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

Not only does Pelican not pay adequate wages to its workers, who are largely immigrants. I takes portions of their tips from them. I confronted management about an issue and they were so callous and cruel. One manager said, "Look, you know what you're getting when you come to a place like this." He also told me that if I... more

I have always wanted to stay at the Pelican as I do love a bit of Diesel style so when we were planning our honeymoon I put my foot down and said 'this my dear is the place for us'. We ended up, however, staying four nights in the Delano as it had a pool and two at the Pelican... more

We stayed in the Deco(cktail) room for 3 nights and just loved this hotel. The previous reviewer is absolutely correct about the shower, it is amazing. Our room had absolutely no view at all, but it did not matter, as most of the time we were out and about. The restaurant here was great - we ate there for lunch,... more

What a place - Diesel owned, so you can expect good styling. Definitely worth shelling out a little extra (twice the price of standard room) for the suites, as these are very spacious areas with fantastic views over the beaches. I think those previous reviews having slated the hotel are from people who have not paid for the suite. Indeed,... more

Just spent 4 days at the Pelican. We are a couple in our 50's; we travelled with our 80 year old mom and our 20 year old son. The service from the front desk to the restaurant was warm, friendly and accomodating and we all were glad that we chose this hotel. They provided personal care from showing our mom... more

This is Ocen Drive and consequently there is noise until late on. However that is why you go to South Beach. We had a great time here for 3 nights in the zebra suite, which has Four large windows overlooking Ocen Drive's comings and goings. The suite was very impressive and stylishly furnished. The breakfast and dinner here are very... more

We stayed here for four nights as part of our honeymoon, staying in the Exexutive Zebra Suite. We chose the Suite from the pictures on the website, and it lived up to our expectations. The bedroom was large, spacious, overlooking Ocean Drive, with two bathrooms, and a separate sitting room. The staff were very friendly throughout, and the food in... more

The shower is fantastic, like standing under a waterfall with an abundance of water. Staff is very nice but rooms are not very comfortable and views in mine was limited to the next building 6 feet away. i suspect that this is the case with most of the rooms. The restaurant is OK, nothing more, but breakfast on the terrace... more
