Travelers aren’t just asking where to go anymore, they’re asking why. The 2025 travel trend reports are clear: people want immersive, meaningful experiences that respect the planet and connect them to local culture. The days of cookie‑cutter trips are fading fast. At Placemakr, this resonates deeply. Our spaces are designed for travelers who value authenticity, homes that blend into vibrant neighborhoods, steps from coffee shops, galleries, and parks. And because every apartment is equipped with chef-ready kitchens, in-unit laundry, and tech‑ease amenities, guests live more sustainably: fewer single‑use plastics, more home‑cooked meals, less waste overall. We believe the best travel feels less like “visiting” and more like belonging. Where you learn the rhythm of a neighborhood, meet the barista who knows your name, and explore beyond the tourist map. That’s what we call smarter living, smarter stays. Where would you stay if you could live anywhere for a month? #ExperientialTravel #SustainableStay #ApartmentMeetsHotel #Placemakr

The best part of U.S. city travel right now? Discovering neighborhoods that locals love, long before they’re trending on TikTok. Our guests aren’t just looking for landmarks. They want corner cafés, indie galleries, and farmer’s markets they can walk to from their door. They want to know the city’s real story, not just the one on postcards. Every Placemakr property is rooted in these kinds of neighborhoods. That’s how we turn stays into something more: a chance to experience the city like you’ve always belonged here. Where’s the last place you felt like a local? #HiddenGems #Placemakr #HotelmeetApartment

We combine the consistency of a hotel with the comfort of home, all in walkable, dynamic neighborhoods that make you want to stick around. - High-speed Wi-Fi for video calls and project deadlines - Chef-ready kitchens for midnight snacks or Saturday brunch - Full living spaces to spread out, settle in, and relax - Flexible booking, from days to months, because your schedule’s not one-size-fits-all Whether you’re meeting clients in DC or checking out the music scene in Nashville, our spaces are designed to keep up with how people actually travel now.
