AKA Beverly Hills and Hotel AKA Boston Common by Korman Communities have been honored in the 2025 Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards, recognized among the Best Hotels in their Cities—and, in the case of Boston Common, among the Best Hotels in the World. These distinctions celebrate AKA’s commitment to creating extraordinary residential experiences that balance sophistication, comfort, and a genuine sense of place.
In naming Hotel AKA Boston Common one of the best hotels globally, Condé Nast Traveler praises its modern Scandinavian and minimalist design sensibilities. Condé Nast recognizes the design transformation led by architect Rafael de Cárdenas and Studio NA.GI, saying the hotel’s recent redesign introduces refined materials—terrazzo flooring, white stone tiling, and sleek connection points—paired with the warmth of Boston’s historic character.
Guests gather at The Bosworth, where Mediterranean flavors meet classic cocktails, or retreat to a.Bar, an intimate wood-paneled lounge for timeless drinks and conversation. In the guest rooms, Eames lounge chairs, plush carpeting, and workspaces capture both residential comfort and modern utility, while skyline-view suites offer postcard perspectives of the city below.
Across the country, Condé Nast Traveler readers celebrate AKA Beverly Hills for defining luxury extended-stay living in Los Angeles. With 88 spacious one- and two-bedroom furnished residences, private-entry townhomes, and penthouse suites, the property combines glamorous design with real-world livability. Each residence features a gourmet kitchen, fireplace, and private balcony—some revealing views of the Hollywood sign.
Exclusive amenities—such as a residents-only terrace with fire pits and palms, and a 20-seat screening room—extend the feeling of belonging that is central to the AKA experience: privacy, service, and a sense of effortless elegance in the heart of Beverly Hills.
