About
Switzerland has a long and proud history for hotel management and is world renowned for its hospitality education. Undoubtedly, many of the successful hotel managers around the world have been trained from there.
This history of excellence 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.
The "Caux-Palace" now is the home of SHMS, Swiss Hotel Management School. Students from more than 60 countries travel every year to Caux/Montreux, to experience the unique combination of a leading edge hospitality education, delivered at the birthplace of Switzerland's reputation for hospitality; the inspiring "Caux-Palace" with facilities which can be compared with 5-star hotels and English-speaking teachers with high qualifications make the name of SHMS well established around the globe as a elite leader in teaching Hotel Management.
In addition of "Caux-Palace", the City Campus and the University Centre in Leysin form Switzerland's largest English speaking hotel management institution. SHMS is also the member of ASEH (Swiss Hotel Schools Association) that its education is guaranteed with standards. Students are all required to study either French or German as to help equipping them for working overseas especially in Europe.
