Swiss Hotel Management School

Housed in former traditional Swiss Palace hotels, Swiss Hotel Management School is focused on "Learning By Doing". Lavish banqueting halls, a grand theatre, fully equipped wet and dry spas and multiple restaurants combined with courses validated by our UK university partner enables a fully encompassing hospitality operations education. 

Choose from 2 beautiful campuses in French-speaking Switzerland. The Leysin campus is housed in two former palace hotels, the Mont-Blanc Palace and the Belvédère, which are linked by a private sky-train.

Caux is also a former palace hotel, located in the hills behind Montreux. Inaugurated in 1902, after the second World War, it was transformed into a conference centre before later becoming home to Swiss Hotel Management School students.

The Swiss Hotel Management School was founded as a private hotel management school in Les Paccots at 1992.
