BOCA RATON, Florida — The Boca Raton, South Florida’s historic private club and resort, announces the debut of the reimagined Beach Club hotel, with reservations available beginning in December.
When the $120 million investment is complete, the luxury oceanfront escape will connect to its beach setting through a thoughtful redesign and curated experiences. Resort guests and club members will set their own pace at Beach Club with new restaurants, a cocktail lounge and cafe, new fitness facility, oceanside event spaces, and a transformation of guest rooms and suites overlooking a half-mile stretch of private beach along the Atlantic Ocean.
“Beach Club has long been recognized as one of the most coveted beachside resort destinations in South Florida, and this evolution is poised to captivate a whole new category of discerning travelers while appealing to our legacy guests,” said Daniel A. Hostettler, president and CEO of The Boca Raton.
Gathering Places
Beach Club offers a variety of indoor and outdoor venues for meetings, events and oceanside celebrations. Newly transformed spaces include the beachfront Surfside Lawn that can be open-air or tented, the expansive Atlantic Ballroom and the scenic outdoor Coastal Patio.
Guest Rooms
Beach Club’s 210 guest rooms and suites are designed to blur the lines between indoors and outdoors, complete with floor-to-ceiling ocean or Intracoastal views. The light-filled accommodations embrace the sea breeze and natural textures, including honed marble and cerused woods complemented by coral velvet accents. In-room amenities include a wet bar with water filtration system. Beach Club will triple its quantity of suites, including the Grand Suite + Lanai that features one- and two-bedroom options that flow into expansive outdoor poolside living spaces with lounge seating on private patios.
Inspired Dining
Beach Club will offer distinct oceanfront food and drink options. The property’s dining destination, Marisol, will see a newly designed indoor-outdoor setting serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner just steps from the ocean. Marisol will serve fresh Mediterranean fare, and Marisol’s bar serves as a dramatic centerpiece of the restaurant’s design. A new sand-side dining experience, Onda, will spotlight a different culinary focus each winter season, starting with classic island flavors in its opening season.
Just beyond Beach Club’s entrance, Living Room will boast world-class mixologists and an outdoor terrace overlooking the seascape. During the day, Living Room’s cafe will offer house-made pastries, light bites and gourmet coffee. The poolside White Bar is an open-air gathering spot serving cocktails and offering an extensive wine list, while Ocean Market features quick gourmet bites and ice cream.
Curated Experiences
Beach Club will provide an extensive selection of amenities and services rooted in the spirit of the coastal lifestyle. For a luxury experience with a touch of retro chic, Beach Club will be home to an exclusive VesBAR fleet – repurposed 1960s Vespas helmed by a cadre of skilled bartenders. The hotel’s distinct programming will include an immersive Ritual Series beginning with First Light oceanside wellness classes, a Sunset Ritual marking the evening transition with a signature soundtrack and artisanal aperitifs, and Night’s End, a special late-night wind down tradition.
When not relaxing on the hotel’s private beach or enjoying on-the-water adventures such as surfing and pedal kayaking, guests can swim or sunbathe at one of three pools or at Cabana Club, a collection of vibrant pool cabanas. Waterside adventures await the youngest guests and members at Banyan Bunch Beachside, a dedicated children’s program featuring fun amenities and educational activities.
In addition to experiences at the Forbes Five-Star Beach Club, a stay provides access to The Boca Raton’s Harborside amenities. Just a five-minute Water Taxi across the Intracoastal, the resort offers golf, tennis, pickleball and wellness experiences at Spa Palmera, as well as three pools, water slides, a floating river and more at Harborside Pool Club.
The Boca Raton originally opened in 1926 as The Ritz-Carlton Cloister Inn. In the 2020s, it celebrates a remarkable evolution and its 100th anniversary. This marks the second phase of The Boca Raton’s overall $375 million transformation. The first phase was completed in early 2023, which redesigned Harborside’s offerings and amenities, including Tower hotel, more than 12 restaurants and lounges, the new four-acre Harborside Pool Club and upgrades to the storied Cloister hotel.
