After a two-year renovation, the South Beach hotel is back and better than ever.
If you’re looking for a mega-chain hotel in Miami with multiple pools, grand marble lobbies, and enough neon signage to rival the Las Vegas Strip, you’ve got plenty of options. But a stylish boutique spot that’s both upscale and doesn’t take itself too seriously? Nearly impossible. That is, until Renzo Rosso reopened The Pelican Hotel in November 2022 after a two-year renovation. Now, picking a spot for your next getaway is a no-brainer.
Located in the heart of South Beach, the hotel was originally built in 1948 and purchased by Rosso — the founder of Italian fashion label Diesel — in 1990. In its newest iteration, each one of the 32 rooms is inspired by a variety of movie sets and features one-of-a-kind vintage artifacts and furniture. Depending on your booking, you may get the keys to anything from “Green Boo,” a nature-themed abode, to “Old Glory,” which recalls the earliest Diesel denim.
In addition to the cadre of tongue-in-cheek rooms, the ground floor boasts it’s own restaurant, Pelican Cafe. Led by Miami-based Italian chef Wendy Cacciatori, the restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner service with full menus for each . For those in search of a nightcap, there is also a full bar that is aesthetically pleasing and would not look out of place in a Wes Anderson film. Despite being just blocks from the bustling Collins Ave, consider the entire experience a Miami oasis.
We wanted to maintain and respect the original, eclectic identity of the Pelican Hotel, as it was created in the ‘90s. The concept was already there, the fact that every room had this unique second-hand feeling from the ’30s, ’40s, ’50s, ’60s, was amazing. During the redesign my son Andrea went to vintage markets and sourced more incredible pieces.
