About Cardozo South Beach

The Cardozo Hotel is an Art Deco boutique property that has stood on Ocean Drive since 1939, reimagined in 2019 under the ownership of Gloria and Emilio Estefan. The building blends its original 1930s character with remodeled rooms and suites, giving guests a historic Miami Beach setting with modern comforts.

The hotel sits directly across from the beach, putting the sand, the boardwalk, and South Beach's Art Deco streetscape within a short walk, along with a strip of restaurants and cafes nearby. On site, Call Me Cuban serves breakfast and dinner, the creation of the team behind James Beard Award-winning YUCA Miami.

Guests receive complimentary beach chairs, towels, and bicycles to make the most of the oceanfront location. Rooms range from queen and king layouts to courtyard-view options and penthouse suites, each with contemporary furnishings and tile or wood flooring.

The hotel also offers roughly 1,500 square feet of indoor and outdoor event space for small meetings. It works well for a beach getaway, a cruise stopover, or a stay centered on Ocean Drive's energy.
