crisp white
linens and oversized tufted headboards, updated with playful gold
accents. Anchored by a gray geometric print carpet, each room will
showcase an array of rich textures and fabrics. Drawing inspiration
from South Beach, photography of seductive underwater scenes will
adorn the walls while floor-to-ceiling windows will provide
sweeping views of the Las Vegas
skyline.
- Modern Touches. Boasting one of the highest standard
room square footages of any hotel in the city (725 square feet),
each one-bedroom suite will feature a private bedroom with
contemporary light-wood armoire, bold lighting fixtures and a
spacious spa-style bath. With a 46" flat-screen TV, wet bar, desk
and its own powder room, the adjoining living room will
offer a plush retreat that doubles as an entertaining area or
impromptu meeting space.
Pool and Spa
- Under The Sun. Delano Las Vegas will feature its own
private pool just steps from the sand and surf of Mandalay Bay
Beach and wave pool. Embracing the laid-back South Beach lifestyle,
Delano Beach Club will offer guests an exclusive locale to relax in
the sun and is scheduled to open in 2015.
- A Rejuvenating Escape. With the opening of Delano Las
Vegas, BATHHOUSE Spa will introduce several signature
services including the Double the Pleasure Massage, performed in
synchronicity by two massage therapists. BATHHOUSE also will debut
a new collection of Global Journeys that will guide guests through
a series of exquisite treatments reflecting traditional rituals
from regions around the world including India, Asia,
Europe and a "Taste From the
Islands."
Delano Las Vegas is a partnership between MGM Resorts
International and Morgans Hotel Group and will come to life in
place of THEhotel at Mandalay Bay. Design teams from both companies
collaborated to create the vision for all venues and suites. The
teams were led by Joyen Vakil, senior vice president of design and
development for MGM Resorts International and Verena Haller, senior vice president of design
for Morgans Hotel Group.
The transformation of Delano Las Vegas began
earlier this month with the opening scheduled for September 2014. The debut of the boutique hotel
will mark the culmination of Mandalay Bay's property-wide
evolution, which includes collaborations with brands such as Cirque
du Soleil, The Light Group and Four Seasons in addition to Morgans
Hotel Group.
