I stayed here with my GF for 2 nights. It was her first time in South Beach. This is such a unique and beautiful hotel. From the elevator to the hallways to the front desk, everything is a work of art and tasteful. Speaking of tasteful, not everyone will enjoy the individually decorated rooms, we did not like the first... more

Took my boyfriend here for his birthday. We BOTH loved the hotel. The staff is ExCellent, very helpful, smiles all the time, let us check out at 2 instead of 12. Very unique, different hotel comparing to all the hotels in the world. Makes it soo much fun. The free umbrellas and chairs are GreAT, instead of spending $30 a... more

This is a gem of a hotel with a location right on Ocean Drive. The staff were exellent and the food was amazing. Kitchen stayed open until 2 am , bar until 5. Great individual room , each with a different theme, I will return!! more

We picked the Pelican Hotel due to its quirky rooms and individual look, right on Ocean Drive on South Beach. First impressions were not good - South Beach is traffic chaos, there's nowhere to park and we had our car keys snatched off us by the valet immediately and then had valet parking added instantly to our bill.

I've stayed here twice now and cannot recommend it highly enough. The rooms are quirky and cool and very comfortable and the whole hotel smells really lovely. The staff are very helpful and the free sunloungers and umbrella on the beach make a difference to daily expenditure (normally costs about $32 per day for 2 beds and an umbrella on... more

We stayed at the Pelican for 3 nights over July 4th weekend and had a brilliant time. We had requested the Viva Las Vegas room when booking and on arrival we're not disappointed by the loud decor. Its in a great location - opposite the beach and on a buzzing part of ocean drive. You're only a short strol away... more

I spent about an hour researching Miami Beach hotels before settling on the Pelican Hotel due to its intriguing mix of rooms. We booked a three-night weekend stay in the hopes of having a fun, positive experience in Miami Beach. Unfortunately, both my girlfriend and I left with a terrible overall experience of the hotel which unfortunately took away from... more

Good service, comfortable rooms, and over-the-top kitsch - this hotel does a very good job for the price. Good, practical travel amenities in rooms, such as a safe large enough for a laptop and Aveda products and cotton balls in the bathroom. Marvelous shower. Just two negatives - and neither is a reason not to stay here ... First -... more

I did a lot of research on unique South Beach hotels that were in the heart of the action. However, I had some specific requirements - reasonable price (for South Beach), quiet and clean (for South Beach) , and reasonable parking (for South Beach). The Pelican is a boutique hotel; each room is decorated with a different theme. We stayed... more
