Sarah Jacobs
AKA offers luxurious extended-stay accommodations that are well suited for business travelers, combining the hospitality you'd expect in a hotel with the privacy and comfort you'd get in a luxury condo. Guests can choose from nightly, weekly, or monthly rates, as well as more extended options. AKA has a total of 11 properties across New York City; Beverly Hills; Philadelphia; Washington, DC; and London, in addition to a new location it recently opened near Wall Street.
At this location, room rates start at $428 per night for a 362-square-foot suite and go up to $3,500 per night for a 1,103-square-foot suite.
"We got excited about what was happening downtown with Brookfield Place and all these restaurants, so we knew it was an up-and-coming neighborhood and we wanted to be part of recreating its urban downtown," Larry Korman, AKA's founder and president, said to Business Insider.
AKA is the product of four generations of the Korman family, including Korman's father, who began building flexible-lease apartments in Philadelphia in the '60s. Since then, AKA, which is run by Korman Communities, has become a go-to accommodation for celebrities, business travelers, and creative types.
