Minor content
During this minor, you will immerse yourself in the world of luxury hotels, exploring key trends, ethical dilemmas, and the drivers of innovation in high-end hospitality. Rather than just having classes at school, we will embark on frequent Industry Visits, where our industry experts and luxury hotel partners will inspire us and share their insights about what truly makes a hotel luxurious. And what better place to learn than within the luxury hotels themselves?
You will also develop your own luxury hotel concept, focusing on guest experience and innovative solutions, culminating in a pitch to a luxury industry panel.
This minor is offered by Hotel Management School.
