Re-invent the world's largest industry as part of a dynamic, venture capital-backed hospitality tech start-up with huge growth ambitions!
About Bob W
Bob W is a fast-growing tech company providing an authentic 5-star experience to every single guest at scale while leading the world’s transition to sustainable hospitality.
Bob’s apartments cater to the 21st-century traveller who wants it all: the consistent quality of a hotel and the authentic flair of a short-stay rental. We combine the best of both worlds in our climate-neutral apartments in Europe's coolest neighbourhoods. As we expand, fueled by venture capital and investment from top-tier real estate equity firms, we are building the technology to give every guest a local, 5-star experience at scale.
