West Palm Beach, Florida, recently welcomed AKA West Palm, a hotel residence offering long-stay accommodations. As AKA’s second South Florida property, AKA West Palm features 215 hotel residences comprised of studios, one- and two-bedroom spaces, and Penthouse suites. The five-story hotel blends modern luxuries with comfort and simplicity, with sleek kitchens, washers and dryers, and private terraces.

“With an influx of visitors from the Northeast, we are already seeing interest from travelers familiar with the AKA brand and our properties in New York City, Philadelphia, and Boston,” said Larry Korman, CEO, AKA. “As West Palm’s reputation as ‘the Wall Street of the South’ develops, we are confident that those who are traveling for work will be delighted to make a home away from home at AKA.”

Located adjacent to Rosemary Square, the new property boasts an array of experiential amenities catering to residents’ needs. In addition to an intimate and sophisticated lounge and bar enclosed by glass, the hotel also features a pool area complete with lounge chairs, overhead trellises and landscaping. The pool area serves as the perfect spot for evening gatherings, with elongated fireplaces for colder nights.

Other amenities include a Technogym fitness center, featuring the Excite Live line of classes, an immersive experience with personalized training, Technogym coaches and mobile connectivity.

The pet-friendly hotel’s highlight is the brand’s first-ever pet spa. The spa offers pampering services provided by local professionals. In 2023, the hotel will offer food and beverage options thanks to partnerships with West Palm restaurants like The Blind Monk and Egg Bar.
