With awards season in full swing, all eyes are on Los Angeles and the center of the entrainment industry: Hollywood. As celebs make their way to the West Coast city to attend each affair, many look to stay in private, high-end suites, hotels and luxury apartments throughout the area. One such property is AKA Beverly Hills where stars like Jennifer Lawrence and Richard Gere have called home during their travels.
AKA Beverly Hills is the first West Coast property from the brand which offers fully-serviced, long-stay residences that cater to affluent travelers.

Resting on the top-floor are 16 penthouses with Juliet balconies, hardwood floors, custom-designed furnishings, hi-tech Jambox portable speakers, fireplaces, spacious bathrooms and a Nespresso machine. The chic space features contemporary décor and a minimalistic style that stresses serenity in each room.
Located a few blocks away from Rodeo Drive, residents can also easily take a stroll outdoors and hit some of the nation’s best boutiques and upscale dining venues at any time. As it caters to celebs and other looking for anonymity, the property is home to a private, residents-only terrace where guests can mingle with others without having to worry about bothersome paparazzi. The terrace includes cozy outdoor fire pits, a daytime lounging area and views of the Hollywood sign.
If you’re in the mood for a flick, a.cinema is AKA’s newest space and features a 20-seat screening room available for short-term rentals.
