The world around HTH changed rapidly during the following years; new laws were introduced and changes within the hospitality industry were made. In 1992, the boarding school, now called Skotel, was opened. The students’ home for their first year was now located in the Zwolsestraat. There were 256 beds for the students, 21 hotel rooms and a gym. The building was opened by Michael Hirst; CEO of Hilton International.
In 1999, Mr W. Dooge became President of HTH and the Student Association ‘Senti Questo’ was founded. Alumnus Antoine van den Oever looked back at his time at HTH and said the following: “A period which I would not want to have missed, and if I had the chance to do it again, I would.”
In 2000, the world celebrated the Millennium. Meanwhile at HTH, a new auditorium was opened in The Hague. Also, a foundation was laid for holding of Hotelschool The Hague, Leadership Development (Curriculum Consultancy, Consultancy & Training and Master Programme).

HTH’s initiative to set up the ‘Leading hotel schools of the world’ became a success. Then, in September 2002, the Amsterdam Campus was established. HTH was proudly educating its students at two different campuses; one in The Hague and one in Amsterdam.
In Amsterdam, a new Student Association was formed by the name of ‘Comitas’. The Master Programme was introduced in co-operation with the Erasmus University in Rotterdam. On 19 March 2004, the Internal Jubilee Conference was held. This was part of the 75th Anniversary of Hotelschool The Hague.
