Student life in Maastricht

The years you study are a time to remember. Certainly when you are a student in Maastricht. The city is very lively and is the most international student city of the Netherlands. The campus of the Hotel Management School Maastricht is very unique. It is an international complex where students live, study and take practical lessons in the Teaching Hotel or the student restaurant Refresh.

On the campus you will find the educational building, Student Residence, the student association and a castle with a canal in a beautiful park. As a student, you experience student life in a completely new way. You are surrounded by beautiful nature while you have easy access to all the amenities, culture and nightlife that Maastricht has to offer. The city center is only a 15-minute bike ride or a 10-minute bus ride away. How convenient!

Campus life - school & Student Residence

The educational building of hotel school Maastricht is a modern building that offers all facilities to guarantee an excellent education: such as a unique gastronomy classroom, private project rooms, an extensive library and sufficient study space. You see, studying at hotel school Maastricht is the right choice for your future!

As a first-year student you will be living in the Student Residence on campus for a whole year. This experience is partly educational but mostly social and fun. You will learn to live together with others and deal with the challenges of sharing the same living space. This allows you to develop skills and capacities that are required to be successful in the hospitality industry.

Your student life starts on the campus of hotel school Maastricht. Here you will make friends for life and start relationships that will last a lifetime too.

Since September 2020 we have new student accommodation, the Student Residence. That means you will be living in a new, modern building! 

Working life – Teaching Hotel & Refresh

During your time at the hotel school in Maastricht, you will gain practical experience in the Teaching Hotel and the student restaurant Refresh. This gives you the opportunity to directly apply your theoretical knowledge. This combination of theory and practice takes education at the Hotel Management School Maastricht to a higher level.

A day in the working life of a hotel management student is never the same. One day you are responsible for the housekeeping of the Teaching Hotel. The next day you take care of our guests in restaurant L’Étoile or help with the daily lunch for hundreds of students and staff.

Social life - Amphitryon & Maastricht

Naturally, student life in Maastricht is not complete without a few parties! Luckily, our student association Amphitryon has a bar on campus where parties and events take place regularly. The city center of Maastricht is a stone’s throw away from campus. This makes it easy to enjoy all the fun things Maastricht has to offer.
