Origins dating back to the 19th century
The Luxury Hotelschool’s origins date back to the 19th century when Charles Bouvier, grandfather of the school's founder, joined the Société Internationale des Wagons-Lits.
In 1912, he was appointed Inspector and given particular responsibility for organising presidential train journeys.
Charles Bouvier's collection of over a thousand historic menus now decorates the walls of the school's training restaurant, which is called "Le Charles" in his honour.
After 44 years of professional experience in this high-end sector, he was made a Chevalier de la Légion d'Honneur in 1928.
And now, the Luxury Hotelschool is returning to its roots with its campus on Boulevard Haussmann in Paris's 8th arrondissement.
The school is housed in the historic building that was once home to the Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits, and the company's logo with its two lions still adorns the façade of the building and appears on many of the menus in the school's collection.
Established over 30 years ago under the name ESHotel, the Luxury Hotelschool – the name adopted in 2018 – is a prestigious international hotel school offering training in luxury hotel management.
