Eiss is an international campus offering hospitality management education and degrees

The beautiful campus is located on the premises of the former Kowie Grand Hotel, one of the oldest hotels in the town. It is a characteristic building steeped in history.

The hotel buildings have been converted into a complex containing lecture rooms, PBL tutorial rooms for small group learning, a library, a computer laboratory and residential accommodation. The facilities have been adapted to specifically accommodate the EISS International methods of instruction and to integrate general and residential campus life, ensuring the highest levels of hospitality management education.

Student accommodation is located in the former hotel bedrooms. Some of these offer impressive views of the town, river and sea. Old landmarks such as the Ladies Bar and dining room for students and staff still make a great place to meet and relax for sundowners.

The available rooms are suites equipped with all the modern conveniences offering sufficient space for living and studying.
