About Us

The Hotel School is the only school in the Asia Pacific region which is owned and operated as an integral part of one of Australia's leading five-star hotels, InterContinental Sydney. Since its inception in 1989, all students have been employed as a compulsory part of our unique first year program and have consequently established valuable industry networks for the duration of their academic studies and later careers. In 1996, The Hotel School joined with Southern Cross University to form a partnership to offer a higher level of education to students. The School of Tourism and Hospitality Management, winner in many years of the NSW Awards for Excellence in Tourism Industry Education, has been a leader in providing degrees in tourism and hospitality. In 2000, The Hotel School also was victorious in the NSW Tourism Awards of the Decade for Industry Training¿ and in 2004, was voted Best Training Initiative by the Australian Hotels Association.
