Founded in 1958, the Hotel and Tourism School of Lisbon is a reference in the vocational training of this sector, being proud of being the first Hotel and Tourism School in Portugal and of offering a space of sharing and development of skills and knowledge for all those who have a passion for Tourism and Hospitality.

Located in the Campo de Ourique district, in the old facilities of the Industrial School Machado de Castro, it has a privileged location in the city of Lisbon and, as a differentiating factor, it has its own hotel - the Hotel da Estrela - where the practical component of the courses is developed in a real work context.

The recognition is the result of the right combination of students, around 500, and an exceptionally talented teaching staff, being a global School as well, with effective course plans, innovative projects of applied knowledge, global partnerships and a strong connection to the business world.
