The School of Hotel and Tourism Management (SHTM, {{zh|t=酒店及旅遊業管理學院}}) at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) was established in 1979 as the Department of Institutional Management and Catering Studies. It was renamed as Department of Hotel and Tourism Management in 1992. The Department was designated a School in October 2001, which became an independent autonomous academic unit within the University structure in July 2004.

With over 2,100 students and 70 academic staff^[1] drawn from 22 countries and regions, the School offers programmes at levels ranging from undergraduate degrees to doctoral degrees. In 2012, the SHTM received from the International Council on Hotel, Restaurant, and Institutional Education (I-CHRIE) the McCool Breakthrough Award. The award recognised the School’s breakthrough in the form of its teaching and research hotel – Hotel Icon.^[2]^[3] The SHTM is currently a member of the United Nations World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) Knowledge Network.^[4]
