Boca Raton Resort, A Waldorf Astoria Resort

A legend among the world's resorts, the Boca Raton Resort is located on 356 acres offering and elegant, serene ambiance in an idyllic tropical setting. The recent transformation of the Resort, along with its myriad activities and superb cuisine raise the bar for today's modern traveler. It was famed Palm Beach architect Addison Mizner who envisioned "the world's most architecturally beautiful playground," a dream that took form in 1926 with the opening of the Cloister Inn. A splendid building in the gracious Mediterranean style, the Cloister Inn acted as a residence for Mizner and his beloved pet monkey Johnnie Brown, as well as a haven for its illustrious roster of guests. Over decades, the Cloister Inn evolved into the Boca Raton Resort, a quintessential Florida retreat that has played host to countless celebrities and public figures seeking a private enclave of luxury.
