Frommer's "The Zen-like, Asian-inspired Setai is truly for that 1% of society who can afford it." Full review
Concierge "The place is stunning... it's a hotel for grownups, people who aren't interested in parading around the pool or having a party in the lobby."
Travel + Leisure "With some 40 floors, the Setai rises over South Beach like an opulent obelisk, serving as a playground for damn-the-expense visitors." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This South Beach hotel opened in 2005 on the site of the former Vanderbilt Hotel. It is pricey but has every luxury, with 50 rooms and 75 suites."
Rough Guide "Condo-tower-cum-hotel that’s known for its celeb-heavy clientele... as much as for its pricey, vaguely Asian-themed rooms."
Time Out "In a case of Orient excess, the Setai boasts a four-bedroom penthouse with a $30,000 rack rate and the starriest clientele in town." Full review
Star Service "At 21st Street, on the edge of SoBe, this hotel occupies a sparkling white and reflective glass complex that faces the beach like a giant's tuning fork." Full review

Those who choose to brave the looks and lenses on the beach are well taken care of, with umbrellas, beach chairs and day beds at the ready, and a full staff on hand to quell thirsts and hungers.
Gayot "It is elite and divine."
BlackBook "Once among most stunning lux hotels on the Beach, but now showing its age and getting stale."
Zagat4.2
"Asian touches (antique jade, teak accents) throughout this "very sophisticated" property yield a "peaceful" ambiance that extends to the "spacious", "sexy" art deco rooms."

"Literally a one-minute walk from the beach, this trendy boutique hotel -- like many others in the area -- caters to young, hip partiers." Full review
Rough Guide Star
"Guestroom light switches at this imaginative hotspot turn on everything from the floral mirror by the vanity to the blue low-lights by the bed."
Star Service "An excellent choice indeed, aimed at design-deprived individuals and small groups in search of proximity to the action, excellent on-site dining (celebrity room service!), a cool rooftop pool." Full review
Gayot "Located right on Collins Avenue in South Beach, this serene hotel offers a trendy vibe in a sophisticated fashion."
BlackBook "Dreamy blue interiors make for romantic rooms, complete with mood lighting for your personal desires."
Fodor's "Dream is idyllic for ventures in hedonism: tanning on the beach (with quick access), making new friends (over sun-kissed libations on the roof), and late-night debauchery." Full review
Jetsetter "SoBe dreams do come true at this hotspot in an Art Deco icon near the beach and next to the Versace Mansion." Full review
The Telegraph7.0
"Located in the heart of South Beach, the Dream South Beach occupies a historic Art Deco building on bustling Collins Avenue." Full review
Time Out "Art deco glamor meets French Moroccan style, courtesy of designer Michael Czysz, with a result that somehow looks a bit space age." Full review
Lonely Planet "It feels like a cross between the interior of an Indian palace, an electric-blue tube of toothpaste and one of those hip European ice hotels." Full review
