5* Boca Raton Resort
Description / Location
Created by famed architect Addison Mizner as a winter retreat for Northeastern socialites, the 356-acre Boca Raton Resort opened as the Cloister Inn in 1926. Expanded and renovated, it still features Mizner's renowned palm-tree-lined entrance, extensive gardens and green spaces, and croquet players dressed in whites, but now it serves as a destination resort for active families as well as adults. Guests of all five of the Boca Raton Resort's lodging sections enjoy access to all resort facilities, including pools and a private, half-mile stretch of ocean beach fronting the Beach Club section, to which buses and a ferry boat crossing the Intracoastal Waterway provide 10-minute shuttle service for guests of the other four sections. Recreation facilities include 30 tennis courts and two golf courses, one at the resort and the other at Boca Country Club.
Accommodations
This Florida resort offers 1,043 guestrooms in five distinct sections; four west of the Intracoastal Waterway in the main resort area and one, the Beach Club, located east of the Intracoastal Waterway on a half-mile stretch of private Atlantic Ocean beach. Buses and a ferryboat that cross the Intracoastal Waterway provide 10-minute shuttle service—covered by a daily resort fee charged at check-out—between the main resort area and the Beach Club. Guests of each section have full access to all sections' facilities.
The main resort area contains the original six-story Cloister built in 1926, the three-story Golf Villas, the eight-story Venetian-style Yacht Club, and the 27-story contemporary Tower. All buildings in the main resort area are pink and blend with the Spanish-Moorish architecture founder/architect Addison Mizner used in designing the Cloister. The seven-story Beach Club, built in the 1980s, employs a geometric design featuring strong horizontal lines and large, airy public spaces such as a long lobby extension with cushioned seating overlooking the ocean. The Beach Club has its own check-in lobby and concierge.
