Bearing the unmistakable imprint of legendary hotelier Adrian Zecha, The Setai is an intimate oceanfront resort in the heart of South Beach. Set amid tropical gardens and sparkling pools at the edge of the Atlantic Ocean, The Setai introduces the Asian traditions of simplicity and elegance to South Beach.
The Setai Residences, a 40-story glass tower that is one of the tallest buildings in the South Beach skyline, The Setai is a meticulously replicated eight-story Art Deco landmark. Originally built between 1936-1938 as the famed Dempsey Vanderbilt Hotel, The Setai recreates the style and charm of the city's fabled past. Tying in with this illustrious Miami Beach era, The Setai also incorporates highlights from Shanghai?s Art Deco period with a grand lobby decorated in Shanghai brick, bronze as well as rich teak, imported stone and exquisite Asian art and artifacts.
Soft silhouettes, crisp clean lines, exhilarating surroundings and simple understated elegance capture the ambiance of The Setai accommodations. With sumptuous baths clad in absolute black granite, striking teak, granite flooring and fine silk fabrics, rooms at The Setai have been designed to create a tranquil Asian mood. In-room tubs for personal spa treatments, 'rainfall' showers with Acqua di Parma bath accessories and comfortable daybed seating are among the other unique touches.
