Discover the Ultimate Luxury Escape: Charlie Penthouse in Downtown Kalamazoo
Welcome to Charlie, our expansive 3,000 square foot luxury penthouse that truly stands out as the best in downtown Kalamazoo. Nothing else compares. It's larger than the Radisson's Grand Loft, with more bedrooms, a full kitchen for real home cooking, and unmatched privacy that hotels just can't match. Perched on the top floor of a secure, historic building, this beautifully designed retreat combines modern elegance and urban convenience, making it ideal for families, groups, professionals, or anyone seeking a memorable stay. We're excited to share this incredible space with you.
SPACE OVERVIEW:
Step inside and feel the warmth of soaring vaulted ceilings and hardwood floors that create an airy yet cozy atmosphere. The living area centers around a gas fireplace, ideal for relaxing. Whether curling up with a book, streaming a family movie on the smart TV (log into your Netflix, Prime, or other accounts), or enjoying our complimentary welcome wine. Three spacious bedrooms sleep up to six: two with king beds and premium linens, one with a queen, all with high-thread-count sheets and plush pillows for comfortable nights.
The two full bathrooms offer practical relaxation: one with a huge whirlpool tub for unwinding, both with high-end toiletries, fluffy towels, hairdryers, and pedestal sinks. Plenty of room means no rush for groups getting ready.
The heart of Charlie is the fully equipped kitchen, ready for anything from quick meals to family feasts, with stainless steel appliances (fridge, oven, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker), cookware, utensils, and dishes. Next door, the dining room seats six for shared moments over dinner or games.
For work, there's a quiet desk with high-speed WiFi. A dramatic foyer and direct elevator access make arrivals easy, especially with bags or kids.
PARKING & ACCESS:
Dedicated onsite parking is a game-changer downtown. No hunting or fees; your spot's reserved behind the building, with extra no-fee options nearby. Highways like I-94 and US-131 are close for quick drives to spots like the Air Zoo (10 minutes) or WMU events.
Privacy sets us apart: No hotel crowds or shared spaces. Just your keypad code for exclusive entry, creating a peaceful home base in the city.
