Connecting investors and hotels
Through a global network built in public, I introduce investors and hotel owners directly. Off-market, on-market, curated.
Looking to buy?
I provide access to a curated selection of on- and off-market European hotels. Each opportunity is vetted not just for its strategic fit, but for its real operational potential—from boutique properties to full-scale assets.
You'll engage in direct conversations with owners, and if required, my network of trusted lawyers, architects, and commercial experts can be deployed to ensure a seamless process. Access is reserved for qualified principals.
Looking to sell?
Why limit yourself to a small local network of buyers when you can have access to a global network for vetted buyers? We offer two powerful paths to a hotel sale:
Private Introduction: I can discreetly introduce your property to my network of pre-qualified, international buyers from the US, UAE, and Asia.
Maximum Exposure: For the right property, we can design a modern sales strategy, leveraging social media and my online platform for global reach.
The right approach depends on your asset and your goals. We'll find the one that works, managed by a team that understands the nuances of your business.

About David Kijlstra
Being a founding team member and leading commercial teams at Zoku, one of Europe’s most innovative hotel brands, I’ve seen every side of the hotel business. That ground-up view taught me what actually makes a hotel succeed operationally and commercially
In 2020, I founded Highest Season, an agency that works with everything from boutique hotels to global icons like The Savoy, Accor, Zoku, and Bob W - growing their commercial performance and proving what creates real value in hospitality.
In the past 12 months, my social following has become one of the largest networks of hotel investors, family offices and hotel sellers in the space. My network today is strongest in the United States and United Arab Emirates, with a growing circle of principals in Asia and Europe. What unites them is an appetite for distinctive hotels with potential.
