- Maison Delano Paris marks the arrival in Europe of the brand born in Miami, under the aegis of Ennismore (Accor group). Opening in 2024, in the heart of the 8th arrondissement.
- A private mansion redesigned by designer Lázaro Rosa-Violán, blending a subdued Parisian spirit with a nod to Art Deco.
- The highlight: tables by Dani García, a triple Michelin-starred Spanish chef, and a hidden garden, rare in this district.
- Our rating: 7/10. A beautiful lifestyle address, driven by its dining, but whose hotel is still fully seeking its identity given the prices.
Long-awaited, Maison Delano Paris has entered the capital’s hotel scene. The first European incarnation of a brand that became cult in Miami in the 1990s, it promises chic French lifestyle. We pushed open the door of this discreet private mansion in the 8th to see if the promise was kept. Here is our full review.
Maison Delano, the return of an icon
The name Delano resonates as a legend of hotel design. In Miami, the address conceived in the 1990s had imposed a theatrical and minimalist style that became a reference. For its first steps in Europe, the brand chose Paris and entrusted the project to Ennismore, Accor group’s lifestyle division. The result: a « house » rather than a grand hotel, nestled a stone’s throw from the Madeleine, between rue Saint-Honoré and Place de la Concorde. The location, in the heart of Paris’s luxury triangle, is an undeniable asset.

A private mansion by Lázaro Rosa-Violán
The decoration was entrusted to the Barcelona designer Lázaro Rosa-Violán, renowned for his cinematic interiors. Here, he plays the card of a dreamed Paris: noble materials, Art Deco curves, subdued lighting, and meticulous details. The ensemble is elegant, hushed, resolutely photogenic. We like this private club atmosphere, even if the very dark choice for some spaces is divisive. Maison Delano cultivates intimacy more than ostentation, in contrast to neighboring palaces.
Rooms and suites: the subdued cocoon of the 8th
With a deliberately reduced capacity, Maison Delano plays the card of a confidential address. The rooms, dressed in warm tones and refined textiles, offer true comfort and appreciable soundproofing for a city-center hotel. The most beautiful categories overlook the inner garden. We sometimes regret the just volumes in the first categories given the prices charged, which are in the Parisian luxury segment.
Dani García’s table, the true star of the house
This is undoubtedly the address’s greatest asset. The dining has been entrusted to Dani García, a triple Michelin-starred Andalusian chef, who creates sunny cuisine blending Spanish and French influences. The culinary experience, from breakfast to dinner, is unanimously praised and attracts beyond just hotel guests. The cocktail bar extends the experience in a subdued atmosphere. Here, gastronomy clearly elevates the whole.
A secret garden in the heart of the golden triangle
Another pleasant surprise: Maison Delano houses an interior garden, a rare commodity in this ultra-dense district. This green interlude, popular on sunny days, offers a haven of calm a few meters from the hustle and bustle of rue Saint-Honoré. It is one of the most successful spaces of the house, and a strong argument against the competition from palaces in the area, often lacking outdoor space.
What guests say
The first online reviews paint a consistent picture with our feeling. Travelers praise the location, the design, and especially the dining, regularly cited as the highlight of the stay. The service, young and attentive, receives good feedback. Reservations mainly concern the value for money and the size of some entry-level rooms. An overall warm welcome, for a still young house that is refining its positioning.
Our opinion · why 7/10
Maison Delano Paris is a beautiful lifestyle success, driven by a prime location, a masterful design, a rare garden, and especially Dani García’s table, which alone justifies the detour. If we don’t go higher than a 7/10, it’s because the hotel, as such, is still fully seeking its identity in the face of high prices and formidable competition in the 8th. The dining sometimes outshines the accommodation experience. An address we recommend, particularly for its cuisine, and one we will follow closely as it finds its footing.
