The Setai, Miami Beach Unveils Renovations

The four-month long multi-million dollar revitalization, which commenced in August 2013, was executed in an effort to elevate the guest experience through the following functional updates:

• Full reconstruction and resurfacing of the three swimming pools and pool decks with recycled Spanish glass mosaic tiles and imported Italian travertine, respectively; the hotel’s lap pool will also feature USB connection capabilities for swimmers to plug in their smart phones or music players and listen to their own playlists, through underwater speakers;
• Rebuilding of the Pool & Beach Bar restaurant to enhance the venue’s kitchen equipment and culinary workspace;
• Enhanced Art Deco building porte-cochère with column casing out of Dominican coral stone and Spanish cedar wood and a coffer ceiling out of Spanish cedar wood and LED lighting to brighten light to area;
• Beautification, repainting and waterproofing of The Courtyard’s serenity pond and walk-ways;
• Refurbishment of the teak hard-wood flooring, restoration of soft goods in all guest suites, as well as the installation of automated black-out shades in the Art Deco suites and revolutionary Nest thermostats and sleek Samsung sound bars in The Tower suites;
• Façade refresh of the entire Setai complex, including repainting and stucco repair to the historic Art Deco building, The Tower and The Spa.

In honor of its unveiling, and in the spirit of the hotel’s Asian culture, The Setai will host a “blessing” ceremony on Sunday, December 1 at 9:30am, led by Buddhist monks. The monks will bless all areas of the hotel, sharing prayers not only of prosperity for the hotel’s high season, but also for the wellness and enjoyment for all guests, residents, and Setai staff who pass through its doorways.

To celebrate its newly revitalized property and kick off the season, The Setai invites travelers to dive into its new pools this winter with The Setai Splash package, inclusive of one poolside spa service, one poolside lunch for two (up to a $100 value), daily breakfast for two, and a welcome bottle of chilled Champagne. The Splash package is valid for stays starting December 9, 2013, and adds a value of nearly 40 percent on the inclusions a la carte.

Another exclusive offer from The Setai this season is the limited-time December Suite Escape starting rate of $495 per night in the Art Deco building and $1,200 per night in The Tower; valid for stays between December 9 – 25, 2013. This represents nearly a 15 percent savings on the Art Deco building’s $575 standard starting rate—and nearly a 35 percent savings on The Tower’s $1,800 standard starting rate.
