The Setai Miami Beach, also referred to as The Setai South Beach, is a unique treasure that embodies the fusion of Eastern and Western influences. Initially established as the Dempsey-Vanderbilt Hotel in 1937 by the ex-world heavyweight champion boxer Jack Dempsey.
Currently, under the ownership of Nakash Holdings, managed by the founders of Jordache Enterprises, and the von Furstenberg family. Their dedication to providing personalised service and luxury amenities continues steadfastly, securing its status as a preferred choice for travellers.
Located on Collins Avenue, right on the beach and at the centre of the Art Deco district, this haven caters to discerning travellers looking for both tranquillity and proximity to cultural sites and lively nightlife.
The Setai stands as a testament to the renowned architect Henry Hohauser’s genius, seamlessly blending Art Deco architecture with Asian motifs. Its walls, hewn from exquisite teakwood, exude a genuine warmth. The design, characterized by organic textures and fluid lines, instils a sense of calm and reverently acknowledges the traditions of Asian Art Deco through its deliberate composition.
