Hi. I am hoping to decorate my wedding reception based on the interior
of the Delano hotel in South Beach.  I need pictures of the hotel's
interior -- specifically, the lobby.  I have found some pictures on
Ian Schrager's website but am having difficulty finding others. 
Thanks for the help!

Hi Christmas and thank you for your question.
 
Here is the Delano Hotel Photo Gallery but all these pictures are
duplicates of the ones that are on  the Ian Schrager website.

I believe this picture isn’t included at the Ian Schrager website:

Here are a few pictures taken at the Hotel by a young couple.

Here are a few descriptions of the Hotel that may interest you as
well:


“From the moment visitors enter the oceanfront Delano's all-white
entry and lobby, they will know this is a special place. Distinctive
features include massive white columns, billowy sheers that hang from
the ceiling and form separate lobby alcoves, and an "eat-in" kitchen,
where guests simply pull up a stool to a long marble table and choose
their fare. The luxurious 15-story hotel offers an Art Deco flavor
with a New York flair.”
http://www.miami-hotels-discounts.com/hotel-information/miami/delano-hotel/


“Much has been written about the hotel's eccentrically minimalist
look, courtesy of French designer Philippe Starck. Schrager and Starck
totally renovated the hotel in 1995, except for the original 1947
exterior, which by law had to be preserved. (..) Instead of adhering
to the white-and-pastel look of many a tropical resort; the
high-ceilinged lobby is elegantly paneled in rich, dark wood. Like the
rest of the hotel, the lobby features some Alice in Wonderland
touches: a towering and out-of-scale banquette, a fur-covered divan, a
surrealist chair by Salvador Dalì. Massive columns and a series of
billowing white curtains (a motif repeated throughout) set off
successive areas, extending through the building past the hotel's main
restaurant, the Blue Door, and out to the back patio, forming the apse
to this secular church of chic.”

“Philippe Starck-designed the high-ceilinged lobby, where filmy white
curtains sigh in the ever-present breeze, leads slowly past
hypermodern, overstuffed furniture (high-backed twisted chairs, a
furry ottoman, a Dali chair)”

your wedding reception!

I will like to suggest another hotel, also in Miami Beach, and I love
they decoration. Check out the Astor Hotel Miami Beach at
http://www.hotelastor.com/index.html I am sure you will find some
inspiration in the design. They have quite a few pictures.

Good luck for your wedding and your mariage.
