The hype
Travelers love the 'squeaky clean' modern design and the convenience of the kitchenettes, but many balk at the parking fees.
Aka West Palm
$133-280/natt
Bestill dette hvis You want a sleek, apartment-style base in downtown West Palm with a killer wine bar downstairs and no dusty carpet in sight.
Hvorfor folk elsker det
- The Blind Monk wine bar in the lobby is a legitimate local hotspot, not just a hotel bar
- Rooms feel like high-end condos with full kitchens and in-unit washer/dryers
- Free 'Circuit' electric shuttle zips you to the beach or The Square without moving your car
Hurtig oversikt: It's a polished corporate apartment masquerading as a boutique hotel—clinical in the best way, but don't expect a bellhop to fawn over you.
Gjennomgått av @anahysramos: I loved how this place felt like my own luxury apartment in West Palm. My favorite part was grabbing fresh ingredients at the market downstairs for breakfast, then taking the bikes out to the waterfront. It’s the perfect spot if you want to feel like a local, not a tourist.

Reality check
It feels more like a luxury residence than a full-service hotel—staff can be 'hands-off' and the lobby vibe is quiet.
- You're in town for business or a week-long stay and need to do laundry
- You travel with a dog (very pet-friendly with a dedicated pet spa)
- You prefer a firm Tempur-Pedic mattress over a soft pillow-top

5 ting du bør vite før du drar
💡The 'a.market' in the lobby isn't just a snack shop; it serves legitimate gourmet coffee and artisanal sandwiches.
💡You aren't technically on the water—the 'Coastal View' is a view *of* the water from a few blocks back.
💡The elevators require a key card for your floor, adding a nice layer of security.
💡Housekeeping is 'light'—don't expect your bed made perfectly every single day unless you request/pay for it.
💡The gym is actually usable, equipped with modern Technogym gear, not just a broken treadmill.
