Mission Statement

César Ritz Colleges Switzerland offers world-class hospitality business education. Our priorities are academic rigour, Swiss professional training, multicultural awareness and a caring approach to the personal development of our students. We are proud of our worldwide network of hospitality employers and alumni. Our graduates are industry professionals and leaders who exceed customer and employer expectations through their persistent dedication to excellence.
Academic Director, Professor John Swarbrooke, has developed a new initiative within the Leadership Programme that gives students the chance to undertake real-life consultancy projects requested by hotels. At Cesar Ritz Colleges Switzerland this internationalism begins on campus, where over 60 nationalities are represented. 'The customer is never wrong'
Cesar Ritz is also responsible for the origins of this philosophy that is widely used as a fundamental of customer service in every industry. His tradition of luxury, excellence and service in the hospitality industry has set the standard for hotels and restaurants throughout the world.
The philosophy and tradition of Cesar Ritz lives on at our hotel management school. During the annual EuroCHRIE conference held in Amsterdam this year, Mr George Ortiz was honoured with the Nestle Pro Gastronomia foundation award.
