About The Setai Residence Miami Beach

The Setai, Miami Beach is a five-star luxury hotel set in a landmark Asian Art Deco building originally designed by architect Henry Hohauser and opened in 1937 as the Dempsey-Vanderbilt. The property blends South Beach energy with Asian-inspired serenity across its oceanfront stretch of Collins Avenue.

Guests choose between Art Deco Suites, finished in teak wood with clean lines, and Ocean Suites with unobstructed sunrise views over the Atlantic. On-site dining spans Jaya, Japón, Ocean Grill, Jo's Bar, and a weekend caviar and champagne brunch.

The Valmont Spa offers ocean-facing treatment rooms, and the courtyard holds three pools with cabana service. The hotel holds the AAA Five Diamond designation, a Forbes Five-Star rating for ten consecutive years, and two Michelin Keys, making it one of the few Miami Beach properties to carry all three distinctions at once.

Its beachfront setting near Lincoln Road and the Miami Beach boardwalk suits travelers seeking a quieter, design-driven alternative to the busier clubs further south.

Reviews

Guests consistently highlight the oceanfront location, attentive staff, and the serenity of the Asian-inspired design, with many longtime guests returning repeatedly. A dress code and quieter, darker interior aesthetic set the tone compared to louder South Beach hotels nearby.
