The Cavalier is a quirky, fun hotel in the art deco district. It’s near the quieter end, so it’s perfect for adults, they provide beach access and free chairs, the restaurant is great- a mix of American and Italian. The employees are nice, Philip checked us in and Lester was our wonderful bar tender and server and had our drinks waiting! We should be back in six months for our bi annual girls trip! The rooms are quirky and cute and really loved the stylized feel with the older touches they preserved! Room was super clean, breakfast cost less than Starbucks and was so much better! Loved the original elevator- a must try- and just the whole vibe! This is old Miami at its best!

Excellent location, staff is awesome, beds are comfy. Rooms are small but nice. Only complaint was no hot water!! Took freezing cold showers after the beach. Not fun. But they give you towels for the beach and free beach chairs at the beach which is amazing! If you need an umbrella you pay $20 extra for one from Esteban’s Beach Club. And Pura Vida restaurant is super close to the beach for the best food around.

An iconic and beautiful hotel with timeless Art Deco charm. William and Alexander were wonderfully welcoming and made our stay especially enjoyable. We had lunch at the restaurant one afternoon, and the lobster ravioli was outstanding. The location in the Ocean drive is perfect, not too close to the noise, but yet in the center of the action, and very close to the beach.

Lets be clear, you stay here for the location and the art deco building. Amenities are just OK. Staff is friendly but rooms are dated. Sofa bed for my 2 daughters was broken (room 301). No common area (lounge to seat down and relax), it is all restaurant. So this is one of those “been there donde that” kind of places. Next time either a B&B or a large chain hotel.

If you find your room is near an elevator just trust me and leave. The elevator was in use all hours of the night and it sounded like someone was whipping our wall at all hours (203). This AM the elevator service repair man was there running it constantly (we left by 9:20 so it was early). When we actually got on the elevator the day of our arrival it would go up and down a few inches and fail to unlock the gate when it stopped on our floor, so I understand the repair/maintenance check. When we were preparing to leave the mechanic wouldn't get off the elevator in order for us to get on with our luggage so 2 of the 4 of us had to take the stairs with large luggage to check out. This is an old hotel, the rooms are tiny and you will hear everything going on above you its charming but I have learned my lesson on the older hotels on the beach. It sounded as though furniture was being moved around all morning above us (wood flooring and tile). I would never stay here again especially for the fee we paid $286. I would have paid $200 more for our party of 4 to sleep. Also the web states there is Valet, but you have to park in a lot around the block $20/night.

This was my 2nd stay at this hotel - 1st time was 7 years ago in 2019. And as before, the cleanliness, prime location across the beach, 24 hour reception, welcoming staff, and reasonable walking distance to various eateries/shopping areas make this hotel an excellent value. It is a comfortable and clean hotel which serves its purpose of being a reputable hotel for safekeeping your belongings and where to spend your nights sleeping well when not out and about exploring all that Miami has to offer. Highly recommended and a solid go-to when in town and looking for a place to stay.

Main road in front of hotel was closed. When we arrived, the concierge had no idea where to tell us to park.
If they were transparent about it, ok. I would be ok. Then they said they are out of the 'free' wine, but could charge me $8 for a Heineken. Then couldn't get the elevator to work (we were on the 2nd floor thank God)
The room was in good shape. The parking is what set off the chain for me. It's not hard to update a website. Or at least tell your staff what to say. Ended up parking in the City parking garage. I'd give it like a 75/100.

We had a great stay at the Cavalier Hotel. The interior of the hotel is beautiful. They also have a bar area as well as breakfast, lunch, and dinner options for dine-in or take-out. The beach is only a few steps away! The hotel provided beach towels as well.

Our room was clean and beds were comfortable. The bathroom doesn't have a proper door that locks. It's only a sliding door, which we found difficult for privacy.

All the staff we met were also very friendly and helpful.

The only note for anyone looking to stay at this property is that the hotel itself doesn't have any parking. There is a Municipal Parking Garage right around the corner from the hotel. We found it very convenient to park there (including overnight parking). It's open 24 hours, clean, has stairs and elevators to get to the street.

The location is on a 'quiet' South Beach block directly across from the beach. Easy walking distance to many restaurants and shops. Bus and trolley public transportation within two blocks. The beach chairs/towels were a nice amenity, but there really were not any other notable 'special' amenities. While the property was very clean, the antiquated elevator (from the 1930s?) to the upper floors was broken about 80% of our stay, we were assigned to a room that had a noisy rodent in the air vent that they REFUSED to respond and remove, and the restaurant food was bland and billing charged an automatic 20% gratuity without legible warning. The lobby staff were very detached and standoffish, never greeted with friendly smile.

The hotel was very well located near 13th street. It was also lined in either side with “art deco” style hotels which made for scenic walks in the vicinity. Conveniently close to beaches and a restaurant on service at all hours. One minor quibble is the fish room spaces and not always reliable elevator. But on the upside the staff went out of their way to accommodate a problem we experienced.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel right on Ocean Drive in South Beach. The location is unbeatable—just steps from the beach and in the heart of all the action. The customer service was attentive and friendly, always ready to help with a smile. The on-site restaurant was a pleasant surprise—great food, good vibes, and drinks.

This was a classic art deco buildings with plenty of character. The location and the staff was the best part. Age of building aside some issues I had were the need for more mirrors, barn door for the bathroom (pocket door might be better), there was only a rainfall shower head which freezes you when you turn the shower on, due to shower surround. Other than that pleasant enough. Good option for a short stay and South Beach experience.

First and foremost, I usually don’t complain about hotels because I know there’s usually something that is gonna go wrong or may not be perfectly clean etc. I always bring my own cleaning wipes etc. Upon arrival I was expecting valet because it’s listed as such on Expedia but the host said it’s not recommended and advised to use parking garage. Slight inconvenience but ok. Got into room, very stuffy and refrigerator not working to put drinks in. I had cooler thankfully but was ready to hit beach so turned air down expecting to be cooler when getting back. Lights so dim around nook in refrigerator to make sure was plugged but couldn’t see anything so just got aggravated and left it. Long story short most miserable sleeping conditions ever because so hot never got cool. Loud noise, white noise couldn’t even drown out all the people talking and laughing. Another advertisement of soundproof rooms that’s def false. Got up in middle night and had to get fan. Upon checkout voiced all complaints and was told oh sorry we were having AC problems yesterday. Def should have been made aware of this upon CHECK-IN not check-out. Only compensation was the 40 dollar resort fee that we didn’t use anyway. I wouldn’t be making this negative room if the hotel did better making this right.
