The tech-powered hospitality operator, has signed a long-term lease agreement for a flagship city centre property in Munich, further strengthening its presence in Germany following a series of recent deals across the country.
Located at Schwanthalerstraße 61, Bob W Munich City Centre delivers 119 design-led serviced apartments across 5,800sq m. The building comprises a mix of studios and one-bedroom apartments, all equipped with kitchenettes and is expected to open in May 2026.
Positioned just five minutes from Munich Central Station and the Old Town and within walking distance of the Oktoberfest grounds, the asset benefits from one of the most central and well-connected locations in the city.
The deal reflects Bob W’s continued focus on Germany as a priority growth market, building on strong operational performance and recent expansion in Munich, with the launch of four new properties in Bavaria’s capital since early 2025. Bob W now operates a total of six properties in Munich.
It also showcases the flexibility and speed of Bob W’s operating model. The company will take over the existing operation and transition the property into a full Bob W in phases, allowing for a rapid launch with minimal downtime while upgrading the guest experience and design to its brand standard.
Niko Karstikko, Co-Founder and CEO of Bob W, said: “Munich is one of Europe’s most competitive hospitality markets, so securing a flagship asset in the city centre is a significant milestone for us. What makes this project particularly exciting is the speed and adaptability of our model. We’re able to take on an existing operating asset, bring it into the Bob W platform quickly and enhance it in stages, minimising downtime while maximising long-term value. Germany remains a core focus for Bob W. We’ve seen strong performance across the market, particularly in Munich, and we’re continuing to scale our presence with a number of additional opportunities currently in progress.”
