Swiss Hotel Management School

Swiss Hotel Management School (SHMS) is a private hospitality management school in Caux and Leysin, Switzerland. As a traditional hospitality school, it educates and trains students in hotel management and in the hospitality and tourism industries. The school offers one bachelor's program, two master's programs, a postgraduate diploma, and an online Executive Master of Hospitality Management.

SHMS was ranked in top 4 worldwide for hospitality and leisure management in the 2026 QS World University Rankings, making it the highest-ranked conventional hotel management school in the world.

SHMS is based in Caux Palace, a historic Belle Époque palace hotel. Built on the Caux Mount by Swiss architect Eugène Jost, it was inaugurated on 7th July 1902.

Celebrities such as Prince Ibn Saud, Rudyard Kipling, John Paul Meagher, and the Maharajah of Baroda, visited and stayed there up until the Second World War. Afterwards, Caux-Palace played an instrumental role in worldwide peacebuilding and reconciliation efforts. Caux Palace became home to SHMS in 1994.

SHMS has a second campus in Leysin, which consists of the Mont-Blanc Palace and the Bélvedere hotels, connected by a private Skytrain. The Leysin campus was formerly the Club Med Hotel in Leysin, and was the first winter Club Med in the world.

SHMS has academic programs which combine practical elements from all aspects of the hospitality industry with management skills. It prepares students for senior international positions in the field through its different programs (Bachelor's, Master's, and Postgraduate Diploma).
