The accolades arrive as The Boca Raton ushers in its second century, commemorating 100 years of heritage, innovation, and hospitality. Originally founded as the Ritz-Carlton Cloister Inn in 1926 by visionary and architect Addison Mizner, the private club and resort has evolved into one of America's most iconic destinations. The latest recognition follows the resort's incredible $375 million transformation, including the unveiling of a newly reimagined Beach Club, setting a new standard for coastal luxury and experiential travel.
"To receive this distinction during our centennial is especially meaningful," said Daniel Hostettler, President & CEO of The Boca Raton. "For 100 years, our Club and resort have helped define luxury hospitality, creating extraordinary experiences for generations of guests and members. To now stand among just seven resorts in the world—and the only one in The Americas—with quadruple Five-Star ratings speaks volumes about the passion and dedication of our team and the enduring vision that has shaped this property since 1926. As we look ahead to the next century, our commitment to innovation, excellence, and world-class service has never been stronger."
"The Boca Raton's four Five‑Star ratings signal its arrival into an exclusive global circle of luxury resorts," said Amanda Frasier, President of Standards & Ratings for Forbes Travel Guide. "This achievement underscores South Florida's growing stature as a global destination for sophisticated travel and reflects how The Boca Raton delivers at the highest level across every dimension of hospitality as a place where families, couples, wellness seekers, and discerning travelers alike can find world-class experiences tailored to them."
