About The Philosophy of Hospitality

Hospitality media for a new age.

TPH is a grand hotel that exists only on these pages. Check in for cultural criticism, scrutiny, thoughts, feelings, analysis, and the philosophical conversations hospitality has been missing. New letters every Saturday.

Who writes this?

I’m Emma Näpänkangas, a hospitality strategist and writer. I have a background in philosophy and write for EHL Insights.

I started tPH because I needed somewhere to think out loud about the industry I love.

What to expect

• The Reservation — Strategy, analysis, and where hospitality is headed

• Turndown Service — First-person experiences, reviews, and an eye for detail

• The Lobby — Quick takes on news and the industry pulse.
