School of Hotel, Restaurant and Tourism Management
Established in 1946, the School of Hotel, Restaurant and Tourism Management (HRTM), part of the Daniels College of Business at the University of Denver, prepares students for senior management positions in the fast-changing and competitive hospitality industry. As an HRTM graduate, you will possess knowledge and skills necessary to be successful in all aspects of the hospitality and tourism business.
The Denver hospitality industry, Colorado resort industry and the newly constructed School of HRTM building serve as our laboratories providing our students with the opportunity to gain valuable industry experience.
The School’s educational program is as advanced as the building that houses it, featuring an entirely new, state-of-the-art method for educating students in the hospitality business. The building, which accommodates 360 students, is designed to truly function as a “management laboratory” and will be operated, managed and marketed by the School’s students. The building houses a multipurpose conference center; a 2,800-square-foot, full-production kitchen; a beverage management center fashioned after a Tuscan wine cellar; and a 120-person dining hall with adjacent patio. It also includes: three amphitheatre-style, distance-learning-capable classrooms; two seminar-style classrooms; several group breakout rooms; a front desk operations center; three model hotel rooms; a student-faculty-staff commons; and offices for faculty and staff.
The Faculty is dedicated to high-quality education. Students are taught by professional educators who have both industry experience and advanced degrees, as well as industry practitioners interested in providing quality education. As a result of their commitment to combining theory with real-world experience, HRTM faculty benchmark leading-edge management techniques in the classroom and the industry.
