Two Placemakr Properties Join Apartment Collection by Hilton
Hilton opened two apartment-style Placemakr properties under its Apartment Collection brand in Pittsburgh and Huntsville, Alabama. A Hilton spokesperson confirmed the openings to Hotel Dive, which published the item on 1 October 2026.
The two properties are Placemakr Pittsburgh Downtown, Apartments by Hilton, and Anthem House - Placemakr Huntsville, Apartments by Hilton. Both opened on 30 September, according to the Hilton spokesperson. They join Apartment Collection properties in Utah, Georgia and Austin, Texas.
Pittsburgh: The Pennsylvanian's Ballroom and In-Unit Laundry
The Pittsburgh property occupies the historic Pennsylvanian building downtown, steps from the city's Cultural District. Its website lists a historic ballroom for meetings and events, cooking areas and in-unit laundry. The ballroom is the property's meetings space.
Acram Group owns the Pittsburgh property, according to Asian Hospitality.
Huntsville: A Pool, a Fitness Center and Coworking Space
The Huntsville property sits inside a luxury apartment building in the MidCity District, steps from the Orion Amphitheater. Its own page lists a resort-style pool, a 24/7 fitness center, coworking spaces, chef-ready kitchens and in-unit laundry, and Hotel Dive records versatile spaces for meetings and events at the property. The listed address is 945 Mid City Drive NW.
RCP Companies developed the Huntsville building with Revolution Capital as capital partner, and the unit mix runs to 330 studio, studio plus and one-bedroom units, according to 256today.
Both Buildings Opened Under the Placemakr Flag
Placemakr opened both buildings in 2025. Huntsville opened in April 2025 as the company's first Alabama property. Hilton describes both as existing Placemakr-operated, mixed-use apartment hospitality properties that joined its portfolio on 30 September with reservations open, per Asian Hospitality. Both buildings are now bookable on Hilton channels.
Michael Snapkoski on Growth in Two Markets
Michael Snapkoski, brand leader of Apartment Collection by Hilton, wrote in a LinkedIn post that the openings mark another important step in the continued growth of the brand and expand Hilton's presence in two dynamic markets. Snapkoski was named brand leader in April.
The January Partnership and Three Thousand Units
Hilton launched Apartment Collection by Hilton in January in partnership with Placemakr, the apartment hospitality brand. Hilton's announcement of 15 January states that the partnership builds on an existing global inventory of approximately 10,000 apartment-style units and will add as many as 3,000 new units.
The first two properties under the brand debuted earlier this year in Atlanta and Salt Lake City. Placemakr lists Scout Living PCM Placemakr Atlanta, Placemakr Salt Lake City Downtown, Placemakr Austin Downtown and Placemakr Pittsburgh Downtown as bookable on Hilton channels, with more properties to follow.
Two Opening Dates From Two Hilton Documents
Asian Hospitality reported the same two properties and the same 30 September date. It records that the date runs earlier than the October date carried in a Hilton openings-and-renovations release of 25 September, so two Hilton documents disagree on the Huntsville date by up to a month.
The Aparthotel Field Around the Brand
Hotel Dive places the openings against a set of aparthotel moves. Marriott International runs Apartments by Marriott Bonvoy. Wyndham Hotels & Resorts entered a 10-year United States partnership with Reside to launch Reside, a Wyndham Residence. Kasa entered a strategic combination with Mint House in January.
What Hilton Has Not Published
Hilton published no Hilton-branded unit count for either new property, according to Asian Hospitality.
