Where to Stay in Boca Raton

An upscale area known for its luxurious lifestyle, Boca Roca is one of the swankiest parts of Palm Beach County. Not only is this South Florida city a centre for business but it’s also one of the wealthiest cities in South Florida. Large oceanfront hotels with exclusive amenities, lavish swimming pools and direct beach access are popular along Boca Raton’s stretch of the coast. If you’re looking for budget accommodation, it may help to look for a place to stay a bit further inland. The further from the Boca Raton seafront you go, the more hotel prices tend to drop.

Shopping in Boca Raton

Take one look down Plaza Real, the main street through Boca Raton’s popular shopping village Mizner Park, and you’ll quickly get a sense of just how much wealth the city’s residents enjoy. Most shops are either labelled as boutique or speciality, and you’re very likely to find yourself walking past a Prada-toting mum and her designer-clad baby as you wander along.

For indoor shopping, head to the Town Centre at Boca Raton. This upmarket mall is the largest enclosed shopping mall in Palm Beach County and the second-largest in all of South Florida. Here, you’ll find popular department stores such as Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom and Saks Fifth Avenue.
