Cavalier South Beach Hotel

I had difficulty finding Cavalier Hotel South Beach. The hotel is located on a part of Ocean Drive that is blocked off to vehicle traffic. My Uber had to let me out on the closest corner to the hotel. The hotel name is not easily noticed when you are on the sidewalk, looking up at the buildings. The hotel's restaurant Ocean Bistro is clearly identifiable but from the outside it looks like a restaurant. It is more helpful to know that you are staying at the Ocean Bistro than the Cavalier Hotel. The hotel itself was charming and had a lot of character. I would stay here again now that I know where it is located.

The staff was friendly, I was able to check in early and the restaurant was delicious. Best food in the area for sure ! Amazing location

My friend and I stayed in room 101. The loudest hotel experience we’ve ever had. The kitchen and lobby are directly next door. Banging dishes until 2am, could hear all guests in lobby plus the music playing. Was horrible. Room itself was clean. Location is right on the beach. Use parking garage off 13th. Nice complimentary breakfast.

The Cavalier is a really lovely boutique hotel located right on Ocean Drive in the heart of everything. For those looking to experience classic South Beach, it's a great choice. The property itself is very nice--entirely modern with most of the customary amenities of a high-end hotel, save a pool (but who needs a pool when the beach and the ocean are literally right across the street). It's really the service that sets the hotel apart, however. We arrived early from a cruise on a very busy Sunday morning but they got us into a room right away. Our room also included a light but very tasty breakfast each morning, which I got the sense was standard, as well as complimentary chairs on the beach. Bottom line: nothing in South Beach is "cheap," exactly, but some things are worth the price, at least relatively speaking. The Cavalier is one of those things.

Stepping into the Cavalier South Beach felt like stepping back in time to Miami's glamorous Art Deco heyday. Its pastel facade and curved lines oozed vintage character, instantly transporting me to a bygone era of flappers and cocktails. But stepping inside revealed a delightful surprise - the interiors seamlessly blended the old with the new, offering chic, contemporary comfort that felt anything but stuffy. Location, Location, Location: As if ripped straight from a postcard, the Cavalier sits smack dab on Ocean Drive, offering prime real estate for both beach bumming and people-watching. The iconic white sand stretched out right across the street, and the pulsing energy of South Beach was just a few steps away. Art Deco Delight: My room was a feast for the eyes, with geometric patterns, pops of color, and polished chrome accents. The balcony overlooking the vibrant street scene was the perfect spot to sip coffee and soak in the atmosphere. But fear not, modern travelers - the bathroom boasted a luxuriously spacious rain shower and plush towels, a welcome dose of modern decadence. Beachside Breezes & Bites: The Ocean Bistro on the patio was a highlight. Latin-infused seafood dishes mingled with classic American fare, all served under the shade of swaying palm trees. The ocean breeze provided the perfect soundtrack, and the staff's friendly smiles made every meal a delight. A touch of history: The hotel's heritage was subtly woven into the experience.

The room was comfortable and clean. There were plenty of bath products available in the room. Unfortunately, the hotel stairwell has a musty smell. Every morning you have a choice of five breakfast options which were all good. However, the public can dine there as well and gets a different menu. I felt like a second class customer when it came to breakfast service.

I had an excellent stay, clean hotel and staff were brilliant, especially the concierge - very helpful. Would definitely stay again!

This hotel is very charming and the rooms are comfy and clean. The only reason it didn't get a 4 star rating was because parking was very difficult.
