South Beach, Miami

South Beach

South Beach, Miami, Florida for anyone wanting an easy get away from Boston  to Miami for Art Basel or sunshine with a 3 hour flight and a 15 minute cab ride to South Beach
I highly recommend The Setai Hotel 2001 Collins Avenue Miami Beach FL 33139  305-520-6000 www.thesetaihotel.com.

The hotel has an Asian/Zen feel in its decor, is an oasis amidst the hubbub of the South Beach scene with 3 fabulous heated pools, beach access and set ups, pool and beach bar and a leading Spa. An extensive buffet breakfast is included and $100 spa credit as well. The rooms are spacious with serene Asian decor. What made our stay special was the hotel staff - many of them and SO PERSONAL and ACCOMMODATING. Very International guest list. Did not need a car for we walked to 2 wonderful restaurants and everywhere else we needed to go for a long weekend.
