The School

Escuela Superior de Hostelería Sevilla

ESHS is a high education centre on the fields of hospitality and tourism with an unnegotiable goal: to achieve excellence and to train the future leaders of the sector. A business school founded in 1993 and a vital part of the prestigious Grupo Lezama

It is considered one of the best schools in the world as credited by the 3 awards granted by EURHODIP, the entity that conglomerates the main schools and universities of the sector. It has been chosen as “The Best European School of the Year” in 2000, 2005 and 2017; it also counts with the “Iberian-American award to the educative excellence” given by the Consejo Iberoamericano de Universidades and it also was appointed as headquarters of AHEOS (Spanish Association of Hospitality Schools)

About Us

The school´s vocation of service is one of the trademarks of D. Luis de Lezama, president and founder of Grupo Lezama and the school itself. An educative institution which was born out of the rising demand of qualified professionals for this sector that is, without a doubt, one of the engines of the Spanish and Andalusian economies.

This way, the school started its way in order to achieve an ambitious goal: to train those who were called to be the managers and directors of restaurants and hotels. Those people must perform as it is expected of them and with effort and daily hard work, they must keep overcoming every challenge that may appear. The number kept growing and now there are over 4500 former students. With all of them we bet on a comprehensive training along with the philosophy of “Learning by Doing”.

One of the most important milestones the school has reached has been the collaboration with university Pablo Olavide and our remarkable work on the field of innovation.

Where are we?

We have the great fortune of being an active part in the life of one of the most extraordinary cities there are. Seville, with its own style, advances through the 21st century offering its openness, modernity and internationalisation to the world.

Its historical heritage, its idiosyncrasy and its people make Seville deserving of the recognition as the best city to visit in 2018.

Taberna del Alabardero

One of the core themes of this school is “Learning by doing”, a practice that we carry out from day one, with a type of training completely imbued with the real hospitality labor world. And we exercise these practices with the level of demand that being a part of Grupo Lezama implies. Grupo Lezama is a renowned corporation with top level establishments in Spain and the U.S among which there are some of the best hotels, restaurants, caterings or convention centers.

Our students, specifically, receive training on the fields of cuisine, restaurant service and many management areas (commercial, F&B, event organization, purchases department…) Within the headquarters of Taberna del Alabardero Sevilla, a palace-house from the 19th Century on the historic center of Seville, which hosts a boutique hotel, a gastronomic restaurant and a bistro equipped with the latest kitchen technology, the nest for the new gastronomic talents “Alabardero LAB”, classrooms and meeting rooms. These facilities are completed with the catering department that offers high level services to businesses and social events, as well as the Hacienda San Juan de Hornillo, 15 minutes away from Seville, where some of the most exclusive professional or familiar events in Andalusia take place.

The theoretical education that the students receive is complemented by the practical training because there are many subjects that require the day to day contact with a real hospitality business routine. In Taberna del Alabardero, the students face a real working environment carrying all of the responsibility that this implies, but also being surrounded and supported by their own teachers which will evaluate their advancements and that will analyze their reaction capacities.
