The Setai
The Setai’s Zen-like serenity is a refreshing contrast to other art deco hotels on the South Beach stretch.
This Asian inspired boutique hotel comprises the original 1930’s Jack Dempsey Vanderbilt Hotel and an imposing oceanfront tower housing a total of 131 studios and suites, including a penthouse. Studio suites are situated in the historic art deco building with views across Collins Avenue or the tranquil courtyard. The distinctive Asian décor is complemented with silk drapes, teak flooring and paneling set with authentic jade accents. Sleeping areas feature a handmade dux king-size bed dressed with fine linens and comforters, while the lavish bathroom offers a black granite bathtub and rainfall shower. The 40-storey oceanfront tower houses a collection of one or two bedroom suites with partial ocean views while the palatial style speciality suites boast sweeping panoramic ocean vistas from each private balcony. Each speciality suite hosts its own unique theme based on spa, entertainment or media with a myriad of modern amenities including a fully equipped kitchen with dining area, a lounge, and Jacuzzi.
Refined dining options include authentic Asian cuisine, Mediterranean inspired fare, a speciality grill and a champagne and caviar bar.
The exceptional spa offers pure indulgence packages inspired by many traditional Asian therapies. Further repose can be sought from the hotels three superb pools situated in the beautiful landscaped gardens. Each pool is heated to a different temperature and just steps away from the white sands of South Beach. Day beds are scattered around each of the pools and on the beach with a selection of magazines and iPod libraries offered by attentive staff.
