The Boca Raton announced a redesign of its Cloister guestrooms and suites and a refresh of Mizner Center, its 80,000-square-foot event space. Both projects are scheduled for completion in fall 2026.
Curioso, an architecture, interior design and art collective, will lead the redesign of Cloister’s 297 guest rooms and 28 suites. The design draws on 1920s South Florida references, incorporating curvilinear headboards and details referencing original architect Addison Mizner, including a hallway carpet pattern featuring monkeys, a reference to Mizner’s pet, Johnnie Brown. Cloister will remain operational throughout the phased project.
Rockwell Group, which previously designed the property’s Tower hotel and The Game Room, will lead the Mizner Center refresh. Updates will span the Grand Ballroom, Royal Palm Ballroom, Addison Ballroom, Estate Ballroom, the Verandas and the outdoor Spanish Terrace. New furnishings, custom chandeliers and sconces and materials including stone, leather, textured fabrics and antique mirror accents will be introduced. Work begins this summer.
“What sets The Boca Raton apart is that every generation has built on the one before it,” said Daniel A. Hostettler, president & CEO of The Boca Raton. “We’re not just carrying forward our history; we’re shaping the future of the luxury resort experience. Every enhancement, every space, is poised to set a new benchmark for generations of members and guests.”
The announcements come as The Boca Raton marks its centennial year, having originally opened in 1926 as the Ritz-Carlton Cloister Inn. The projects follow a $375 million transformation that included the reimagination of Beach Club and Tower, the launch of Harborside Pool Club and the introduction of 20 dining options. The property holds a quadruple Forbes Five-Star designation, the only resort in the Americas with that distinction.
