Boutique Hotels

This luxurious boutique hotel comprises two properties: facing Collins Avenue is the classic, eight-story, refurbished 1930s Art Deco building, which houses well-appointed city- and courtyard-view studios. Further down by the beach is the 40-story aquamarine glass tower, home to condo owners and incredibly lavish one- and two-bedroom suites with stunning ocean views.

Don’t let the smaller size of the rooms in the Art Deco building fool you: they’re still big on luxury. Amenities include handmade Dux king-sized beds, Irish linens, stunning, black granite bathrooms with a rainfall showers, flat-screen TVs, surround-sound CD/DVD systems, in-room espresso machines, mini-bar, and wireless Internet. The rooms in the tower are more spacious, with open-plan Jacuzzi tubs (perfect for in-room spa treatments--for true bliss, try the Balinese couples massage) and fully equipped kitchens.

Just steps from the ocean, you can enjoy the Setai’s three swimming pools, with their romantic alcoves and comfortable poolside chaise lounges. You’ll be relieved from the hot Miami sun by complimentary Evian spritzers and cool towels. The hotel’s beachside service is also stellar. Grab a cozy, circular lounge chair and get the bartender to make you a perfect mojito. When hunger sets in, prepare for an unforgettable meal at the Setai Restaurant, which showcases a mix-and-match of cuisines from China, India, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia.
