Chain: Leading Hotels of the World
The Setai, a member of the Leading Hotels of the World, is all about staying in style. This sophisticated, serene and seductive resort hotel reflects the highest standards of design and service. While The Setai was designed to complement the famed South Beach art deco ambiance on the outside, there is no resemblance to it on the inside as it has maintained its origin as the 1930s Dempsey Vanderbilt Hotel. As soon as you enter the lobby, it is immediately apparent that this is a private oasis for the most discerning guests. Asian themes of simplicity and elegance predominate with lots of soft neutrals, teakwood, bronzed columns and soft lighting. Three sparkling heated pools and a private stretch of beach allow guests to enjoy the pleasures of the sun, sea and sand away from hoards of tourists. When you decide to venture beyond this cloistered paradise, The Setai is in the center of South Beach’s hip nightlife and designer boutiques.
Does HotelsByCity recommend this hotel?
Guests agree that The Setai is a unique, one-of-a-kind hotel. If lush, luxurious and lavish is your style, you may never want to leave. That said, all this luxury comes with a high price tag. If you are traveling on a budget, one night at The Setai will wreck your travel budget. Previous guest tip: Zen-like quiet is often disrupted in rooms near elevators. Read our customer reviews?
Building on the Asian ambiance of the lobby and public areas, The Setai’s 75 guestrooms and 50 suites are havens of peace and pleasure. Standard rooms, located in the original low-rise hotel, average 600 sq ft and are filled with opulent touches like an espresso maker, a flat-screen plasma television and a Bose surround sound CD/DVD system. Aromatherapy candles, fresh flowers, a bowl of shiny apples and decadent chocolates add more pampering touches. Baths are extravagant private enclaves with black granite floors, whirlpool tubs, glass-enclosed rain showers and a selection of luxury bath products. Need more space? One, two, three and four bedroom suites with panoramic views are located in the adjacent 40-story ultra-luxury condo. And, when money is no object, you may want to splurge with a stay in the 10,000 sq ft two-level penthouse with a private rooftop pool.
In addition to the myriad of amenities in guestrooms, The Setai is like an opulent treasure chest of delights. A variety of restaurants combine the finest foods served with finesse and flair. At The Restaurant, guests may choose to dine al fresco amid quiet ponds and pergolas or inside in view of the sensational exhibition kitchen. The Champagne, Crustacean and Caviar Bar offers a decadent selection of the best caviars, oysters and pates and an extensive selection of fine champagnes. There’s also casual dining at The Grill, The Bar & Courtyard, poolside or beachside in a private beach daybed. The Spa at the Satai is a haven of sheer bliss and includes a fitness center, Yoga and Tai Chi sessions. Spa treatments are also available in the privacy of your guestroom. For the jet set, private plane and yacht charters can be arranged.
