History

• ‘’Hotelschool The Hague’’ was founded in 1929 by HORECAF, the former employers’ organization in the hotel and catering sector.

• In 2002, Hotelschool The Hague opened a branch in Amsterdam that offers exactly the same curriculum.

• In 2006, Hotelschool The Hague was described as one of the best three international centers of hotel management by "Caterer & Hotel keeper"

• Hotelschool The Hague was selected by the Dutch Ministry of Education for an experiment to increase the tuition fees gradually, as the course offered 'a strong focus on the development of the personality, international orientation of staff, students and research field. Students are not only being taught how to be hospitable, but how to run a profitable business too. The added value of the course is founded by the institution's approach: small scaled education with eye for high quality'.
