Miami's South Beach is synonymous with excitement and energy, making it the perfect counterpoint for The Setai, a luxury hotel known for its grace and serenity.
EXPERIENCE
One would not usually be inclined to describe Miami's hot spots as serene. Unless, of course, the spot in question is The Setai, an intimate oceanfront resort situated in the heart of South Beach, where its design blends the rich architectural history of the neighborhood with its cultural diversity. Interestingly, the Art Deco landmark building was originally built between 1936 and 1938, when it was known as the famed Dempsey Vanderbilt Hotel. A 40-story glass tower now stands next to it.
Authentic jade pieces that were discovered in the antique markets of China are displayed within the guest rooms and suites - examples of the property's Asian influences. A relaxed meal at The Grill or a more formal dinner at The Restaurant aims to please. The Setai's consistently innovative food, exceptional wine, excellent service, and colorful surroundings reflect Miami's vibrant energy year-round, while the goal of its Spa is restoration and realignment of the body and spirit.
