Concierge "The hotel attracts European families, fashion types, and even Prince Faisal of Saudi Arabia, who is said to be partial to Penthouse One."
Insight Guides "Here you will find wackily decorated themed rooms such as "Me Tarzan, You Vain" and "Executive Zebra"."
Fodor's "Each awesome room of this Ocean Drive boutique hotel is completely different, fashioned from a mix of antique and garage-sale furnishings." Full review
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

Frommer's "New York hipster Jonathan Morr felt that Miami Beach had lost touch with the bons vivants who gave the city its original cachet, so he decided to take matters into his own hands." Full review
Concierge "The 67 minimalist rooms may be small, but they've been impeccably designed by India Mahdavi with comfy white beds and chocolate-colored sofas."
Lonely Planet "You’d think the Townhouse was designed by the guy who styled the iPod." Full review
OysterMid-Range
"Located right on the beach, the Townhouse offers bright, stylish rooms, but little else." Full review
DK Eyewitness "A shabby chic hotel that is more chic than shabby, the Townhouse is quirky with exercise equipment in the hallways, free L-shaped couches for guests, and clean, simple decor."
Rough Guide Star
"From the small but beautifully designed white rooms to the chatty, cheerful staff and the relaxing roof deck filled with cushy chaise loungers, this boutique hotel aims to please."
Time Out "This small boutique hotel is a first-rate knock-off. It was opened in 2000 by Jonathan Morr, and the Starck-Schrager influence is obvious." Full review
Gayot "The upscale beach house decor by New York interior designer India Mahdavi emphasizes modern white furnishings accented by striking red decor... and signature curvy couches."
BlackBook "In the boutique division of hotels, handy to the lavish Shore Club, is the very modern and very red-and-white Townhouse."

"A laid-back retreat outfitted in stark white with pops of red." Full review
