Placemakr Downtown Pittsburgh at The Pennsylvanian

Placemakr opened a furnished, apartment-style hospitality wing inside The Pennsylvanian, Daniel Burnham's landmark 1898 former Pennsylvania Railroad station in downtown Pittsburgh, alongside the building's existing residential apartments. Bookings began in the second quarter of 2025; the hospitality-only room count hasn't been broken out from the building's 240-plus total units.

The place

1100 Liberty Avenue, inside The Pennsylvanian, in downtown Pittsburgh, directly connected to the city's Amtrak stop.

The concept

The Pennsylvanian is Daniel Burnham's Beaux-Arts former Pennsylvania Railroad Station, built 1898–1904; its rotunda and office block were converted into 241 residential apartments in 1988, decades after the building stopped serving intercity passengers from its main hall (Amtrak still calls at a modest depot to the rear). Placemakr, the furnished short-term-stay operator, added a hospitality wing alongside the building's existing unfurnished residential leases — kitchen-equipped studio, one- and two-bedroom units with weekly housekeeping for longer stays, managed on-site by New York-based Acram Group. Hospitality-style bookings began in the second quarter of 2025. The building totals 240-plus units split between the furnished hospitality wing and unfurnished residential leases; press coverage doesn't break out how many belong to the hospitality side specifically, left unconfirmed here rather than guessed.

Dining & wellness

No dedicated restaurant has been announced for the hospitality wing; the building's Grand Hall, a historic event and wedding venue, is also operated by Placemakr.
