Placemakr has launched its newest location, WhyHotel by Placemakr, San Jose (Calif.).
Developed in partnership with local Bay Area developer Bayview Development Group, the new location marks the company’s first property in California. Operating under the brand’s pop-up model, the property is an apartment-hotel, combining the amenities of a home with the services found in hospitality.
“On the heels of our recent funding and rebrand, we continue to be highly focused on quality assets in amazing neighborhoods to add to our portfolio. With that, we’re so excited to join such a vibrant community for our first California project,” said Jason Fudin, CEO and co-founder of Placemakr, in a statement. “Northern California is a unique area of the country where people come to work and play. They want the flexibility to stay for as short or as long as they like in accommodations that have the comforts of home, making Placemakr the perfect fit. Our guests will truly be able to stay like they’re a local, in this gorgeous property located in the heart of everything.”
Public spaces at the hotel include a fitness center, outdoor seating and grilling areas, a private dog park, a ground-floor Starbucks and upscale Italian restaurant that is slated to open soon.
Located at the Miro San Jose in the city's downtown, WhyHotel by Placemakr, San Jose is close to historic San Pedro Square and one block from San Jose State University. It also is close to the SJC International Airport and Diridon Station. Reservations will be available beginning in May.
