Rough Guide Star
"Guestroom light switches at this imaginative hotspot turn on everything from the floral mirror by the vanity to the blue low-lights by the bed."
Star Service "An excellent choice indeed, aimed at design-deprived individuals and small groups in search of proximity to the action, excellent on-site dining (celebrity room service!), a cool rooftop pool." Full review

BlackBook "Dreamy blue interiors make for romantic rooms, complete with mood lighting for your personal desires."

Lonely Planet Top Choice
"When the owners of Diesel jeans purchased the Pelican in 1999, they started scouring garage sales for just the right ingredients to fuel a mad experiment." Full review

"Diesel jeans joined the hotel game with the Pelican boutique. The 32 unique rooms... are fun, but very worn." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Owned by Italian clothing company Diesel, the Pelican Hotel is an eclectic property in the midst of Ocean Drive’s bustling nightlife scene." Full review
DK Eyewitness "A self-described “toy hotel”, the Pelican is owned by the creative geniuses who own the Diesel brand."
Rough Guide "Irreverent Italian jeanswear company Diesel owns this hotel, so the quirky, campy decor of the rooms should come as no surprise."
Time Out "What do you get when you mix the Diesel fashion label with an art deco hotel? The most whimsical hotel in Miami." Full review
Star Service "Situated between Eighth and Ninth streets, in the heart of South Beach's whirling nightlife, this hotel is a landmark for clubbers and cavorters." Full review
