Boca Raton Resort and Club, A Waldorf Astoria Resort
Boca Raton's fabled favorite
VERIFIED LUXURY
We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.
We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.
Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.
While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.
We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.
Five-Star
These are outstanding, often iconic properties with virtually flawless service and amazing facilities.
Four-Star

The fabled Boca Raton Resort & Club has enamored visitors for decades. Renowned local architect Addison Mizner, who led the development of Boca Raton and a number of other South Florida cities, was the mastermind behind the resort’s Mediterranean and Spanish Colonial Revival aesthetic and that distinctive bright-pink exterior.
The resort unfolds across 356 acres, featuring a Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star spa, two championship golf courses, a tennis school, an expansive half-mile stretch of private beach, a marina, an art gallery and five distinctive accommodation styles. Check out rooms in the Cloister building, which dates to 1926, when it opened as a 100-room inn.
While the Boca Raton hotel has evolved into a modern day, ultra-luxurious resort, it still embraces Mizner’s original vision and, upon pulling up the grand drive, you’ll be enveloped by its illustrious past.

Receiving a full face-lift beginning in June, the Yacht Club will debut a sleek new "nautical-chic" look just in time for Boca Raton's high season in October.
