Empowering Tomorrow's Hospitality Leaders
At the Institut Français d’Hôtellerie (IFH), we are committed to shaping the next generation of hospitality leaders—forward-thinking, globally-minded, and driven by excellence.
Become a Leader in Hospitality Management
The Master in Business & Hospitality (MBH) is built upon three pedagogical pillars designed to develop agile, innovative and responsible managers:
- Action-Oriented Business Training
Entrepreneurship projects (eg food trucks, pop-up restaurants), consulting missions for corporate partners, business games and real-life case studies. - Hands-On Hospitality Expertise
Intensive training sessions at our Château campus, culinary workshops, professional service experience with our hotel partners, and a strong emphasis on alternating work-study programs. - Mastering Luxury Soft Skills
Professional posture and communication, etiquette and codes of refinement, cultural knowledge and emotional intelligence tailored for the high-end hospitality world.
Experience-Driven Education
The MBH program addresses the key challenges shaping the future of luxury and hospitality:
- Innovation : Artificial intelligence, new economic models, digital ecosystems, and social media
- Sustainability : Responsible sourcing, circular economy, wellness and healthy lifestyles
