What guests think

Pelican Hotel earns consistent praise for its Ocean Drive location across from the beach, distinctive Art Deco rooms, and especially warm, attentive staff, while recurring drawbacks include very firm mattresses, occasional noise from the street or elevator, and pricey parking.

Many guests praise the on-site restaurant and bars, plus perks like a complimentary drink and included beach chairs, though umbrellas cost extra and some find food and drink prices high. Accommodation quality is generally high, but some rooms are small, and a few report maintenance or amenity gaps such as no in-room coffee, intermittent TV, and inconsistent water temperature. Expect a stylish, lively South Beach stay with standout service and a few trade-offs.

I had not been to Miami Beach in 20 years and loved my stay at the Pelican. EVERYBODY employed by the hotel was awesome. I didn’t get all the names, but I’ll share a few: Julio - awesome bartender. Maria - checked me in and was super-helpful throughout my stay. Japheth - great dinner service. Paolo - made sure breakfast, lunch, dinner, and the overall dining experience was phenomenal. Amenities: dine onsite for a 20% discount late nite. Happy hour is cool with a free drink. Free beach chairs across the street is fantastic. When I go back, I will only go back to see my friends at Pelican.

I should have done my homework regarding no gym, pool, microwave, convenient parking, and other amenities. Anyone interested in the property also should be aware that it is a small and older building, the elevator repeatedly fails, valet parking can take up to 30 min to get your car, it is noisy as HELL outside the property, and management services are disorganized.

Ok, so its a retro hotel on beachfront and that's it. upon check in a $300 hold is placed on your card, valet parking is $43.00 dollars. The bed was hard as a rock and we spent a sleepless night, it was a painful experience. The refrigerator did not work...UGG! this is supposed to be fun not annoying. Then at check out there was a $38.00 resort fee!! We asked for what and they said " amenities". What amenities? No pool, no gym, no bikes, WHAT AMENITIES?? We felt it was a total rip off, so you decide how to spend your hard earned vacation funds!!!!

The elevator makes a very loud bing-di-bing noise every time the door opens. I can be heard in every room, and as it's Miami Beach, that can go on all night. We have chosen not to stay as the only room they had was next to that elevator, and were told that we wouldn't be charged. They have charged us anyway for the full reservation of several days and have not refunded us despite their repeated assurance to do so. They are not even responding to our emails. Very unprofessional and immature management, I would stay away from this place.

Ideal location on Ocean Drive in Miami Beach. Steps away from the ocean and tons of restaurants and shops. The rooms are small but sufficient. You don’t stay on Ocean Drive to spend a lot of time in your hotel room anyway! And if you did want a night in to watch a movie, it is plenty comfortable for that. Very clean.

From the moment we walked in the door, we were welcomed by everyone. Cleanliness was great, rooms were kept well. I love that each room has its own theme and decor. We can’t wait to stay again to see what some of the other rooms look like. We always had fresh towels and never had to ask for a thing.

The staff were very friendly and the cocktails very potent ! The small outside dining area served good breakfast and dinners and was great for people watching. The only downside was that because of the exciting location and outlook it was a bit noisy at night, but in our view a price worth paying.

Front desk was very friendly, location is awesome. The room is comfy, but very basic. No table or desk in the room and the chair was just for looks, you couldn’t sit in it. My biggest issue was the water temp was so inconsistent! It would be burning hot then cold and you had to keep turning the knobs. The water pressure was terrible. Overall though the location beats everything and a bonus the bed was actually really comfy.

We had a wonderful stay at The Pelican hotel. The staff were exceptional, with a special mention to Chris at the front desk for his outstanding service. The food and drinks were fantastic. Despite the hotel's location on the main strip, it felt quiet and peaceful. The rooms are not entirely soundproof, but it wasn't a major issue. A heads up for beach-goers: resort fees do not cover umbrella rentals. Don't forget to take advantage of the complimentary drinks offered during your stay. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would definitely return.

Front desk representatives such as Lorenze and the man who checked me out early Sunday(I didn't catch his name) were so helpful with suggestions and my Uber pickup. The breakfast I had was great and the amenities such as beach towels, chairs, and a beverage fridge that was restocked daily were such a nice bonus. For my first trip to Miami, I think that the Pelican hotel was the perfect choice and I would return for a future visit.

This place has truly change. We have been visiting since 2015 and over the years, this last stay is it. The staff speak very little English. Our plane was delayed and we missed a night of stay, we had to pay the resort fee for the day we missed. It was my husband 50th birthday, I sent messages like we been doing for years. Over the years we have been treated with extra perks ( updated room, or bottle of champagne, or complimentary drink of our choice). Restaurant/Hotel down from them even gave a complimentary birthday drink, while we dine. This time nothing. We spent an additional $440 on food latte and drinks. They even charged us for to go coffee as we departed and it was $14.

We stayed 2 nights in the suite Lust in space. The place is gorgeous and smells so good! The staff made us feel like VIPs. Everything is super clean. We had supper at their restaurant, the food was delicious, a bit on the expensive side but you pay for quality. We also ordered breakfast in the room. Again, quality, portion, taste and presentation were impecable. I would definitely recommand this hotel. The only down side, and it really is not the fault of the hotel, we were there during spring break. We arrived in the evening and the streets surrounding were blocked and A LOT of party people were roaming the streets. We had to park 2 streets away where the valet was posted. Not easy to find, I had to call the hotel twice to find him. He took our car and we had to walk to the hotel with our luggage, about 10 min walk amidst the 'party'. There was a security agent controling the door when we arrived. We wanted to live the night life on miami beach but decided against it after seeing how ectic it was. We stayed in our room the rest of the evening after having supper. During the day after, outside was really good. There was still traces of the night before but the city was at it cleaning up. The hotel personal really did all they could to make us feel safe, they really had no control over what was going on outside. I would just watch out if you book during March (yes it goes on for a few weekends in March) unless it's the kind of action you are looking for.

Beautifully furnished small boutique hotel, has an upscale European vibe with a street front cafe, Italian cuisine, and bar. Our room was gorgeous. The extra rollaway bed brought in was super comfortable. Cafe staff were attentive, friendly and provided 5 star service. One front desk person had a bit of a condescending attitude. Valet car service was convenient and easy to use. Delicious meal at Oh Mexico nearby (get cinco leches for dessert!). Lots of security in the area, we felt safe here. Lots of people out walking, shopping, eating at night. We got day passes at another hotel since Pelican doesn’t have a pool. Public beach area across the street from the hotel was hectic. Hotel was a great base. More of an adult option.
