What are the best schools on hotel and restaurant management?

HOTEL AND RESTAURANT MANAGEMENT?

• Does anybody know anything about hotel/restaurant management qualifications. I am 34 years old and have worked in travel and tourism since I was 21. I have worked as a holiday rep (tour guide) and as a travel agent. I feel like I am drifting a bit though and want to start giving myself some structure in life. As I seem to connect well with people, don't mind working unsociable hours and will do whatever it takes to make a customer satisfied (within limits obviously!) I think that hotel management might be the future for me. I also enjoy a business side to things so I think this will be a career that will combine all of these elements. As I try to be a positive thinker, I want to aim for the top in my new chosen profession, I think gaining qualifications (I have none other than basic school leavers qualifications) is the next step and it is here I need advice: What is the best course for me to look at? What is the best university for this (in the UK or abroad as I have lived abroad before I have no fear of this!) Are online hotel management degrees given the credibility needed to take me to the top of this profession? (just in case I can not secure the finances needed for me to attend university full time) Would a straight business degree be better than hotel management as I fully intend to have my own hotel one day? Although I have more enthusiasm now for education than I did at age 18 I am now 34 and will obviously be 37/38 by the time I have any qualification, will this seriously go against me? Are there any other other courses or suggestions of any sort that people have? Thank you.
