About The Setai, Miami Beach

The Setai, Miami Beach is a Forbes Five-Star, AAA Five Diamond luxury resort occupying a landmark 1937 Art Deco building on Collins Avenue at 20th Street in South Beach. Designed by renowned architect Henry Hohauser and originally opened as the Dempsey-Vanderbilt hotel, the property pairs Asian-inspired minimalism with rich teak wood, authentic materials, and artful artifacts across its Art Deco and Ocean Suite categories.

Three distinct restaurants — Japón, Jaya, and Ocean Grill — anchor an exceptional culinary program, complemented by the newly reimagined Jo's Bar. The Valmont Spa offers oceanfront wellness, while multiple pools and direct beach access define the outdoor experience.

The only property in Miami Beach to simultaneously hold the AAA Five Diamond award, Forbes Five Star rating, and two Michelin Keys, it is a perennial fixture on Condé Nast Traveler and Travel + Leisure best-hotel lists.
