SLITHM commenced hotel school courses in the Kurunegala district, in the year 1997 at the Kandyan Reach Hotel and the JanakalaKendraya, Mallika Building in 2007. Subsequently, in the year 2007, the Ministry of Finance allocated funds for the construction of a new hotel school in response to a request made by the North Western Provincial Council to the Central Government. Therefore construction work was implemented with the objective of establishing the hotel school within a period of approximately 10 years at Maguruoyawatta, Boyagane, Kurunegala, with a complete practical training kitchen, restaurant, 04 classrooms, computer laboratory, auditorium, a faculty office, 02 housekeeping mockup rooms, a demonstration room, and a canteen.
In 2015, the Wayamba Development Authority of North Western province legally handed over a part of the building (after signing the MOU with WDA and SLITHM)to Sri Lanka Institute of Tourism & Hotel Management to carry out hotel school courses at the above-mentioned building and SLITHM commenced their operations with a strength of 108 students.
