Course Overview

The BA in Luxury Hospitality Management at LSCT is a three-year honours degree within the Hospitality & Tourism department, designed for students who want to lead in the five-star and ultra-luxury segment — from Mayfair townhouse hotels and Michelin-starred restaurants to private members' clubs and luxury travel operators. The programme is taught from our central London base and delivered through on-campus, online and distance-learning routes from 2026.

You move from foundational hospitality operations into the disciplines that separate a competent four-star from a true luxury offer: guest psychology, discreet service choreography, revenue management at premium price points, and the quiet operational rigour that supports a six-figure stay. By the end you will have completed an industry placement in a recognised London or international luxury property, run a service-design project end-to-end, and built a CV ready for graduate management training schemes.

Key Features

UK-accredited honours degree aligned with the Institute of Hospitality and UKHospitality competency frameworks.
Three study modes — on-campus in London, fully online with live operations clinics, or distance learning with structured deadlines.
Industry placement in year two with a London luxury hotel, members' club, fine-dining restaurant or luxury travel operator.
Distinctive specialism module: HNW Guest Profiling & Discreet Service Design — the operational backbone of the luxury segment.
Site visits to landmark properties around Mayfair, Knightsbridge and the City; guest sessions with general managers and concierges.
Final-year capstone — design a luxury concept from brand to P&L and present to a panel of industry mentors.

What You Will Learn

The BA in Luxury Hospitality Management is structured around three strands: operations, commercial and guest experience. You will graduate able to read a daily flash report, brief a butler team, and explain to an owner why a 90 percent occupancy at the wrong rate is still a problem.

Luxury hotel operations — rooms division, F&B, spa, concierge and back-of-house choreography.
Revenue management and premium pricing across rooms, F&B outlets and ancillary spend.
Service design and guest psychology in the ultra-luxury segment.
Luxury brand management — heritage, exclusivity, scarcity and brand stewardship.
Financial control — USALI accounting, departmental P&L and capex planning.
People leadership — recruiting, retaining and developing high-end service teams.
HNW guest profiling and discreet service design with case studies from London properties.
Sustainability and luxury — reconciling the two without greenwash.
