Delano Miami Beach is a renowned luxury hotel set to re-open its doors in early 2026 following an extensive renovation and redevelopment led by Ennismore in partnership with Cain International. This iconic hotel will blend historic charm with contemporary luxury, creating an unparalleled hospitality experience that honors the original visionary concept while introducing modern enhancements. With 171 exquisitely designed rooms and a variety of distinctive food and beverage venues, Delano Miami Beach aims to re-establish itself as a flagship destination in luxury lifestyle hospitality. One of the unique features of this reimagined property includes the preservation of its famous walk-in pool alongside the unveiling of a new amenity deck pool offering stunning ocean views that elevate the guest's relaxation and leisure experience.

This role extends beyond mere culinary skills—it requires leadership, teamwork, and exceptional communication as the Sushi Cook oversees the sushi station, coordinates with other kitchen staff, and interacts with front-of-house teams to ensure timely and flawless service.
