Boutique Apartment-Hotel In Ballston Amplifies On-Site Shopping

ARLINGTON, VA — Placemakr, the real estate company that operates boutique apartment-hotels, announced on Tuesday that it was partnering with Amazon to add that company's Just Walk Out Technology to its Marymount-Ballston property.

Just Walk Out Technology allows customers to obtain snacks, beverages, beer and wine, as well as travel products like toothbrushes at the property's on-site market. They can also order Marymount University gear. The idea behind the technology is to eliminate the need to find a nearby grocery store, avoid checkout lines and amplify the convenience factor for guests, according to a company release.

“As a next step in Placemakr’s commitment to tech-ease solutions, we knew introducing Amazon’s Just Walk Out technology would unlock new comforts for our guests, providing them with everything they’d need during their stay,” said Jason Fudin, CEO and co-founder at Placemakr. “As this is a first for our properties, we look forward to expanding our capabilities to additional locations and continuing to further our technological growth in the hospitality space.”
