The Pelican Hotel Miami Beach is a nice boutique hotel in a pretty Art Deco building on iconic Ocean Drive. Its location is perfect, unbeatable, and right in the heart of South Beach and on the water, ideal for soaking up the atmosphere. The hotel offers nice, clean rooms, with some described as large and huge, though others note they can be a little bit small. Rooms at the PH level are considered better for a small price difference. Some guests reported issues with centrally controlled air conditioning and occasional poor cleaning, but found the staff to be incredibly friendly, welcoming, attentive, and genuinely nice, always trying to make stays memorable. The service at the bar is very good and exceptional. A popular perk includes two huge complimentary drinks per day. The hotel features a restaurant and terrace for a quick lunch, with its Italian food receiving outstanding praise as truly authentic, absolutely outstanding, and some of the best. Other amenities include a good breakfast, free snacks and coffee in the room, and a rooftop to chill out with a drink. The hotel is highly recommended, with some guests calling it the best they have ever been to in Florida, citing great vibes, fantastic hospitality, and a cool, unique interior design vibe.
My friend Roberto Galati is always talking about this place. I haven't been there yet but I'll definetly use the suite when I have the chance. The points are five.

We went to the restaurant and I recommended 1000 times the food, the service, the ambulance. Thanks Giovanni (the manager) and Santo the waiter for such an amazing experience.
