Asian-style hotels offer travelers a restful stay amid a chaotic world of constant intrusions by utilizing a mixture of design materials with influences from across Asia. The cornerstone of Asian-inspired hotels is the incorporation of soothing color palettes, clean lines and minimal approaches to the usual dark interiors of traditional hotels. These properties put an emphasis on relaxation and contemplation through the use of water features, gardens, and quiet lobby areas which encourage guests to slow down physically and mentally.
The Setai on Miami Beach is imbued with Asian minimalism, which is a welcome contrast to the bright art deco motifs of the surrounding area. Rooms are sleek and polished with natural woods and warm color tones. You will not find an abundance of overstuffed furniture, bulky dressers or thick cabinet doors here. Instead, guests experience the sense of spaciousness throughout the property.
