FOREWORD “IIHM is one of the World’s Best Hotel Schools”

We aren’t saying this. Fifty Countries are saying this. When the 5th International Young Chef Olympiad came to a close in February 2019, we were swamped with messages from cheftestants, mentors, Hospitality icons and chefs from across the world. They praised the initiative, remarked on how it’s grown in magnitude, thanked us for being able to contribute to it and expressed their excitement to return for the next edition. A big thank you to all of you.

What makes International Institute of Hotel Management (IIHM) one of the World’s Best Hotel Schools? The World’s First IT-enabled Hospitality Platform Connecting over 50 Countries. India’s only In-house Training Hotel — IndiSmart. Our Teachers and Faculty who make learning fun. An International Curriculum designed as a 360° learning arc. Placements and Internships from USA to China. A Worldwide Alumni Network holding top positions in the World’s Best Hotel Brands. IIHM’s Global Connect, which connects IIHM with 50 Countries and Culinary Schools. And finally, IIHM’s Commitment to and Investment in Hospitality.
