Bob W has announced the launch of its sixth London opening – a new aparthotel near St Paul’s Cathedral, slated to open in the spring…
Spanning across a mid-20th century building on Watling Street and a Neo-Georgian building on Groveland Court, Bob W St Paul’s skillfully blends modern convenience with historic charm. The strategic expansion reinforces Bob W’s commitment to deliver high-quality hospitality, genuine local experiences and sustainable practices.

Bob W St Paul’s adds to the company’s growing portfolio of top-tier properties in some of the English capital’s most sought-after neighbourhoods, including Tower Hill, the Tower of London, Commercial Street, Knightsbridge and Hyde Park.
The design concept for the new property in London is inspired by ‘the nomad,’ capturing the essence of the city’s rich historical tapestry and its contemporary status as a vibrant global hub. This melding of London’s architectural grandeur with the lively pace of a sophisticated lifestyle and diverse cultural landscape serves as the foundation for the property’s design ethos.
Timeless yet deeply ingrained with cultural significance, the design draws on the medieval city’s charm—its winding cobblestone streets, timber-framed dwellings, and ancient stone structures transport visitors to a time of bustling markets and medieval enchantment.

“The launch of this property not only solidifies our position as leaders in the tech-driven, immersive hospitality sector but also underscores our commitment to strategic urban expansion,” commented Niko Karstikko, Co-founder and CEO of Bob W. “Our emphasis on incorporating custom technology, local design and eco-friendly practices into each property reflects our mission to revolutionise hospitality for today’s travellers.”
