Return… to a Florida treasure after a $200m transformation
The Boca Raton, Florida
It was a sad moment when The Boca Raton, an iconic South Florida hotel, closed its doors. For almost a century, the whopping 200-acre hotel was a beloved part of the Sunshine State and an institution among the glitterati – who will be pleased to see the hotel reopen after a $200 million refurb. Now with five separate hotels under one resort umbrella, The Boca Raton has an array of restaurants, spas, tennis clubs and an 18-hole golf course across its sprawling estate. Sitting at the very core is the Tower, a 27-story hotel featuring 224 rooms, which saw a $65 million transformation. The rooms here are contemporary and bright with Floridian artwork and water views. thebocaraton.com
