Description: The Setai is an intimate, serene oceanfront resort hotel in the heart of South Beach. Adjoined by a 40-story regal residential glass tower, set amongst tropical gardens, sparkling pools and sundecks leading down to a stretch of white sand beach. Infused with natural materials, space and light, The Setai bears the unmistakable imprint of legendary hotelier Adrian Zecha.
