This is a travel guide for hospitality nerds.
I'm absolutely passionate about hospitality, and when I travel, I love to explore new concepts.
I “sneak" into the hotel lobbies, then check restaurant, rooftop, and common areas. I observe people, interactions, and details. Sometimes I work from there on my laptop. Then I write my observations on Hotel Nuggets.
Inspiration can come from restaurants or museums too, not just hotels.
All these places on this list are in some (often weird) way inspiring for me. So I thought this compilation might be useful for another hospitality nerd in Amsterdam.
If you are trying to build the next Marriott, this newsletter is probably NOT for you.
But you will love it if you are acquiring land for glamping, bootstrapping a coliving space, buying a small hotel, building a cabin, hustling with Airbnb apartments, launching a niche marketplace, renting on Hipcamp... or you just like exploring new hospitality trends and building stuff.
Don't expect any online courses or similar bs. This newsletter is my personal hack to attract people who are into these topics, brainstorm ideas and then maybe do something together.
I share my stories of building a portfolio of hospitality business and running tons of experiments.
