Long famous for its 800 buildings designed in the distinctive architectural style of the 1930s, the historic Art Deco District in South Beach encompasses one square mile of Miami Beach. In that stretch of land lie fascinating boutique-style hotels, most of which have been restored to their original beauty and pastel splendor.
The district has received world-wide recognition, including a listing in the National Register of Historic Places, with starring hotels such as Hotel Astor, The Indian Creek Hotel, Island Outpost hotels, Miami Beach Ocean Resort, The National Hotel, and the ultra-magnificent Delano. Dressing up all 25 of its rooms and suites, the Pelican uniquely offers a different theme to fit each style - "Big Bamboo," "Love, Peace and Leafforest," and "Power Flower," just to name a few.
Aside from the fact that South Beach attracts a growing number of visitors each year - everyone from starving artists to wealthy socialites - it is also a well-known hot spot for gay and lesbian travel. Among the many gay/lesbian-friendly properties in the area are The Albion Hotel, Best Western South Beach, Jefferson House, and the Shelly Hotel. Just off Collins Avenue, The Ritz Plaza Hotel has a GayEscape package, including ocean view accommodations, copies of local gay publications, nightclub admission with drink coupons and dinners for two.
The Art Deco Welcome Center introduces visitors to the historic district, by providing literature as well as walking tours which depart the center Saturday and Wednesday at 10:30 a.m., Thursday at 6:30 p.m. or by special requests for large groups. A gift shop is also available.
