The founding organisation of SHL Schweizerische Hotelfachschule Luzern, Union Helvetia – today Hotel & Gastro Union - was founded 1886 with a strong focus on the professional development of hotel employees
In 1886 our founding organization, Union Helvetia, realized the need for a hotel education as tourism was booming in Switzerland. SHL was founded to teach students how to deliver impeccable service and to equip future employees with the skills needed for a rewarding, lifelong career in the hospitality industry. For over 100 years, SHL has continued to teach new generations of students the fine art of Swiss hospitality and management.
