Miami's Iconic Gem - The Setai 

Take a trip to Miami, America’s park beach city where culture thrives, and discover The Setai, Miami’s iconic gem, the intimate, oceanfront hotel that emanates serenity and chic, sumptuous style.  A meticulously replicated Art-Deco landmark, The Setai is a proud emblem of the movement’s resurgence, showcasing grey antique bricks from old Art-Deco buildings in Shanghai on the lobby floor, black granite baths in the luxurious suites, sleek Asian-infused interiors and a geometric exterior. Upon entering the hotel, guests can marvel at the patent Asian influence that is behind the aesthetic and minimalist design, such as in the lobby, which is bedecked with brick, bronze and teak, and complemented by orange accents.  Adjacent from the main hotel building is a forty-four suite, forty-storey regal glass tower, where awe-inspiring architecture continues to preside. Surpassing all around it in elevation with spectacular skyline vistas, the 10,000 square feet penthouse has its own lap pool and recording studio.

Sophisticated Swimming at The Setai

Swimming at The Setai is state-of-the-art. Three infinity swimming pools of varying temperatures grace the property, and their layout is cleverly designed so that the pool closest to the beach is the warmest, heated at ninety-five degrees Fahrenheit. The coolest temperature of the pools is a bracing seventy-five degrees Fahrenheit, which is conducive to lap swimming.  Superlative attention is provided around the pools, with towel, water and magazine service, along with waiter service from the pool bar. The technological-focused features extend even to the pools, which are complete with underwater speakers and USB connection capabilities for swimmers to plug in their phones or iPods.

Dining at the Setai – A Fusion of Cultures

The Setai Grill

This restaurant embodies a fusion of cultures with its ‘East meets West’ interpretation towards food and has a cosmopolitan feel thanks to its team of international culinarians. The provenance of fare is extremely important to chefs at the Setai, demonstrated by the cuts of dry-aged beef at this eatery, which are sourced from one of the finest meat purveyors in the country, Pat La Frieda and Son of New York. Rise to gourmet heights with small dishes and light bites that are inspired by the freshest and most seasonal Asia-Pacific flavours and specialty main dishes include ocean-fresh Miso Black Cod baked in a hoba leaf and slow cooked Pork Belly.

The Restaurant

The Restaurant invites guests to sample small, tapas-style European-inspired plates. Flavours typically originate from Europe’s ‘Sun Coast’, including Spain, Italy and Provence. The Restaurant utilizes the classic Spanish cooking technique of grilling ‘a la planche’, i.e. pan fried or cooked on a griddle, which is beneficial for fortifying and extracting the versatility of flavours and aromas. A sommelier is on hand to help pair artfully-selected wines with guests’ meals.

The Pool and Beach Bar

At the Pool and Beach Bar, lunch can be enjoyed with balmy and refreshing ocean breezes. Light snacks such as salads, ceviches and fresh sea food comprise the menu, along with more filling meals such as pizzas cooked adeptly on a Brick Oven. Alcoholic treats include a fine selection of wines, rosés and champagne.

Spa by Thémaé

The Thémaé Spa is an innovative and a re-imagined experience, where storied traditions are transported from the Pacific to the South Beach of Miami. Inspired by the fascinating art of tea, the spa utilizes soothing red tea, regenerating white tea, antioxidant green tea and stimulating black tea in treatments. Thémaé is a Paris-based spa and cosmetics brand, authentically named after the traditional Japanese tea preparation ceremony.  In the four spacious spa suites, each of which has a private bath and steam room, guests can achieve a balanced state of being with treatments such as the Stress Relief Singapore Massage, the Thai Style Foot Reflexology and the signature two-hour long Setai Ceremony.
