Boca Beach Club at Boca Raton Resort & Club

Now part of the Waldorf Astoria Collection, Boca Beach Club at Boca Raton Resort & Club shines as a beacon of modern seaside hospitality on the south Florida coast. A spring 2009 reopening unveiled a $120-million makeover in a style perhaps best described as barefoot elegance—fresh, airy, light-filled spaces along a sparkling half-mile beach in Boca Raton. Highlights include a chic contemporary lobby and arrival experience, 212 guest rooms and suites, fine-dining and casual restaurants and bars, and a sprawling seaside Pool Oasis featuring private cabanas and poolside service around three magnificent pools.

For executive business and social affairs, views of the beach and ocean line open-air reception areas outside the Dunes Ballroom and seven smaller meeting rooms. Teams of seasoned meeting, catering, and event planners guarantee creative style and flawless execution for every occasion.

Boca Beach Club guests enjoy access to all the amenities of the legendary Boca Raton Resort & Club. Founded by the visionary hotelier Addison Mizner in 1926, the classic 356-acre property emerged recently from a multimillion-dollar makeover as well. Guests at both locations share a choice of 19 diverse food and beverage outlets, world-class tennis and golf, the renowned Spa Palazzo—and an additional 146,000 square feet of event space at The Cloister, Great Hall Center, Tower, Yacht Club, and Mizner Center.
