Boca Raton’s architectural spa masterpiece
VERIFIED LUXURY
Here are five things to know about us:
1. We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.
2. We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.
3. Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.
4. While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.
5. We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.

Modeled after Spain’s historic Alhambra Palace, Spa Palmera at The Boca Raton elevates the word “spa” to a grandiose level with high-end offerings, elaborate design and an inspirational atmosphere. The spa exudes the same spirit of elegance and modern luxury found in the expansive and iconic hotel.
At 50,000 square feet, the spa is an architectural masterpiece boasting 10,000 square feet of lush, vibrant gardens; two-story, arched cathedral windows; exposed cedar-beam ceilings; a two-story fireplace; and a hand-painted rotunda. Throughout you’ll see echoes of royalty in solid columns, smooth marble, intricate stonework, handcrafted colorful mosaics and mahogany and indigenous cypress woodwork.
With 44 treatment rooms, the luxury spa provides nourishing and luxurious therapies in an opulent setting. The menu showcases Mediterranean influences infused with tropical elements of South Florida’s coast. Services include the Instant Results facial (a Biologique Recherche treatment that uses cryotherapy to deter premature aging), the Sensory Awakening Therapy (a massage that alternates warm basalt stones and cold marble) and The Tropical Fusion Ritual (a bath with citrus and ground coconut extracts).
