The Boca Raton Marks a Century of Iconic Luxury and Innovation

In 1926, a dream took form with the opening of the Cloister Inn, designed by the visionary architect Addison Mizner. Located along the stunning South Florida coastline, this Mediterranean Revival masterpiece has grown into The Boca Raton, a hallmark of luxurious hospitality and private club culture. As we approach 2026, The Boca Raton is set to commemorate its remarkable century in style.

A Legacy of Hospitality

The Boca Raton's storied past reflects the elegant evolution of both the property and the hospitality industry at large.

The year ahead promises to be one of lively celebrations, rich programming, and immersive guest experiences that reflect The Boca Raton's commitment to luxury and community.

Daniel A. Hostettler, the President and CEO of The Boca Raton, emphasizes the importance of this centennial milestone: “A centennial is more than a birthday. It’s a reflection of impact.” Throughout the coming year, guests can expect an array of events designed to celebrate the resort's history and the memories it has created for families, friends, and communities.
