WTS advises Bob W. on acquisition of Charly Hospitality

WTS, one of the leading service providers for tax, and financial & deal advisory, has advised alternative lodging specialist Bob W. on tax and financial matters related to its acquisition of Charly Hospitality.

Bob W. entered the hotel and hospitality industry in 2018 and has since become a specialist in alternative accommodation and five-star non-contact service in locally designed apartments and residences in Europe. As part of the acquisition of Charly Hospitality, Bob W. primarily succeeds in entering the German market and also pays towards its targeted growth goals. The acquired seven properties in Bonn, Munich, Berlin, Lübeck and Cologne as well as in Amsterdam in the Netherlands are to be converted to the Bob W. brand by the end of 2023 and brought up to a uniform technology and brand standard.
