Boca Raton Beach Club

The Venice of America, Fort Lauderdale, is famous for its beautiful scenery and extensive canal system. However, just about 25 miles north of Fort Lauderdale, you will find the extraordinary Florida bolt hole, The Boca Raton Resort, with the Boca Raton Beach Club. The epitome of understated luxury, this hotel offers a blissful experience to all its guests. It is a popular vacation destination for people who want to spend some relaxing time recharging.

History

Today you may know Boca Raton Beach Club Resort as an independent hotel, but it was not always so. When it first opened back in 1926, it was called the Cloister Inn - Named so because the hotel's architecture drew inspiration from the 11th-century Spanish convent. The hotel was already struggling being a little more than an isolated farm town; the property foreclosed on only a year after its opening.

Over the upcoming decades, the property saw numerous waves of the teardown, construction, and redevelopment, the signs of which are still evident today. Additionally, the property changed many deep-pocketed owners during its lifetime. However, until summer 2021, the Boca Raton Beach Club Resort did belong to Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts, a luxury hotel and resort brand of Hilton Worldwide.

Location

The Boca Raton Beach Club Resort is right off the Atlantic Ocean amongst the many hotels and private condos lining the stretch of private beach on southern Florida's Gold Coast. Technically, it is separate but still part of the historic Boca Raton Resort & Club.

You can jump between the two locations via the free Mizner's Dream boat shuttle service. The Club is on the soft sands, with downtown Boca Raton a few minutes' drive away. Furthermore, if you drive south or north for forty minutes, you will reach Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood airports and Palm Beach, respectively.

Rooms and Suites

All the living accommodations at this luxurious hotel are large and tastefully designed. They are bright and straightforward, beautifully decorated in beach blues and greens. The 212 rooms and suites are bright and sunny. They feature floor-to-ceiling glass walls with sliding doors opening to the awe-inspiring ocean view.

Additionally, the suites here are all ocean-facing. Spanning over 840 to 1,680 square feet of area, the suites offer a relaxing luxury experience. You can choose between one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom suites. Each one has the respective number of king-sized beds and bathrooms. There is also a separate living room with a deep-seated sofa, a powder room, and a desk.

The rooms are also spacious spreading over 420 to 500 square feet. However, even in this category, there is a lot to choose from. Some offer ocean views, and others are pool-facing. Oceanview rooms have sun decks or balconies, while the pool view rooms offer lanai. You also have a choice between 2 double or one king bed. A sofa, a desk, and one or two ottomans further furnish the rooms.

The ocean-facing rooms provide easy access to the sand and sea, while the pool-facing ones have direct access to the pool and beach. The bedding is all premium, but you can also ask for hypoallergenic bedding. Furthermore, if small kids accompany you, you can also request a crib or an infant bed.
