Boca Raton Hotels, Attractions, and Information
Boca Raton, Florida is known around the country for its well to do lifestyle and flashy
shopping and dining. Boca Raton is a favorite winter home for northeasterners trying to
escape the ice and snow for South Florida's tropical climate. Boca Raton offers visiting
tourists miles of beautiful beaches, fishing, scuba diving, golf and some of the best
tennis in the country. Boca Raton's great outdoors can be enjoyed year round. Like many
South Florida cities, Boca Raton was founded after railroad magnate Henry Flagler forced
his railway further south. After an early rural existence growing fruit and pineapples,
Boca Raton was developed as a vacation spot for wealthy northerners. The city has gained a
reputation as a home to the rich and famous, the Boca Raton airport is the base of
operations for more private jets than anywhere else in the nation.

In addition to its exclusive reputation, Boca Raton is home to arts and
cultural institutions such as the Boca Raton Museum of Art, the Caldwell Theatre, the

Addison Mizner in Boca Raton
A famous aspect of Boca Raton is the pink architectural designs of designer and builder
Addison Mizner. Mizner was the man who created so many Mediterranean style buildings in
Boca Raton. The centerpiece of the Boca Raton Resort & Club is the Cloister hotel, which
Mizner created in 1926. Today, hundreds of buildings of all sizes and shapes are painted
in Mizner Pink with many housing developments and businesses using his name for
recognition. The Boca Raton Resort & Club is perhaps the signature site in the city with
its pink tower rising 27 stories above the Intracoastal Waterway. The resort offers fine
dining, charter fishing, two golf courses and championship tennis to its guests. During
the Second World War, the resort was used to house troops that trained at the nearby air
base. After the war, the air base was converted to civilian use and Florida Atlantic
University was founded in 1964 with President Lyndon B. Johnson leading the
dedication.
