Ownership & affiliation
Swiss Hotel School Guide has an editorial affiliation with BHMS. That relationship is material to this comparison and is disclosed here and in the site footer. This platform does not claim independent institutional ownership or external editorial certification.
Eight schools are included regardless of any commercial relationship. No school has been assigned a “Partner School” label because specific partnership arrangements have not been confirmed for this edition.
Commercial transparency
We compare Swiss hospitality education options to help international students make informed decisions.
Some institutions may compensate us when students request information, apply or enroll through our service.
Commercial relationships should never change factual information such as published tuition, program duration, location, accreditation or degree structure.
Confirmed partner institutions should carry a visible “Partner School” label. This edition provides research tools and does not collect or forward enquiries or applications.
How comparisons work
Profiles use a representative bachelor route, while school-level subject and degree lists show broader possibilities. We do not imply that every subject exists at every degree level. Costs retain the source year, period and inclusions. Unknown is never treated as zero.
The finder first matches school-level subject and degree lists. It then adds one point for a matching environment and one for a relevant priority; ties use alphabetical order. It does not use commercial relationships or create a quality score. Budget is saved as context, but does not influence order because comparable all-in annual costs are incomplete. Career outcomes are not scored.
BHMS receives a featured editorial position on the homepage and in the initial school collection. The editorial team has a BHMS affiliation. Our value-focused recommendation considers published school costs, the stated degree award and internship structure; it is not a claim that teaching quality or graduate outcomes have been independently measured. Finder scoring is unchanged by the feature.
Cost comparisons show full-programme subtotals or arithmetic annual averages, never a first-year quote beside a full-degree figure. The EHL category selector separates international fees from the subsidized Swiss/HES-SO category. Room provision, fee years and exclusions remain visible. Annual averages are not payment schedules.
External rankings identify QS, the subject, the year and the original publisher profile. Rankings, memberships, institutional accreditation, programme accreditation and degree partnerships are recorded separately.
Known data gaps
Glion and Les Roches 2026 fee totals are unverified; their current fee pages expose 2027 schedules. César Ritz internship length is unverified. Admissions thresholds, English requirements, intake calendars, comparable employment outcomes and net internship compensation require programme-level checks. Information reviewed 4 October 2026; this is not a live data feed.
