AKA University City
The light-filled West Philadelphia suites at AKA University City welcome guests with high ceilings, fully equipped kitchens, separate living areas and prime views of the city.
Perfect for quick trips and extended stays, the hotel’s studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom and penthouse suites are all outfitted with spa-like marble bathrooms, king-sized beds and luxurious bedding, and Italian-inspired furnishings.
Beyond the suites, guests can enjoy Level28, the property’s exclusive amenity floor. Designed with both work and leisure in mind, the sophisticated space features a glass-enclosed rooftop pool with panoramic views, a 3D golf simulator and a business center, plus a serene terrace with fire pits, direct access to Cira Green — a striking 1.25-acre rooftop park — and more.
Located just across the Schuylkill River from bustling Center City, AKA University City offers ultra-luxury hotel suites and apartment residences on the upper floors of the spectacular Cira Centre.
Designed by Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects with interiors and amenities from Piero Lissoni, the 49th floor of AKA University City at Cira Center South has a prominent place in the Philadelphia skyline — and the highest views of any residential building in the city.
