Accommodations
The Boca Raton Resort and Club grew from the Cloister Inn, designed and built by Addison Mizner in 1926. The Cloister Inn was a destination for many travelers and became home for Mizner and his pet monkey, Johnny Brown. The 50,000 square foot Waldorf Astoria Spa was designed to resemble Spain’s Alhambra Palace with luxurious interiors, elaborate mosaics, and grand arches. In addition, the 356-acre resort still maintains the Mediterranean style and the glamor of the 1920’s era while incorporating fresh and modern amenities.
