About Bob W
I’m Bob W, your friend in town. I take the guesswork out of travel, blending the best of both worlds: hotel-grade consistency, local character, and a few surprises only locals would know.

I’m building a new kind of stay: five-star comfort, local flair, and always a step ahead on sustainability. All you have to do is show up. I’ll handle the rest.

About Bob W
I’m not just running hotels; I’m changing how you travel. I’ve taken the best bits from hotels (think: reliability, service, all the essentials) and mixed them with the warmth and quirks of a real home. My spaces are designed for living, working, and unwinding—whether you’re here for a night or a few months. Every detail’s considered, every location feels like it’s yours. This is your home in the city, minus the chores. This is Bob W.
