Swiss Hotel Management School

SHMS- Swiss Hotel Management School, is Switzerland’s largest English speaking Hotel Management School with an excellent reputation around the globe. A qualification from SHMS opens doors to leading positions in the hospitality industry, anywhere in the world.

Switzerland’s history of excellence in hotel management began more than 100 years ago when the first hotels were built in Switzerland. The “Caux-Palace”, nestled in the mountains overlooking both Montreux and Lake Geneva, was the largest, most impressive and exclusive establishment of the day. It was here – at the “Caux-Palace” – where Switzerland’s reputation for hospitality was born.

Today, the “Caux-Palace” is home of SHMS. Students from more than 60 different countries join us every year to learn in this unique atmosphere, at the very source of Switzerland’s Hospitality reputation. In this inspiring environment of the “Caux-Palace” we train our students to become true leaders in the ever expanding Hospitality Industry.

In the real life environment of the “Caux-Palace” Hotel, our well qualified hospitality experts will teach you the “Finesse” of hotel management using the traditional Swiss approach. You will follow a very colourful curriculum, comprising a wealth of practical elements, Management expertise and languages. Each individual subject will provide knowledge and skill critical to your future career in the Hospitality Industry.

Each year you will also complete a paid internship to gain even more practical experience. By the time you finish your education programme at SHMS you will have the world famous which is so sought after in the industry. And to make you even more attractive on the international job market, you may graduate with up to three internationally recognised qualifications from Switzerland (SHMS), United Kingdom (University of Derby) and the United States (AH&LA).

The number of students at SHMS has consistently increased over the last decade, with many of our new students being recommended to us by our current students and our large alumni. In 2003, when our enrolments exceeded our capacity in Caux, we purchased a second campus in Leysin. After a complete renovation, our Leysin Campus was opened in September 2004 offering state of the art learning and leisure facilities, outstanding accommodation for almost 600 students, and an extended range of excellent educational programmes.

SHMS’ experienced, dynamic and open-minded management, together with the quality and commitment of our staff, ensures that SHMS will continue its success story in the future and stay one step ahead of similar institutions.
