Ecole Hoteliere Lavasa: "A Cut Above the Rest"

As you already know, Ecole Hoteliere Lavasa is a among India’s finest hospitality institutes academic certification from the finest and oldest hospitality school—Ecole Hoteliere de Lausanne of Switzerland. 

Since the beginning, Ecole Hoteliere Lavasa has stood out from the crowd by doing things differently. The objective, however, is pretty straightforward: to nurture hospitality leaders, professionals who wouldn’t just be tiny cogs in the big wheel that is the hospitality industry, but innovators and thinkers who can actively lead change in the industry, in any market or locale, globally. 

It is for this reason that the curriculum goes above and beyond what most “hotel management” courses include in their syllabus. At Ecole Hoteliere Lavasa, we provide a balanced mix of hospitality and business education. 

The hospitality industry is one of major industries to have played a role in bringing the world together, making it a smaller place, as it were.  It is therefore imperative for those aspiring to be a part of this industry to be consummate professionals, completely aware of the industry, its trends and its nuances on a global level.

The time is near when yet another group of students—no, a group of polished hospitality professionals—are passing out of the fine institution that is Ecole Hoteliere Lavasa. Just as those that went before them, these youngsters will be a part of intensely demanding industry, something they have been rigorously trained for. On May 22, on the occasion of the 4^th Convocation Ceremony, we shall celebrate their coming of age and wish them all the best for a glorious career ahead of them.

The Ecole Hoteliere Lavasa Open Day was a grand success. Several hospitality aspirants, families and friends in tow, started turning up around 1030 hours, half an hour before the scheduled start.

It was a hot day and the guests were treated to some refreshing drinks prepared by the students in the common mess area.

Refreshing drinks to help the guests chill... literally!

Even though the proceedings were yet to begin, spontaneous, informal interactions between students (and families) with our faculty members had started.

The actual event started with a tour of the campus, with an introductory note by Mr Leevin Johnson.

The tour culminated with a formal presentation on the college and its connection to Ecole hôtelière de Lausanne.

The guests were then led to a scrumptious buffet spread prepared by our students, followed by a formal interaction session.

Ecole Hoteliere Lavasa Student Featured in Article by Hospitality Net

Here's more cause for celebration.

As we'd reported earlier, LEH student Nirmitee Mehta was a part of the team that won the Dorchester Collection Challenge at the Young Hotelier's Summit 2015. The theme of this challenge was embracing disruption, and Nirmitee and her team (prophetically named "Team 10/10") stole the show with their performance and won against a field comprising of students from premiere hospitality institutes from all over the globe.

Now here's the icing on the cake: Nirmitee has been featured in an article by Hospitality Net. Read it here: http://goo.gl/yLJjNK.

Like the rest of her teammates. Nirmitee has won a 7-day all expenses paid trip to Milan, Paris and London with stays at hotels in the Dorchester Collection.

Now, while that does make us somewhat jealous,
we're still proud of Nirmitee and wish her all the best for her future. We also want her to have a whale of a time at the holidays.

Now would be a good time to point out, that no other institute in India provides this sort of industral and international exposure to students. The Young Hotelier's Summit is but one example: there are various national and international meets that students from LEH attend. We also have in place a student exchange program wherein students can opt to transfer to any of Ecole's overseas campuses.

There's yet another reason to study at Ecole Hoteliere Lavasa. You can discover many more on our Open Day on 18th April 2015. Click here to register.

Ecole Hoteliere Lavasa: Open Day on 18th April 2015

We'll keep this one short.

We can write volumes about all that makes us the best and talk on it for hours but here's the thing: there's nothing like discovering Ecole Hoteliere Lavasa (LEH) by yourself.

Which is why April 18th is the LEH Open Day; a day we get to help you discover firsthand, all the wonderful things about us!

Ecole Hoteliere Lavasa: What Makes Us Stand Out

Set in the lap of nature, in India's first (post-independence) planned hill-city, Ecole Hoteliere Lavasa (LEH) is just about as good as it gets in terms of world-class hospitality education. No, we're not tooting our own trumpet: World Travel Brands has adjudged LEH to be the "best private hotel management institute in India".

So just what is it that sets us apart from all the multitudes of colleges and institutes in India which also claim to provide great education?

• For starters,it is the fact that we are about more than just "hotel management". Ecole Hoteliere Lavasa is among less than a handful of institutes in India that focuses on hospitality education as a whole rather than just on hotel management. For us, leading hotel chains all over the world are just one of the various avenues of employment for our students. 
• We are the only institute in India to be accredited to Ecole hôtelière de Lausanne, the world's oldest and finest hospitality institute. That amounts to a tremendous pedigree when it comes to our curriculum, pedagogy and faculty. 
• No other institute in India offers practical training at budget and luxury hotels, clubs, international convention center, restaurants and spa during the course itself at Lavasa.

Last but far from the least, the four-year programme at Ecole Hoteliere Lavasa is a hands-on learning experience, highly interactive and technology-driven. Our students, as a result, are ready to take on the challenges of leadership positions in the hospitality industry right away; hit the ground running, so to speak.

The bottomline is: LEH is a great place to study hospitality. However, you don't have to take our word for it. Come visit us on April 18th, 2015, on the LEH Open Day. This is a great opportunity for us to interact with hospitality aspirants and introduce them to LEH up close and personal. We promise to make it a memorable experience for you.

Ecole Hoteliere Lavasa student Nirmitee Mehta wins Laurels (And Prizes) at the Young Hotelier's Summit 2015

It gives us great pleasure to announce that Ms. Nirmitee Mehta , who is representing Ecole Hoteliere Lavasa at the Young Hotelier's Summit, has won the first prize in the summit challenge by the Dorchester Collection. 

To put things into perspective, this challenge saw participation from students from the world's top hospitality schools, who have all come to be a part of the annual Young Hotelier's Summit organized by Ecole hôtelière de Lausanne. This was the opposition that Nirmitee and her team faced andemerged victorious against. This is the first such prize to be won by one of our students at the Young Hoteliers Summit. 

We'd like to tell you about the challenge itself: the central theme was embracing disruption. The participants were asked to design an organisation structure that embraces disruption by breaking down traditional hierarchies and promoting real time communication and collaboration.

The winning team was awarded a 7-day all expenses paid trip to Milan, Paris and London with stays at hotels in the Dorchester Collection.

Ecole Hoteliere Lavasa congratulates Nirmitee once again. We shall keep you posted about more about the event in the days to come.

Till then, keep watching this space.
