MIAMI BEACH, Fla.—The white curtains in the lobby at Delano South Beach signal that there’s something special about this place.

Billowing down from cathedral ceilings, they flit in the breeze flowing through the long, narrow corridor, revealing glimpses of avant-garde furniture and cozy nooks for discreet people-watching. Semi-sheer and seemingly weightless, they transport guests from the harsh gaudiness of South Beach into a dreamier world.
