TheSetai Hotel

Offering respite from the busy street life and lively beach crowd, the hotel grounds are shaded by palm groves and sheltered

by thick belts of lush, soothing, deep green vegetation.

The hotel opened in 2004 and was originally designed by Jean-Michel Gathy. His vision was to create a true vacation home for visitors. The use of natural materials and tasteful decor underlying Asian aesthetics and values ensured the hotel was a great success when it first opened.

In 2010, Enea was invited to renovate the central courtyard and update the overall design of this area. Enea’s renovations

to the courtyard, with its palms, slatted pergola, and calming water feature, perfectly combine an unlikely pairing of Asian and tropical styles. Local stone together with warming woodwork carry this fusion style through to the corridor, where newly designed garden features now link the courtyard to the existing pool area. From here, the view over the ocean is perfectly framed by coconut palms and trimmed hedges.

The renovation of the pool area took place in 2013, when the hotel management decided to upgrade the surrounding gardens as well the pools, deck, furniture, lighting, and so on. The hotel has three outdoor pools that are now framed by lush green gardens with a colorful bougainvillea wall as a backdrop, in place of the plain stucco

wall that had been there previously.

Enea’s overall approach was to first of all respect the original design by continuing the use of the same natural materials (especially the Florida keystone and ipê wood), while also taking into account the local climate, using plants that are mostly native to Florida and resistant to the elements, such as the salt spray and strong winds.

The Setai Hotel is an exclusive enclave nestled between the renowned Collins Avenue and the Atlantic coastline on Miami Beach, Florida. It is a high-rise condominium and hotel, well known as one

of the best places to be in Miami.
