The Setai Miami Beach

Live your dream at the Setai Hotel Miami Beach

In the heart of Miami Beach, where the rhythmic echoes of live jazz serenade the balmy ocean breeze, lies a stunning beacon of Asian-inspired elegance and sophistication – the Setai Miami Beach. From its prime location on the bustling Collins Avenue at 20th St to the opulent decor that is a tangible echo of renowned hotelier Adrian Zecha’s influence, the Setai stands as a testament to the allure of the East meeting the vibrant energy of the West.
On any given Sunday, the wafting sounds of a jazz brunch tempt the discerning traveler, as the hotel presents an exquisite array of gastronomical delights. Among these, a particular favorite is the Pad Thai, crafted with an artist’s precision by the hotel’s executive chef. This Asian-inspired dish, as tantalizing as the strains of the Sunday jazz that floats above, is a symphony of flavors, both simple and sublime. Try also the Peking duck.

Here, the United States merges seamlessly with a tapestry of international cultures, a melting pot that is both welcoming and intriguing. One can catch an incoming flight at the nearby Miami International Airport and, within minutes of a transfer, find themselves sipping a Bloody Mary at the Setai’s ocean grill, with spectacular ocean views unfolding like a panorama, framed by the art deco charm of the original Dempsey Vanderbilt Hotel building.

The building, with its classic eight-story Art Deco building, dates back to the first golden age of Miami Beach. Now it houses a part of the Setai – the more modest studio suites, though ‘modest’ might be an overstatement in this environment of understated luxury. The Setai’s exteriors pay tribute to the city’s Art Deco legacy, while the interiors reflect a different aesthetic, one more akin to a serene Indonesian sanctuary than the vibrancy typically associated with South Beach.

At the Setai Miami Beach, you are connected to the world through a robust Wi-Fi network, while being surrounded by a unique combination of styles. A bottle of Roederer champagne is always on ice, ready to celebrate the captivating blend of the past, present, and future that the hotel represents. From its origin as an Art Deco classic to its transformation into a stylish, Asian-inspired sanctuary, the Setai Miami Beach ensures an unforgettable stay.

I am completely satisfied with staying in this hotel, the location for Miami Beach- is great. The Setai Miami has beach access and owns part of the beach and the service of Setai guys on the beach is also nice. The breakfast is expensive, but it is excellent- you have everything you want and even more:) During the whole Sunday, they have a jazz band with live music and a singer.

– Sarah, Melbourne

The room was excellent but most importantly the staff was. They were well-trained and very helpful. Veronica at the Concierge was just brilliant and she helped us on our holiday as this was our first trip to Miami
