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. Every apartment is fully carbon offset and set up in Europe’s most interesting neighbourhoods, so you feel at home—just with better coffee and smarter tech. 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.
