Boca Raton Resort & Club History

Dreamers, risk-takers, moguls and millionaires all contributed to the creation of Florida’s Boca Raton and the stellar Boca Raton Resort & Club.

In 1926 Addison Mizner and his brother, Wilson (sometime playwright, full-time man-about-town), formed the Mizner Development Corporation. The company acquired 17,500 acres of Boca Raton property and proceeded to create “the greatest resort in the world,” a happy combination of Venice and Heaven, Florence and Toledo, with a little Greco-Roman glory and grandeur thrown in.

The Cloister Inn opened its doors at a cost of $1.25 million, the most expensive 100-room hotel ever built at the time. Mizner designed an elegant structure in an imaginative pseudo-

Spanish style with courtyards, and furnished it with his private collection of rate antiques from old churches and universities in Spain and Central America. The Cloister’s luxury and ambience quickly attracted royalty, Wall Street wealth, movie stars and the ranking hierarchy of the international social set, including the Vanderbilts, Florenz Ziegfeld, Al Jolson and Elizabeth Arden.

The Cloister’s guests seemed attracted rather than put off by Addison Mizner’s unconventional behavior. His previous trips to China gave him a fondness for silk pajamas, which he decided were perfectly proper for street wear. He also delighted in parading around with his pets and was reportedly seen on more than one occasion promenading with two chows, a small monkey on one shoulder, a macaw on the other and leading two large monkeys. (This has no doubt been the inspiration for “The Monkey Bar,” an intimate meeting place situated just off the lobby.)

Boca Raton Resort & Club History

After several decades of various illustrious owners, the resort’s promising future was secured when Arthur Vining Davis, one of the founders of Alcoa, bought the property in 1956 for $22.5 million. At the time, it was the biggest real estate deal in Florida history. Davis’ plans for the legendary hotel were to “preserve the atmosphere of quiet luxury for the group whose accomplishments enable them to enjoy the finest; the Boca will be second to none.”

In late 2001, the property introduced the new Spa Palazzo, two-story Golf Clubhouse, Tuscan restaurant Lucca and adjacent Bar Luna, and an extension of the main lobby to include the Grand Piazza. Debuting in 2002 was the 112-room waterfront Yacht Club, 32-slip marina, and new Salon di Palazzo.

A $20 million guest rooms renovation was completed in 2003, plus the addition of a new children’s playground with tricycle track and water park, new putting green, practice green, croquet lawn and fleet of GPS UpLink Smart Cart golf carts, and renovation of the resort’s historical ballrooms, Tower swimming pool, retail boutiques, along with poolside and oceanfront restaurants.

In 2004, an affiliate of The Blackstone Group, a private investment banking firm, purchased Boca Resorts Inc. for $1.2 billion. Blackstone has a history of investing in its properties, significantly enhancing services and amenities, and the same is anticipated for the Boca Raton Resort & Club and its sister properties within the LXR collection.

Committed to maintaining the Resort & Club’s standing as a world-class resort, Blackstone continues to invest in the property’s services, amenities and facilities, including the recent completion of a two-year, $100 million renovation.

Annually, $10 million is spent on upkeep and maintenance. This “renovation never rests” philosophy is at the heart of the Resort & Club’s capital improvement program with the goal of providing the most luxurious surroundings for the most selective people in the world. The Boca Raton Resort & Club retains its share of guests who remember a long-gone era, and boasts many newcomers who come to enjoy the resort’s unparalleled setting, luxurious accommodations and amenities and rich traditions. Heads of state and celebrities such as George Bush, John Travolta, Sylvester Stallone, Bette Midler, Tom Selleck. and Oprah Winfrey have been seen at the Boca Raton Resort & Club.
