About
Pelican Hotel
Pelican Hotel sits on Ocean Drive in Miami Beach, placing you in the middle of South Beach's Art Deco scene. The beach is directly across the road, and the area is packed with shops, cafes, and nightlife. The hotel's on-site restaurant, A Fish Called Avalon, serves lunch and dinner, and there's a bar with happy hour.
Rooms are individually styled with a quirky, playful edge—think parquet floors, bold colors, and unusual layouts. Most rooms include a king bed (some have twin or double options), air conditioning, and heating. Beach access is a highlight, with umbrellas, sun loungers, and towels provided.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Prime location on Ocean Drive — Directly opposite the beach and surrounded by shops, cafes, and nightlife, making it easy to explore South Beach on foot.
- Lively on-site dining and bar — The restaurant A Fish Called Avalon and the bar with happy hour earn consistent praise for food and drinks.
- Friendly, personal service — Guests highlight staff who remember names, help with security issues, and make stays feel welcome.
- Beach amenities included — Towels, chairs, and umbrellas are provided for a day on the sand without extra hassle.
–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Rooms can feel basic for the price — Cleanliness and room quality score lower than other aspects, and some guests find the quirky decor not to their taste.
- Check-in window is limited — Check-in runs from 4 PM to 11:59 PM, so late arrivals need to plan ahead.
- Breakfast may not be included — While breakfast is praised, guests advise confirming whether it's part of your rate to avoid surprise costs.
- Noise and crowds on Ocean Drive — The central location means constant activity outside, which may carry into the rooms.

8.6Verified guest“Set in the Art Deco district with great shops and dining. Right opposite the beach. The front desk team was welcoming and helpful, and I loved the quirky room. The view was just a building wall, but I was only passing through for a night, so it didn't matter. Far better than an airport hotel.”
8.6Verified guest“Beach towels and chairs are included, the location is perfect, and the restaurant, though pricey, was excellent.”
