The Setai

Frommer's Review

With bank-busting room rates, dinner tabs coming in at around $200 per person, martinis at $26, and a celebrity clientele who doesn't have to ask how much, the Zen-like, Asian-inspired Setai is truly for that 1% of society who can afford it. But if you want to splurge, this is where to do it. All of the suites -- some are actually condos participating in the condo-hotel program -- are gorgeous apartments with floor-to-ceiling windows, full kitchens, and Jacuzzi bathtubs bigger than a small swimming pool. There are 75 regular hotel rooms that are just 550 square feet compared to the suites' 1,300 to 3,500 square feet. All are adorned in sleek Asian decor with over-the-top comforts including Lavazza espresso makers, Aqua di Parma bathroom amenities, and washer/dryers. The garden area with reflecting pools is lovely, but not as cool as the pool area with a bar serving $26 burgers to celebrity clientele. The Restaurant, its proper name, is authentically Asian, with stainless-steel tandoori ovens, but with steep prices and small portions you may as well buy a ticket to Asia.
