Hotel Review: The Setai Miami Beach
When a person thinks of Miami, they probably conjure images of wild parties, music, and libations that flow from day to night. A hotel can either cater to the carousing crowd or provide a respite from the revelry. Somehow, the Setai manages both without compromise.
During the day, the Setai provides a calm, tranquil oasis. Designed by Jean-Michel Gathy, who also created the aesthetic for Aman’s Amanwana resort in Indonesia, the Chedi Muscat in Oman, One & Only Reethi Rah villas, and more, the hotel blends Miami’s famous Art Deco with Eastern influence. The tall, open ceilings of the lobby create a sense of grandeur, which are tempered by dark mahogany panels that entrance guests with their warmth.
The Pool is central to most Miami vacations, and the Setai excels. Before stepping foot into one of their three pools of varying temperatures (75, 85, and 90 degrees), you stroll through a lush, tree-lined walkway, with water-filled enclaves jetting off behind stone walls, perfect for meditation or sending a quick work email en route to the sun. You won’t choose the Setai for loud music or day parties — it attracts a more relaxed crowd that wants to lounge by the water surrounded by palm trees, privacy, and great service.
At night, however, the main restaurant morphs from an airy and mist-filled open space to a sexy, swanky, red-lit venue to see and be seen, with only a handful of tables surrounding the prominent water display in the center of the room. Its two bars – one in the lobby and one in the back of the dining space – become a nucleus for high end Miami nightlife, spilling out into the sea of restaurant goers. Their other “Ocean Grill” restaurant is the liaison between Setai’s private pool and beach offers more of a Palm Beach ambiance, with white table cloths and a calmer, breezy atmosphere.
The room itself is spacious, complete with a foyer, desk area, closet, bathtub, and large couch. All incorporate the same Eastern aesthetic that transmutes the Miami experience from rowdy to relaxing, providing a grounding touchpoint for the trip. Oranges are displayed under glass throughout the property like the enchanted rose from Beauty and the Beast, a seemingly mystic nod to Florida’s unique offerings. Even the experience in the elevator is entrancing, with intricately designed metal coating the interior.
As a member of The Leading Hotels of the World, repeat Forbes Travel Guide Five Star award winner, and “#1 Hotel Resort in Greater Miami Beach” according to Travel + Leisure in 2018 and 2019, the Setai is well-regarded for the caliber of its ambiance, which contrasts dramatically from the typical Miami party hotel. If you are looking for quality, relaxation, and aesthetic, don’t hesitate to choose the Setai. A tropical oasis awaits. If you are looking for a rager, choose elsewhere.
