1020 Ocean Drive, Miami Beach, FL 33139
📌 Key Details:
Right on Ocean Drive, the Clevelander isn’t here to whisper — it’s here to shout. It has carved out a reputation as one of South Beach’s go‑to spots if you want to feel Miami: jets of speakers, a pool patio that doubles as a social club, and a sports bar that plays every game you care about (and some you don’t). Rooms are on the compact side, often overlooking the patio or the Atlantic, and they reflect that same energetic spirit — blackout curtains and fresh linens notwithstanding. Dining and drinks lean casual: think loaded burgers, wings, and cocktails loud enough to drown out any regret about last night’s tequila choices.
This place has been part of the Miami Beach story for decades, evolving from a classic Ocean Drive Art Deco property into the pulsing social magnet it is today. The Clevelander has been known as a rally point for locals, visitors, athletes, and DJs alike — a nexus where daytime beach culture collides head‑on with high‑energy nightlife. Its pool patio isn’t just a pool; it’s often the scene of parties that bleed into the night, and its bars have seen everything from game‑day cheering to spontaneous dance‑offs. The property even gets nods in popular culture, with some observers suggesting its chaotic charm inspired parts of Grand Theft Auto 6’s Miami‑esque world.
“The pool? Absolutely disgusting — filthy and tiny, nothing like the photos. This place felt like a bait‑and‑switch. I booked expecting a comfortable experience, but got stuck in a dump with no accountability. Save your money and stay far away."
