Enter the doors of Hotelschool The Hague, and you enter one of the world’s most special universities.
We are proud of the fact that Hotelschool The Hague is one of the last independent single sector Universities of Applied Sciences in The Netherlands. Hotelschool The Hague was founded and funded in 1929 by the hospitality industry to create a central place where industry partners could gain and share a new insight, skills and knowledge. Since its foundation, the Hotelschool has become an international school specialised in hospitality management offering a 4-year Bachelor’s degree in Hospitality Management. This degree course is also available as the accelerated International Fast Track programme.
There is more to Hotelschool The Hague than meets the eye. You are welcome in our Hotels & Restaurants in The Hague and Amsterdam to experience our passion for hospitality.
We are also home to one of the leading hospitality Research Centres where we conduct research into innovations in the hospitality industry. Our Consultancy & Training division advises and trains hospitality business professionals, either in the company or at our annual summer schools. The results from both divisions are quickly assimilated in our educational programmes so that our students learn from state of the art hospitality business cases; a continual programme of curriculum improvement.

It also has a code of provisions and rules for the supervision and involvement of stakeholders in education and research.

Our Values
Following a year of researching and consulting with our current students, faculty and management we recently introduced Hotelschool The Hague's New Values. It is a values-based ethical code, created by us for us. This means our values will be heart-felt not just head-stored, accentuating our identity and culture, our mission and vision, and not the least, our passion for the industry which needs leaders not only of high competence but also of excellent character. Our Values appeal to the individual's personal responsibility and moral competency, calling for all those in our community to make sound moral decisions based on values we can all identify with.
To support the Values we have created a Manifesto for our students, faculty and management providing us all with a north star for our actions and behaviours. Our values are represented by the letters in HOSPITALITY:
- H - We are Honest
- O- We are Open
- S - We are Sustainable
- P - We are Professional
- I - We are Integrity-Driven
- T - We are Transparent
- A - We are Ambassadors
- L - We are Loyal
- I - We are International
- T - We are Trustworthy
- Y - We are Yes-Minded
