The rain is heavy and unforgiving in Miami in the months of May and June, so during our stormy long weekend, it felt good to get off Ocean Drive and take refuge at the Pelican - the first hotel I've ever referred to in my travels as "home." I am pretty picky -- to an obsessive-compulsive extent -- about places... more

I arrired at the pelican at appoximately 9 30, the room was available for check in. The holel is one of the nicest on the beach. Rooms are tastefully decorated. Each room is designed differintly. The room was well maintained and clean. The room was not very big but very comfortable. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I stayed... more

Spent 3 fantastic nights at The Pelican and could not have asked for more. No need to waste any extra cash on an ocean view room as all the rooms are unique and offer something special. Location could not be better and the staff are great, exceptionally helpful in planning excursions, recommending restaurants even put together a 2 day trip... more

Located right on Ocean Drive this hotel is in the prime location for the beach, shopping and nightlife. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. I have nothing negative to say except the rooms are a little small but we hardly stayed in the room so that was not a problem. Wouls definetely stay there again. more

The Pelican is fantastic, very stilish, location is excellent, great service, when you book a room included you have also the beach umbrella and beach chairs. The only negative rooms are quite small. Location is fantastic, in the middle of South Beach, you cross the road and you are on the beach. more

My boyfriend and I have just spent 5 nights at the PELICAN Hotel in Miami South Beach and we really enjoyed our stay. We would recommend this place to anyone searching for an original hotel (the rooms all have their own universe decorated with cosy vintage stuff) on Ocean Drive but also looking for a good service and quiet rooms.... more

Recently spent a night at The Pelican and wanted to share this info. Reservations were easily made on their website, and an email confirmation was sent a few days before arrival. The street the hotel is located on (Ocean Blvd) is VERY crowded, and if you're travelling by car, you MUST arrive on the South-facing side of the street (opposite... more

Really smart trendy hotel right in the middle of ocean drive. Great location to enjoy the sights and sounds of south beach. Two minute walk from the news cafe and the old versace mansion. Very modern looking building but still with that art deco twist. All rooms uniquely decorated, but a little on the small side. Not a great deal... more

A great thing about the Pelican is that you can have a detailed look at every single bedroom before even having checked in. You can try to guess which room you'll end up in, although trying to guarantee you'll be put in a specific room is a pointless exercise which is sure to end up in disappointment. A great thing... more
