We walked here while waiting for our other hotel room to be ready. Enjoyed a great lunch. The service was a little slow but it was well worth it. Nice atmosphere. The Nachos DID NOT disappoint at all, amazing flavor! I had the fish entree of the day. The broccoli is unchained and amazing. Fish was well flavored and grilled and the rice was easily a full bowl full.

The Clevelander is one of the most legendary spots on Ocean Drive. It’s not just a hotel — it’s a full South Beach experience with music, energy, and nonstop people-watching right in the heart of Miami Beach. The outdoor pool deck and bar area create a day-to-night party atmosphere, and the location is unbeatable — directly across from Lummus Park and the beach. You can literally step outside and walk straight to the sand. During the day it’s a great place to grab a drink and watch the beach crowd, and at night the entire area lights up with music, DJs, and the electric nightlife that made South Beach famous. If you want the true Ocean Drive vibe — music, palm trees, neon lights, and the ocean breeze all in one place — the Clevelander is one of the most iconic stops in Miami Beach. — Chris Raborg The Cyborg Project

This is a party hotel. Pls enjoy the pool and music videos day and all night. Haha. No sleep quietly is a given, but this is a hotel where we have to have fun. Just across Ocean Dr is Miami's white beaches as far as the eye can see. Whether we are traveling alone or with a group, lets go to party and have fun.

From the moment we arrived it was fantastic. Michelle at the front desk got our room available immediately and helped us with everything. We stayed on the top floor oceanfront. The room was immaculate and the housekeeping was done everyday while we were out on the beach. The bar gets noisy at night but it didn’t affect our sleep.

The lady at the front desk- Michelle was amazing. She was very kind, professional and very helpful, unlike other hotels in Miami. Location of the hotel is perfect ,right in front of the ocean and plus the staff being so helpful and kind made our stay worth it. Definitely would recommend coming here and would come back!

We loved our week long stay at the Clevelander. It was in a perfect location, and the staff was absolutely incredible! The rooms were clean and comfortable, the music at the bar was so much fun and everyone who works there was so helpful (especially Michelle and Godfrey). We would definitely come back!!

Michelle and all of the staff were excellent. We were greeted with a smile everyday. The welcome drinks were great! I went there to celebrate my birthday and it was the best choice for location, entertainment, and price. It is within walking distance from the beach and surrounded by other great restaurants. The hotel has an amazing DJ that provides great music every night to ensure you will have a good time. The rooms are small but were very clean. I would recommend this hotel to anyone celebrating a birthday or just wanting a fun weekend away!

Every time I walk into this place Renata is super welcoming and energetic. We come for the food and drinks. The food has never disappointed us and the drinks are even better. Would definitely recommend 10/10. The manager victor is amazing also. He’s always checking on the guest, meanwhile running the operation smoothly.
