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."
