Whether you’re looking for a location for a large corporate event, a black-tie wedding, a world-class resort, or simply a place where a tank top and flip flops are the dress code, you need not look further than the Delray Beach/Boca Raton area.
With more than 100 destinations, the area will satisfy every preference for a vacation, an event, or a fine meal. And, while it’s impossible to list each one, we hope the following provides an overview of what we believe to be among the most unique.
Let’s start with some funky spots in Delray Beach. Crane’s Beach House (www.cranesbeachhouse.com) is set in the heart of downtown, just off Atlantic Avenue. It features a tropical ambiance with colorful bungalows and individual rooms. A beach bar, swimming pool (with a beach), and regular entertainment. Just the right spot to escape to a tropical paradise, without going to the airport.
A few blocks away, right on Atlantic Avenue, is the historic Colony Hotel & Cabana Club (www.thecolonyhotel.com) . Visitors will step back in time and enjoy this Spanish colonial-style hotel featuring an open-air lobby and bar. The perfect spot to “people watch” from your perch in this hotel you’ll want to write home about.
One of the newest destinations in Delray is the Seagate Hotel (www.seagatehotel.com), boasting true elegance right on the ocean. Featuring fine dining, beach club, and access to a golf course, the Seagate exemplifies luxury living just minutes from the action of Atlantic Avenue.
Hoping to step into a tropical paradise of lush landscaping, waterfalls, and meandering paths? No, you don’t have to go to The Keys. This, too, is available right off the avenue at the Sundy House (www.sundyhouse.com), another trip down memory lane to an older, simpler Florida reminiscent of a Florida beach town. Fine dining, unique accommodations, and a casual environment beckon you.
Want something right on the beach, and totally relaxing. Take advantage of Breakers on the Ocean (www.breakersontheocean.com). The solution to chaos, this location features direct access to the ocean, mini golf, and suites with kitchens.
Perhaps you want something more traditional for a special event or corporate meetings. Check out the Delray Beach Marriott (www.marriott.com) and Hyatt Place Delray Beach (www.hyattplacedelraybeach.com). High-end restaurants, spas, beach access, and right in the center of the action on Atlantic Avenue in the city’s Art’s District.
Wander south to Boca Raton, where you’ll quickly find the city’s showcase – the world-famous Boca Raton Resort & Club (www.bocaresort.com). Golf course, beach club, the finest restaurants in the world are among the features of this internationally known destination. Perfect for a large corporate event or a vacation with the family.
The Bridge Hotel (www.bocaratonbridgehotel.com) is set right on the Intracoastal and not coincidentally adjacent to a scenic bridge. Outdoor dining is one of the appeals as is the elegant restaurant at the “top of the bridge” which offers scenic views of Lake Boca Raton and the ocean.
Another outstanding location in Boca is the Marriott (www.marriott.com) , located in Boca Center. The perfect spot for corporate events, weddings, and short getaways.
