Hotel Pelikan is a 3-star hotel on the seafront of Lignano Sabbiadoro, just 30 metres from the beach, with a 24-hour reception.
The property is designed for families, couples and small groups looking for a beach stay without giving up practical comforts: the rooms, from single to quadruple, are all air conditioned and equipped with balcony, flat-screen TV, minibar and private bathroom with bidet, with some room types offering a direct sea view. The garden, the terrace and the common room with TV area provide shared spaces to relax, while the free bicycles make it easy to get around along the seafront.
On the ground floor there is an on-site restaurant, useful for those who don’t want to move too far from the beach, and breakfast is served in a continental and Italian version as a separate service. WiFi is free throughout the property, while guests arriving by car can use a private paid parking. The central location, right in the heart of Lignano Sabbiadoro, is among the aspects most appreciated by guests staying here, along with the quality of the food served on site.

Hotel Pelikan offers a wide range of rooms, from the single room designed for solo travellers to the quadruple suited to larger families, passing through double, twin and triple solutions with single or double beds configurable according to the group’s needs. All units are air conditioned and have a balcony, flat-screen TV with cable channels, minibar and private bathroom equipped with bidet and hairdryer, elements that guarantee a good level of comfort regardless of the room type chosen.
What mainly sets the different solutions apart is the size, which ranges from about 13 square metres for the single rooms to 25 for the deluxe triples and the largest family rooms, and the view: some rooms look directly onto the sea, others face the back of the property. The possibility of choosing between single or double beds in different configurations makes the spaces flexible for couples, friends or families with children.
The Single Room with Sea View is the most compact solution in the property, designed for solo travellers: about 13 sqm with a balcony overlooking the sea, air conditioning and a full private bathroom.
Larger than the single room, this Double/Twin Room with Balcony offers 15 sqm and the option to choose between a double bed or two single beds when booking, with a balcony and private bathroom.
The Triple Room with Balcony reaches 18 sqm and can accommodate up to 3 people, with a balcony, air conditioning and the choice between a double bed with an added single bed or three single beds.
Slightly larger than the Triple Room with Balcony, the Triple Room with Sea View offers 19 sqm with a sea view, a balcony and a single bed paired with a large double bed.
The Family Room with Shared Bathroom is the most spacious on offer, at 24.5 sqm, and can accommodate up to 4 people with beds configurable as a double bed plus singles or four separate single beds.
At 12.5 sqm, the Single Room with Balcony is designed for one guest and features a balcony, a flat-screen TV with cable channels and a private bathroom.
The Double Room with Balcony and Sea View offers 15.5 sqm for two people, with a large double bed, a panoramic balcony overlooking the sea and a private bathroom.
The Deluxe Triple Room with Sea View is the largest in the range at 25 sqm, and combines the sea view with a flexible choice between a double bed with two single beds or three separate single beds.
Hotel Pelikan is located right on the beachfront and provides guests with free bicycles to get around the Lignano Sabbiadoro seafront, as well as a garden, a terrace and a common room with a TV area for relaxing moments. The reception is staffed 24 hours a day and the property is also accessible to guests with disabilities, thanks to the lift connecting the upper floors.
For meals, there is an on-site restaurant with menus for special diets on request, a bar and a coffee shop service, as well as the option to order children’s meals or arrange a packed lunch. WiFi is free throughout the property, while parking is available nearby for a fee. Practical amenities include a safe, air conditioning, a smoke alarm and room access via magnetic key cards, as well as sun umbrellas and deck chairs to enjoy the beach.
Hotel Pelikan is located in the Sabbiadoro district, the historic heart of Lignano Sabbiadoro, along the famous Lungomare Trieste promenade that runs alongside the town’s main beach. The area is pedestrian-friendly and lively, dotted with restaurants, ice cream shops and stores, and is the most central and busy part of this Friulian seaside town.
The beach of Lignano Sabbiadoro is just 30 metres from the hotel, while the Red Lighthouse, one of the town’s landmarks, is about 800 metres away along the promenade. Parco Zoo Punta Verde can be reached in a few minutes by car, about 7 km away, as can the Unicef Adventure Park, slightly further away. For those arriving by air, Trieste-Ronchi dei Legionari Airport is about 27 km away, while Venice Marco Polo Airport is about 63 km away, convenient for those travelling from the Veneto region.
In summer, the location allows guests to enjoy the beach and the life of the promenade almost without moving, with bars and restaurants just steps away such as Il Gelatone and Roj’z, both only 50 metres from the hotel. For those seeking a bit of nature, the Lignano Pine Forest is less than 4 km away and offers shaded paths suitable for walking and cycling, an activity made easier by the free bicycle rental offered by the property. In the low season, the area becomes quieter, ideal for those who prefer a relaxed beach stay away from the peak months, while in high season the lively promenade remains the main draw of the surroundings.
