Focus on design
The new Delano Dubai in Bluewaters Dubai was developed by Dubai Holding, with interiors handled by ELASTIC in collaboration with Ennismore’s inhouse design team.
The 251-key hotel is set on the shores of Bluewaters Dubai and features a bar, restaurant, wellness studio, gym and pool.
ELASTIC was entrusted with the interior design of the hotel’s suites, as well as the soft
refurbishment of the typical guestrooms.
In addition, the ELASTIC Interior Design team, led by Partner and Creative Director of the ELASTIC Toronto-based branch, Enrique Mangalindan, designed the public areas, including the arrival entry drop-off, the pool areas & pool bar and F&B venues: the Amalfi Coast-inspired restaurant concept Tutto Passa and the Rose Bar.
The indoor public areas, such as the reception, lobby and corridors, were also
designed by ELASTIC.
Ria Vogiatzi Xenou, ELASTIC’s founder and CEO, said the firm’s goal was to “merge the timelessness of Delano’s design language with the dynamic energy of Dubai.”
ELASTIC worked alongside several other designers to bring the Delano Dubai concept to life, including SA Consultants for the Garden Suites, The Store and gym, YDesign and Paris Society for the Blue Door Restaurant, La Bottega Interiors for the penthouse suite, RIKAS Group for Gohan and La Cantine Beach and HWH Studio for the wellness studio. Archtube was also brought on board as a lighting consultant.
Waterfront location

The resort itself is set on 250 metres of private beachfront and overlooks the Arabian Gulf and Dubai skyline, only a short distance from the Dubai Marina and Palm Jumeirah.
