Catering to entertainment industry insiders and a discerning clientele, AKA West Hollywood features 110 beautifully appointed furnished serviced residences, some bi-level, available for long-term stays of 31 days or more. The eight-story tower was co-designed by the Los Angeles-based studios of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill [SOM] and Lorcan O’Herlihy Architects [LOHA]. The sophisticated accommodations are comprised of spacious one- and two-bedroom suites, in addition to luxurious Penthouse Residences on the 8th floor, featuring endless views from Downtown Los Angeles to the Pacific Ocean.

The property is located in the heart of West Hollywood’s vibrant culture scene, just steps from the city’s most notable restaurants, high-end shopping, eclectic music venues, swanky art galleries, exclusive clubs and more. The site of AKA West Hollywood was once the location of Dean Martin’s Dino’s Lodge, which was featured in the opening segment of the LA-based private eye series from the 1950s, “77 Sunset Strip.” While a “77 Sunset Strip” dedication still remains on the sidewalk by the entrance of the property which was once the entrance of Dino’s Lodge, AKA West Hollywood also commemorates this iconic moment in Sunset Strip history through an original piece of artwork in the lounge.
