hotel made for the gods, the Delano can please the pickiest of guests. The Grecian-inspired hotel just shouts world-class with its palatial lobby pillars, long white curtain drapes, stunning orchards and urban chic cool. Boasting America’s first indoor/outdoor lobby, the hotel creates an interwoven ‘village’ from within. Guests can sip on their cocktails along the river-long poolside or take a quick tan at the stunning private beach where blue water, hot sand and palm trees can be found. –A.C
