Vitalia is located within the courtyard area of “The Box”, a distinctive mixed-use building on the corner of Boardman and Eighth Streets. The Box includes co-working office space on the top floor (not available to guests) and a wellness center on the lower level.
The Box originally home to the Traverse City Cigar Box Company, built in 1920, the building has been carefully renovated over the years, maintaining its historic charm and character while offering all the modern comforts of today!
This stand-alone condo, `Vitalia` sits in the shared courtyard, giving you a peaceful, private retreat with full access to the gym and courtyard amenities.
Please keep in mind there is a flight of 18 interior steps up to the condo, once in the condo all rooms are on the same level.
Please note: the building across the street is undergoing renovations, so you may see construction vehicles during your stay.
Quiet hours are observed after 10 PM — we kindly ask guests to respect our neighbors. No unauthorized parties are allowed.
