Alina Residences vs Glass House vs Mandarin Oriental Residences in Boca Raton: Service model

In Boca Raton’s newest ultra-luxury towers, service has become the real differentiator. Beyond finishes and views, buyers are choosing between three distinct operating philosophies: the hotel-branded model, the boutique concierge model, and the full-service luxury condominium model managed by an association with a professional operator. Each delivers a different kind of privacy, predictability, and daily ease. This MILLION Luxury editorial explains how these models actually work, what you are paying for, and which questions matter most before you commit. The goal is not to crown a universal winner, but to help you match service style to how you live in Boca Ratón, whether you arrive for seasons, entertain frequently, or prefer an invisible, low-touch baseline that still feels impeccably run.

Miami Beach vs. Florida Keys: Ultra-Luxury City Living or Private Island Serenity?

In 2025, the luxury conversation in South Florida is less about where prices peaked and more about where terms can be negotiated without compromising lifestyle. Miami Beach is increasingly a two-speed market: trophy assets and best-in-class buildings still command attention, while broader condo inventory and longer selling timelines create real openings for prepared buyers. The Florida Keys, by contrast, remain driven by scarcity and water access, yet even there longer days on market are shifting the tone from urgency to selectivity. For buyers weighing a full-time residence against a second-home retreat, the question is not simply “Beach or Keys?” It is which micro-market matches your preferred rhythm: walkable, amenity-dense city living, or boating-first privacy with a different ownership profile. Below, MILLION Luxury outlines where leverage is showing up, where it is not, and how to underwrite the decision with clear eyes.
