Pelican Hotel  

In the heart of Miami Beach, steps from Lummus Park Beach and a short walk to the Art Deco Welcome Center. This beachfront boutique hotel sits minutes from the Art Deco Museum and The Wolfsonian, and about 1.7 miles from Lincoln Road Mall. Family-friendly services include babysitting/childcare on request.

Twenty-nine individually decorated boutique rooms deliver an Art Deco vibe with playful, quirky touches. Rooms come with flat-screen or 52-inch plasma TVs, iPod docking, mini-fridges/minibars, A/C and laptop-compatible safes. Bathrooms feature designer toiletries and the Pelican showerheads offer a strong, steady rain-like flow.

Rent bikes, work with the concierge, or browse the on-site gift shop/newsstand. The hotel offers wedding services and a banquet hall, a massage room, diving-club access, parking, and room service during limited hours. Continental breakfast is available for a fee and complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected—wake up to sea-breeze mornings on the beach.

A business center, conference space and meeting/presentation rooms make this a solid choice for small events. There’s a computer station on-site and complimentary wireless internet throughout. Limo/town-car service is available for executive transfers.
