FAQ

What is HTSPT?
HTSPT is your curated guide to the best places to eat, drink, stay, and shop in the Netherlands – and beyond. What started in 2015 as an Instagram account for Rotterdam hotspots has grown into a print guide, webshop, and visual platform featuring everything from stylish cafés to boutique hotels and local gems across multiple cities.

Where can I buy the HTSPT City Guide?
You can order our latest HTSPT City Guide directly via our webshop at htspt.co/shop. Prefer to shop in person? Our guides are also available at select hotspots. Keep an eye on our Instagram or shoot us a message to find a location near you.

What cities do you cover?
Our current guides focus mainly on Rotterdam, The Hague and Utrecht, but we’re always exploring new places across the Netherlands and Europe. Stay tuned – more cities are coming soon!

What’s inside the guide?
Each guide includes handpicked spots – from brunch cafés and wine bars to boutique hotels, concept stores, museums, and more. We visit every place ourselves, shoot the photography, and make sure each one fits the aesthetic and vibe HTSPT is known for.

How is this different from Google or TripAdvisor?
We don’t list everything – only what we truly love. HTSPT is curated, visually strong, and focused on places with great atmosphere, design, and food. No paid listings, just honest recommendations. Think of it as a friend with a good eye and great taste.

Can my business be featured?
If you run a unique or beautiful spot that fits our style, we’d love to hear from you. We’re always on the lookout for new places to feature in our guides, content, or photography. Reach out via htspt.co/contact or email us with photos and a short intro.

Do you offer photography?
Yes! Since 2015, we’ve been photographing cafés, restaurants, shops, hotels, and more – capturing their aesthetic and vibe in natural, warm images. We offer visual content packages for social media, websites, and marketing. Check our portfolio (that is this website) or send us a message for rates.

Who’s behind HTSPT?
HTSPT is created and run by Kirsten Jordan, a media and photography creative based in the Netherlands. From the city guides to the visuals and website, she handles it all – with some support from her network of creatives and collaborators.

Can I stock the guides in my store?
Absolutely! We love working with concept stores, cafés, and hotels that want to sell our guides. Get in touch for wholesale options or to request a sample copy.

Do you accept collaborations?
Yes – if your brand aligns with our values and style, we’re open to partnerships. Whether it’s branded content, photography, or creative campaigns, we’re happy to think along. Pitch your idea via our contact form or email.
