The Setai South Beach

The Setai is an intimate, serene oceanfront resort in the heart of South Beach.

Its design vision artfully combines the rich architectural history of the neighborhood and its cultural diversity with the International Art Deco movement, particularly its influence in Asia. Infused with natural materials, space and light, The Setai bears the unmistakable imprint of legendary hotelier Adrian Zecha.

The Art Deco landmark building was originally built between 1936 – 1938 as the famed Dempsey Vanderbilt Hotel. Next to it is our 40-story glass tower that surpasses all around it in elevation, views and design.

Dining
Choose from The Restaurant, The Grill and the Pool & Beach Bar. The Restaurant offers exceptional Asian-inspired fare and an award-winning wine list. The Grill’s more relaxed atmosphere delivers simple good fare that’s simply delicious. Our 90-foot-long poolside bar offers a quintessentially South Beach atmosphere to enjoy cool beverages and Mediterranean-style dishes.

Drinks
Our courtyard celebrates the elements. Guests enjoy a drink alfresco, or inside where our renowned house cocktails reflect the beauty of the mother-of-pearl encrusted bar.

Mind and Body
Our exclusive world-class spa offers innovative treatments to relax and rejuvenate. For guests who prefer more private treatments, we are able to arrange in-room spa appointments. Our fitness center has the latest equipment and our trained staff can arrange for personal training, yoga or Pilates sessions.

Pools
Each of our three pools is maintained at a different temperature, so our guests may select the water that’s most comfortable. Food and beverage service is also available poolside.

Accomodations
The Setai comprises two buildings, different yet built on the same foundations of superlative service and exceptional design.

The impeccable details of each guest room are exemplified by authentic jade pieces that were discovered in the antique markets of China and displayed to perfection on teak walls. Spacious. Stunning. Serene. The Setai awaits.

Our Art Deco building is an exquisitely refurbished property that celebrates its history while embracing Asian influences. Step into your suite in The Tower and experience a melding of space and vision. The beauty of the area becomes your backdrop as view-drenched windows surround you with a feast of color and horizon.
