Hilton has officially integrated two new properties into its Apartment Collection brand, expanding its portfolio with locations in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Huntsville, Alabama. The move follows a strategic partnership with the hospitality company Placemakr.
Why it matters
The addition of these properties marks a significant step in Hilton’s efforts to grow its footprint in the apartment-style accommodation market. By partnering with Placemakr, Hilton aims to scale its reach among travelers seeking residential amenities during their stays.
The partnership is expected to add 3,000 units to Hilton's global inventory of apartment-style properties. These locations feature residential-style amenities including private cooking areas, laundry facilities, swimming pools, and fitness centers.

Travelers looking for extended-stay options can now access residential amenities like full kitchens and laundry services under the Hilton brand umbrella. These properties provide a middle ground between traditional hotel services and the convenience of apartment living for domestic trips.
The takeaway
The expansion signals that major hotel brands are increasingly prioritizing residential-style properties to meet diverse traveler needs. Guests should look for these amenities when booking stays in cities like Pittsburgh or Huntsville to balance hotel reliability with apartment-style comfort.
