The Setai Search
The Setai is an intimate, serene oceanfront resort in the heart of South Beach. Its design vision artfully combines the rich architectural history of the neighborhood and its cultural diversity with the International Art Deco movement, particularly its influence in Asia. Infused with natural materials, space and light, The Setai bears the unmistakable imprint of legendary hotelier Adrian Zecha. The Art Deco landmark building was originally built between 1936 1938 as the famed Dempsey Vanderbilt Hotel. Next to it is our 40-story glass tower that surpasses all around it in elevation, views and design. More Details

Julia Tuttle was one of those early visionaries, prophesying that a great city would arise and become a center of trade with South America and a gateway to all of the Americas. Across the river lived William and Mary Brickell, who had quickly established themselves as shrewd real estate investors. Julia asked her friend Henry Flagler to extend his railroad down to the old Fort Dallas area, but he said he wasn't interested. Then a freeze destroyed the crops farther north, and Julia was quick to point out to him that their crops were uninjured and continued to thrive. Flagler quickly changed his mind, and negotiated an exchange of prime real estate from Tuttle and the Brickell family for his railroad. He also laid the foundations for the new city of Miami and built a magnificent hotel near the confluence of the Miami River and Biscayne Bay.
In spite of all this, it still took the development of air conditioning systems to make the south Florida climate bearable for most people. Since that occurred, the population has grown to proportions that must exceed even the wildest visions of Julia Tuttle, Henry Flagler, and William and Mary Brickell. Make no mistake, Miami is here to stay!
