Accommodation
Montreux Campus
Montreux is located in one of the most beautiful parts of Switzerland, the Swiss Riviera nestled between Lake Geneva and the Swiss Alps. Known for its Mediterranean-style microclimate and visited by hundreds of thousands of tourists each year, Montreux hosts major events year-round, including the famous Montreux Jazz Festival, the Montreux Volleyball Masters, and the Christmas Market.
Only an hour away from the international Geneva airport, the central location of Hotel Institute Montreux makes student life very convenient. The train station, post office, shopping centers, coffee shops, and restaurants, as well as the famous Quai des Fleurs on Lake Geneva, are all within a five-minute walk. The lake is a pleasant place to go for a stroll, or during the warmer months, a swim in its clear waters.
The school is housed in three buildings within walking distance of each other: Hotel Europe, Leman Residence, and The Freddie Mercury. The buildings have been renovated to provide state-of-the-art accommodation and modern learning facilities. During the summer months, you can enjoy the gardens in front of the Hotel Europe building. The ‘Panorama Terrace’ of Hotel Europe offers a great place to relax in the evening and enjoy the sunset over the lake.
I love studying at HIM, as this university brings out the best out of its students! I did the Luxury Brand Management specialization, and I was amazed by the professionalism of our lecturers. In addition, life here flows so smoothly that we do not see time flying. Definitely the place to be!
