Updated on Nov. 3, 2026 in Apartments
Placemakr is set to open Placemakr Tempe, Apartments by Hilton, a new-build luxury property in Tempe, Arizona, on Dec. 2, and it is already taking bookings. The property offers 87 furnished studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom accommodations.
Why it matters
Placemakr CEO Jason Fundin said demand for apartment-style stays is outpacing supply, and the opening extends the Apartment Collection by Hilton category into Arizona. Hilton's tie-up with Placemakr was expected to add up to 3,000 units to its apartment-style inventory.
The Tempe property comprises 87 furnished studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom units. Hilton's existing global apartment-style inventory is roughly 10,000 units, and the Placemakr tie-up was projected to add up to 3,000 more, with no timeline given for that addition.

The takeaway
