Bob is the mythical globetrotter who calls nowhere home but is at ease anywhere. After travelling around the world from Chicago to Kathmandu and everywhere in between, Bob has developed refined taste when it comes to accommodation. His holy grail are places that blend the consistent quality of a hotel with the authentic flair and affordability of a host’s home. The problem is that these types of places are almost impossible to find. That’s why he decided to create his own category of exceptionally cool short-stay accommodation that combine the best of both worlds. When you sleep with Bob, you always know what to expect: an awesome location in a handpicked neighbourhood, interiors created by local designers, and a commitment to sustainability. Although Bob is usually away trekking up a glacier or hitchhiking across a continent, his team of professional hospitality superheroes is here for you day and night to make sure you have a 5-star stay. Welcome to Bob’s world!
