No celebrity status required to experience luxury treatment in Beverly Hills. The 90210 provides a range of venues for a weekend filled with indulgence, fine dining, shopping, and elegance. Here are some top spots for an ideal weekend retreat.
ACCOMMODATIONS
AKA Beverly Hills
155 N. Crescent Drive
In the core of Beverly Hills, AKA offers lavish and spacious residential apartments with hotel services and amenities in close proximity to shopping, dining, and salons. The stunning AKA Beverly Hills accommodates one and two-bedroom suites, penthouses, and townhouses of various sizes. The units feature large gourmet kitchens equipped with wood floors, ample appliances, and kitchen essentials. The kitchen seamlessly transitions into the dining and living spaces in an open layout. Some units boast fireplaces and patios with views of the Hollywood sign. The furnishing is bespoke and tailored to fit each unit, sourced from Italy. Additionally, facilities include a washer and dryer, a bedroom with a second television, elegant bathrooms with showers and soaking tubs, and spacious walk-in closets.
A seven-night stay at AKA in a one-bedroom suite costs around $3,700 and is truly worth the investment. At an average of $500 per night, the suite offers more space than a luxury hotel room at a similar price point and comes with the added advantage of a full kitchen, a prime location within walking distance to numerous eateries and shops, as well as upscale amenities like secure parking, a lounge, a fitness area, and a private screening room for privacy and ample room.
