Ennismore will introduce the first Maison Delano in Asia with Maison Delano Seoul slated to open in 2026.
Situated in the heart of South Korea’s capital in the Gangnam district, Maison Delano Seoul will boast 81 guest rooms and 52 branded residences, with F&B establishments, members’ club, garden courtyard, spa, gym, as well as an indoor and outdoor infinity rooftop pool overlooking the tree canopy of Gangnam Park.
As a reinterpretation of the traditional Korean Pavilion, the hotel will resemble a park with the building cocooned in trees and greenery to create a connection with nature.
Chadi Farhat, brand COO for Delano & Head of Middle East & Asia Pacific at Ennismore, said: “Maison Delano is making its way to Asia to cater to a growing number of modern travellers who seek a sophisticated getaway and elevated experiences with creative energy like no others.
“We are incredibly excited to bring the Delano brand to Seoul, and curate a unique experience for guests in a city which is so rich in culture.”
Delano launched in Miami in 1995, and has since been recognised as the hotel for travellers looking for a bespoke experience.
The first Maison Delano is due to open in Paris in March.
She joined Marriott in 1996 and held the title of senior vice president & chief counsel, Asia Pacific, prior to stepping down in 2020. In that role, she managed a large legal team across seven offices in Asia that was responsible for more than 700 hotels in the region, and was actively involved in all aspects of the business.
