Some suites offer ocean views and separate sitting areas.

Family-focused reviews and ratings
Loved the unique room designs and helpful staff, but the noisy elevator was a bit of an issue.
The Pelican is a perfect South Beach experience! The staff was wonderful, the location unbeatable, and the complimentary drinks were a bonus!
Excellent staff, great location, and a fun, themed room! Breakfast and happy hour drinks were a nice bonus.
Great location, amazing breakfast, and lovely decor! The prices were a bit high, but you're in Miami, so that's to be expected.
This hotel is fantastic! The location, staff, and unique theming made for a truly nice experience.
