Morgans Hotel Group has always had an aptitude for containing worlds within its hotels. The Morgans team has collaborated with renowned rock-and-roll legend Lenny Kravitz to create a 1950s-style piano lounge at the Delano Hotel. With an interior subtly integrated with bronze mirrored ceilings, the Florida Room creates an atmosphere of pure grandeur, with a sophisticated alternative to the current South Beach nightlife scene. Kravitz, with a passion for the rich musical history of Miami Beach from the Beatles to Frank Sinatra, has envisioned the Delano Hotel to become a place of entertainment that hasn’t existed in Miami Beach for a very long time. Here, patrons can indulge in more than 30 handcrafted specialty cocktails like the Florida Room Punch, while relaxing in the modern day speakeasy lounge.
