Pelican Hotel - A historic Art Deco boutique hotel with Italian dining and ocean views in South Beach

Located in the heart of Miami Beach's Art Deco Historic District, this 1948-built property showcases designer Renzo Rosso's distinctive vision. The Pelican Hotel features individually decorated rooms with handcrafted wood floors, upscale bathroom amenities, large TVs, and minibars. The Pelican Cafe, recognized by Wine Spectator for five consecutive years, serves Italian-influenced international cuisine with a seafood focus, offering both indoor dining and an alfresco street-front terrace. Guests receive complimentary drinks during early evening hours and have access to a new fitness center. The Miami Beach hotel sits directly across from Lummus Park Beach and stands just one block from Collins Avenue's shopping district. A gift shop provides souvenirs, while the beachfront location enables easy access to volleyball courts and a paved promenade for cycling and jogging.

Pros

Free evening drinks during designated hours and special events

Award-winning wine list at the on-site restaurant

Prime beachfront setting with direct access to Lummus Park

Eco-conscious initiatives throughout the property

Cons

Dimmed hallway lighting contrasts sharply with bright exterior

32-minute walk to Bass Museum

“The art deco design roots the hotel firmly in Miami Beach's identity, while the attentive staff and Italian-influenced dining provide a welcome personal touch. Its Ocean Drive location puts the area's energy at the doorstep, so it's easy to slip into the city's rhythm. I think it manages to balance its prime location with a sense of considered, individual style.”
