Bob W, the tech-powered hospitality provider, has exchanged contracts with Aroundtown, one of Europe’s leading listed real estate groups, to launch a 52-unit serviced apartment offer in a former post office building in Dortmund, Germany.The operator has signed a long term lease for 3,300 sq m at the Alte Post building, a former post office adjacent to Dortmund’s main railway station. The refurbished, mixed-use asset also hosts over 10,000 sq m of high-quality office space, as well as retail and commercial facilities.
The aparthotel will be Bob W’s fifth in Germany, a key target market for the operator, featuring a selection of high-quality, furnished 30 sq m studio and 40 sq m one-bedroom apartments with kitchens and a co-working lounge. It will take the total number of European cities in which Bob W operates to 18 across 10 countries, with further expansion planned.
The deal comes amid advanced discussions with landlords and property owners in other key German cities, including Stuttgart, Cologne, and Hamburg.
Conveniently located for guests to explore Dortmund, the new Bob W property provides excellent public transport links to the rest of the city via the nearby Kampstraße underground station. The property is also within easy reach of Dortmund’s key attractions, including the Westfalenpark, the shopping district along Westenhellweg and the iconic Dortmund U-Tower.
Backed by apps that provide a seamless digital front desk and robust customer service, guests can easily select super-early check-ins or late check-outs based on live availability and have access to the mainly chat-based perfect host ‘Bob W’ for recommendations and local tips. The operator’s ‘marketplace’ also connects guests to local breakfast spots, gyms, facilities, and a host of digital products to ensure a truly local experience.
