Diploma in Luxury Experience Design
Course Overview
The Diploma in Luxury Experience Design takes you deep into luxury experience design inside a luxury hospitality setting, delivered by the London School of International Luxury Hospitality & Hotel Management (LSILHHM), a division of Harold International College of London. The programme runs for approximately 9 to 12 months and is written against UK and international hospitality standards, with reference to bodies such as Institute of Luxury Home Marketing (ILHM), Forbes Travel Guide (Five-Star Standards) and Leading Hotels of the World (LHW), giving you practitioner-level competence to run a shift, deliver a section and coordinate a small team to brand standard. The taught content on the Diploma in Luxury Experience Design moves from foundation principles into structured practice, using briefings, checklists and mini case studies drawn from working luxury hospitality settings.
Across the programme, you will study a structured curriculum that connects bespoke concierge to VIP guest journeys and luxury service inside a luxury resort setting, so by the point of graduation, you will be able to run a shift, brief a small team, maintain brand standards, hit service targets and step into a first supervisory role. The Diploma in Luxury Experience Design sequences its modules so that theory is always tested against the operational realities of a functioning boutique property.
Modern luxury hospitality businesses expect their people to combine service instinct with a working grasp of systems, brand standards and commercial reporting. The Diploma in Luxury Experience Design is designed to develop both dimensions inside a single, coherent programme. LSILHHM has built the Diploma in Luxury Experience Design to reflect the day-to-day paperwork, systems and service moments that shape a modern boutique property operation.
