IHTTI is a Swiss owned and Swiss run
Hotel and Tourism Management School. The School is
located in the same building as the Hotel EUROTEL, which
is also owned by IHTTI.
This unique opportunity provides our students with the
possibility to live and learn in a real-life situation.
Students participate in real hotel activities, assume
duties in every area of the hotel business and are in
direct contact with real hotel guests.
The classrooms are furnished with the
most sophisticated equipment available today. Each
student has a private Email address and unlimited
Internet access. Leading hospitality magazines and
journals and excellent books are available from the
IHTTI library as well as the Swiss university libraries.
The small size of the classes allows intensive
interaction with lecturers and classmates with lively
discussions and free expression of ideas and opinions.
The school offers full board and accommodation. All
rooms are equipped with a private toilet and shower (or
bath), direct telephone, television and wireless LAN
coverage. For vegetarians and those who do not eat pork
