The Cavalier Hotel is a Classic Up-Graded Art Deco Hotel located on the world famous Ocean Drive, overlooking the beach. The Cavalier Hotel is very popular with the Fashion Industry and is frequently featured in photo shoots due to its beautiful facade. The hotel was originally built in 1936 and reopened in 1992. To keep the hotel fresh and exciting, the hotel recently underwent a soft refurbishment that includes a redecorated lobby with brand new furniture, freshly painted hallways and guest rooms, and rich batik bedspreads and cool accessories in all of the rooms.

The Cavalier on Ocean Drive has been touted as a deco beauty. Originally built in 1936, the 45 room property was reopened in 1992 with a fresh new style. Offering a unique blend of African hues in a tropical setting guests are sure to find a peaceful oasis only seconds from the bustling jungle of South Beach night life. All rooms include antique and reproduction furniture, working desks and terra cotta tiled flooring. Bold fabrics embrace the African theme, while the display of inroom photography captures the history of fashion South Beach is well known for. The hotel offers 2 production/ wardrobe rooms which can be combined for meetings of up to 30 people.

Stayed in early January 2009. Can't beat the location if you like the Art Deco district on South Beach. There was a mixup, but we were compensated. We reserved a suite with a kind bed and a couch for three people, but only had a king room with no couch -- a desk, chairs, etc., but no extra room or couch. But they realized their error when we showed them our printed out confirmation page (don't leave home without it!) and gave us another king room on the same floor even though it was a college football bowl game weekend when all the hotels were packed. No sweat. Right across the street from the beach, restaurant downstairs and gazillions more down the street. You will hear clinking of dishes for breakfast if you want to sleep in, but for the prices of the rooms here, you'd be hard pressed to find a better bargain on Ocean Drive. Would recommend this place to almost anyone on a budget.
Will never stay there again!!

Mediocre
When first arrived they gave me a room one first floor with a view of a wall and a generator from the building next door, disappointed with the room I went to go ask for another and the girl at the desk gave me another on 3rd floor. Needless to say...

I recently visited the Cavalier Hotel...
I didnt have an issue with anything. The staff were very helpful and EXTREMELY polite. Housekeeping made sure your bed is fresh and our room was spotless everytime we came back in. I was there for 3 nights and 4 days. The beach is right across the street and you are located in the middle of everything. I only wished they had carpet.. But even though they didnt I would stay there again. The FOOD was DELICIOUS!!!

Me and my girlfriend stayed at the cavalier through april 30 - may 7. It looks very deceivinig fromthe outside but we stayed in a suite and it was very cozy and nice. for those who had bad reviews must have stayed in a regular room. For a hotel like this , you have to stay in a suite to get the maximum benefit of the hotel. The staff was cordial and very accomodating. Our suite loked like an apartment. But hey for those who didnt like it, you get what you p ay for.

I recently went to South Beach over Memorial Day Weekend and booked my stay through Orbitz. I have never posted reviews of hotels but the Cavalier is so bad that I am compelled to do so.
First, the photos posted on the web does not looking anything like the hotel. It is run down, old, and musty. So old that even my towel had holes in it and my sheets looked dingy. Second, the walls are paper thin so every sound made by your neighbor can be heard! Third, the staff is unfriendly and not at all helpful. There was nothing positive that I can say about our experience. Please don't waste your hard earned money here!

Fantastic value - right on Ocean Drive! <2 minute walk to the beach, restaurants and shops.
Clean/simple hotel. Rooms were small and basic, but perfectly acceptable. Few amenities, but how much time do you spend in your room when you're in South Beach?
There is a bar/restaurant in the lobby (as there is in most South Beach hotels) which was convenient for quick meals/drinks.
Quick check-in/check-out process, friendly employees/guests, no complaints at all.
For the price, I can't imagine a better deal in South Beach
I am somewhat likely
to return to the Cavalier Hotel on Ocean Drive.
I would definitely recommend it to friends.
Couldn't wait to leave the Cavalier Hotel

Horrible
We stayed before a cruise. The guest rooms are not air conditioned. A large bug or spider fell off the wall or ceiling during the night and woke my daughter up as it bit her 2-3 times in the left temple area. We left the lights on for the rest of...
