Swiss Hotel Schools Ranked Among World’s Best

The world’s top hotel companies have again ranked several hospitality management schools of Switzerland as the best in the world.

In a recent survey conducted by Taylor Nelson Sofres in the UK, hoteliers chose three Swiss schools among the top four hotel management schools worldwide: Ecole Hôtelière de Lausanne, Glion Institute of Higher Education and Les Roches International School of Hotel Management. Also ranked among the top four was Cornell University (USA). These schools were ranked as the world’s best for preparing students for an international career in hospitality management.

Les Roches and Glion are members of the Laureate International Universities network.

"Switzerland continues to lead the world in providing the highest-quality international hospitality management education," said David Graves, CEO Laureate Hospitality Art & Design Education. "The results of this survey, like those of a similar survey in 2007, affirm that hiring managers at the very best hotels consider Swiss hospitality education to be the best in the world."

The survey was conducted in September and October 2010, and included invitations to more than 50,000 hoteliers in 70 countries.

Laureate Hospitality Education, a division of Laureate Education Inc, commissioned TNS to conduct the survey utilizing “blind” objective techniques. The survey results are statistically reliable at a 95% confidence level. Similar results were obtained in a global industry survey conducted in 2007 by TNS.
