Hands-On Training

At Hotelschool the Hague, aspiring hospitality professionals immerse themselves in real-world operations through venues the institution runs in both The Hague and Amsterdam. These unique facilities, collectively known as “Skotel,” serve as living laboratories where they manage guest rooms and refine service standards. Restaurants like Le Début, Les Saveurs, and Brasserie ZINQ become culinary workshops featuring seasonal menus, while the Streats initiative transforms surplus ingredients into refined dishes, embedding environmental responsibility into their professional DNA.

Hotelschool the Hague Campus in Amsterdam

Skotel Amsterdam operates entirely under student management, placing every operational aspect in their hands. At Le Début Amsterdam, guests experience a gastronomic theatre where dinners pair with signature beverages crafted by those training behind the bar. Meanwhile, Les Saveurs Amsterdam draws visitors with freshly brewed coffee and elegant snacks, offering approachable hospitality in a setting that values authenticity over formality—perfect for those seeking genuine connection rather than polished performance.

Research Initiatives

Through the Hotelschool The Hague Research Centre, students collaborate with industry professionals to explore where hospitality is heading. Programs examining urban hospitality and strategic foresight reveal how hotels and guests interact, while technology and talent management projects seek harmony between digital operations and human development. Research into responsible consumer behavior and business sustainability creates roadmaps where environmental consciousness becomes foundational strategy rather than fleeting trend.

Program Diversity and Activities

The curriculum at Hotelschool The Hague blends traditional disciplines—hotel management, restaurant operations—with courses on sustainability and technological innovation. Beyond classrooms, culinary workshops and environmental projects shape the learning landscape, while international forums offer global perspectives. This flexible structure allows participants to design personalized pathways, combining academic modules with practical experiences that align with their professional aspirations rather than following rigid trajectories.
