Hotelschool The Hague



“Hotelschool The Hague” is an international university specializing in hospitality management located in The Hague, the Netherlands. The main facility of Hotelschool The Hague lies just outside the city centre of The Hague, close to other International organizations and the Scheveningen beach, the most famous beach in the Netherlands.

Over the years it has become one of the best Hotel Schools in the world, and is recognized as such by the business community as well as by the Dutch government. The World Tourism Organization has placed Hotelschool The Hague on its list of the "best hospitality training centers of the world".


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 2004, a comparative research study “Mapping Knowledge” by the Dutch Ministry of Education has shown Hotelschool The Hague to be the best University of Professional Education in the Netherlands.
  • 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'.

Wonderful old-world Parisian Hotel


This was a wonderful old-world Paris Hotel steeped with history and tradition. Conveniently located on the famous Rue de Rivoli, the hotel is within the Marais area of Paris which is a very hip, old and now gay area of Paris. It felt very safe and had a great vibe. The hotel itself is well serviced by a lift and has a first floor reception with attentive staff. The breakfast room is a must-visit, and the rooms themselves are well sound-proofed but have basic amenities - no more than 2-star. The attraction with this hotel is the decor - it is beautifully wall-papered and trinkets and photos and other interesting things adorn the walls. Our only beef was the lax security around the keys. As tenants we had full access to other room keys when returning our own keys if the staff were not at the front desk. We felt this was the only quibble about what was a most-enjoyable stay. It is a must-do if you are looking for experiencing Paris

We selected this hotel to spend a short break in because of its position, on the edge of the Marais, and its value.
We found the location excellent as we could walk or 'metro' to anywhere we needed. The nearest metro to the hotel is Hotel de Ville. Some previous reviewers complained of the noise, but what do you expect in a prime position in Paris? It's the bustle and life on the streets that give the city its flavour. Anyway the rooms have double glazing and your own air conditioner, so close the windows!
All rooms appear to be en-suite and there is an electric hairdryer in the bathroom. Staff are very friendly and helpful, and speak English.
There is a pattisserie/cafe in the square next door who do wicked hot chocolate and croissants for breakfast.
We will certainly return to this small, typically French hotel.
