About Cadet Hotel

Cadet Hotel is a 4-star boutique property set in a 1940s Art Deco building that once housed WWII U.S.

Air Force cadets and, according to local lore, film star Clark Gable. Rooms carry vintage decor, high-thread-count sheets, minibars and work areas, with suites adding flat-screen TVs and iPod docks.

The Clark Gable suite features a claw-foot bathtub. Guests gather in a lush garden courtyard around a jacuzzi, at the on-site Salon du Cafe for coffee and breakfast, or around the lobby's grand piano, which hosts occasional live jazz evenings.

The hotel sits about a 4-minute walk from the water and roughly 8 minutes from the Miami Beach Convention Center, with Collins Avenue, Lincoln Road, and Ocean Drive all within easy walking distance. Complimentary beach towels and a beach chair and umbrella voucher are provided at check-in.

It's a quiet, historic home base for travelers who want South Beach's energy close by without staying directly on the strip.

What People Love

Location: Guests repeatedly highlight the short walk to the beach, Lincoln Road, Collins Avenue, and the Miami Beach Convention Center, calling it one of the hotel's biggest strengths.
Service: Many visitors describe the front desk team as warm, attentive, and multilingual, often going out of their way to help with requests and parking.
Design & Decor: Guests enjoy the Art Deco style, the garden courtyard with its jacuzzi, and the lobby's grand piano, which sometimes hosts live jazz evenings.
Breakfast & Cafe: The on-site Salon du Cafe draws praise for its garden setting, coffee, and breakfast items like avocado toast, though some guests find it pricey.

Know Before You Go

  • On-site parking is very limited; nearby lots or the Miami Beach Convention Center garage run about $20-80 per day.
  • Check-in includes complimentary beach towels and a voucher for a reserved beach chair and umbrella.
  • Book direct for the Salon du Cafe courtyard dining, as it is a popular spot for breakfast and lunch.
  • The property is a historic building with no elevator mentioned by some guests, so ask about stairs if mobility is a concern.
