Delano is taking bookings for its first UK hotel, with stays available from 21 December 2026 at the former Baglioni Hotel London on Hyde Park Gate. The property will begin welcoming guests in December, ahead of an official opening planned for early 2027.
The Miami Beach hotel brand, owned by Ennismore, is bringing its name to 60 Hyde Park Gate, overlooking Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park. The opening adds another international operator to an established concentration of luxury hotels around the park, where Delano will join names including the Lanesborough, the Peninsula London, the Dorchester and the Chancery Rosewood.
The hotel’s booking information lists initial opening rates from £495 per night. That is a starting price rather than a fixed rate for every stay, and both prices and opening dates remain subject to change. For guests considering a December visit, the distinction between the first bookable stays and the formal opening is important.
A new use for Hyde Park Gate
The London property will have 67 rooms and suites, with suites accounting for more than half of the accommodation. Of the total, 14 will have Hyde Park views. The setting is central to the hotel’s identity, placing the Delano brand beside the green spaces of Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park rather than introducing it to a new hotel district.
Its arrival is also a change of brand and design for an existing hotel address. The building previously housed Baglioni Hotel London and has been redesigned by Archer Humphryes Architects. Delano is therefore entering the London market through the reuse of an established property, not through a newly announced site elsewhere in the capital.
The balance of rooms and suites gives a clearer picture of the accommodation than the overall room count alone. With more than half designated as suites, these will form the majority of the hotel’s inventory. Park views, however, will be available in only part of the property, rather than being a feature of every room.
Inside, an art collection curated by London-based Cramer & Bell will accompany the architectural redesign. Alongside the new interiors, the collection forms part of the changes that will distinguish the Delano property from the hotel that previously occupied the address.
Restaurant, bar and spa
The opening will include the UK debut of Portuguese restaurant Lana Lusa. It will sit alongside a London version of Delano’s Rose Bar, bringing both a new restaurant name and an established element of the hotel brand to the Hyde Park Gate property.
The plans also include the Rose Bar Lounge and Zodiac Room, as well as The Source by Delano spa. Together, the dining, bar and spa spaces show that the project extends beyond the rooms and suites, with several named venues forming part of the London opening.
For London diners, Lana Lusa’s arrival is a distinct part of the development: the hotel will mark the restaurant’s entry into the UK. For Delano, the combination of Rose Bar and The Source by Delano provides a connection between its London property and the wider brand.
A competitive park-side address
Hyde Park’s surroundings already contain a closely grouped luxury hotel market. The Lanesborough, the Peninsula London, the Dorchester and the Chancery Rosewood give the new arrival an established set of competitors, making the address both a recognisable setting for visitors and a competitive place for a brand making its UK debut.
The opening also comes at a time when the capital’s hotel pipeline is under close scrutiny. Delano’s plans add a specific opening date and bookable accommodation to that picture, while the reuse of the former Baglioni property distinguishes this project from a hotel built at a new address.
The next milestone is the December launch, with bookings currently available for stays from 21 December 2026. The official opening is due in early 2027. Until then, prospective guests have a starting rate and a planned arrival date to work with, but should treat both as subject to change.
