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."

Frommer's "This venerable Deco hotel has gone through an identity crisis over the past few years, but we think it may be over." Full review
Insight Guides "Understated stylishness is the hallmark of this trendy Art Deco hotel. Bedrooms - mostly suites - and their wall-to-wall marble bathrooms come in muted creams and beiges."
Travel + Leisure "This Art Deco hotel in South Beach is just two blocks from the famed Ocean Drive and the beach." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Chic, comfortable Asto offers small, yet soothing, rooms with Frette linens, mood lighting, and snug mattresses."
Time Out "The intimate lobby is softly illuminated and decorated in sandy hues, while the elegant bedrooms boast European king-size beds, imported cotton sheets and fleecy robes in the marble bathrooms." Full review
Star Service "This hotel is one the neighborhood's showplaces for travelers in search of understated South Beach elegance." Full review
Gayot "Built in 1936, this 40-room hotel was completely refurbished in 2002. It has retained many of its original Art Deco elements such as terrazzo floors and aluminum fixtures."
BlackBook "Deco standout that's chic and cozy at the same time. The lighting is very flattering as are the rooms with Frette linens and towels that are hard not to throw in your knock-off Birkin bag."
Oyster3.0
"Set in an historic Art Deco building with a great location, this mid-range boutique hotel has 42 rooms and tons of character." Full review
Jetsetter "A vintage-inspired 1930s retreat near the heart of South Beach, with beach towels and loaner bikes." Full review
