Art Deco designer boutique
Situated right on Ocean Drive in the heart of the restored Art Deco district of Miami, the Pelican is just yards from South Beach and Lummus Park, in the heart of Miami’s party district. It is just one block from the designer shops of Collins Avenue and a short walk from the pedestrianized Lincoln Road with its bars and specialty shops. The Convention Centre and business district of Miami are conveniently close by.
The Pelican is a gorgeous gem of creative design. From the restored Art Deco features outside to the totally unique designer interior, the Pelican is a luxury hotel with attitude. Owned by Diesel Planet, the hotel has a popular bar with tables spilling out onto the terrace and sidewalk. There is a business centre, concierge services and valet parking which is essential in this popular neighborhood.
The 30 rooms, suites and penthouses are full of wacky one-off treasures, which make this boutique hotel stand out from the crowd. Each room has its own theme, from Best Whorehouse to Psychedelic Girl, complete with yellow and green wavy painted walls and gaudy closet doors. Choose your mood and prepare to be amazed! Rooms do have down-to-earth cable TV and WiFi internet connections. Guest rooms overlooking Ocean Drive may be noisy at night, through the original 1920’s paned glass windows, but it is worth it for the gorgeous palm tree-lined beach and ocean views. Take your complimentary chair and beach towel and head for the beach where the catwalk queens parade their perfect tans.
The service at the Pelican is legendary and staff can arrange everything from a massage to a private boat charter. Take a seat at the Pelican Café and try one of their legendary breakfasts noted by Giada De Laurentis as THE place for breakfast in South Beach. Chefs Pasquale Stallone and Rosario Corrao are famous for their evening menu of Mediterranean cuisine and outstanding wine list.
For something completely different, the Pelican offers an unrivalled experience as one of the most unique boutique hotels in Miami. For those who want a luxury hotel with an element of surprise, the Pelican will certainly take your breath away.
