The experience continues with the recent launch of the La Dolce Vita Orient Express train, followed by Orient Express Corinthian in 2026, the first of two Orient Express sailing yachts, and finally, the return of the L'Orient Express train on the rails. Since 2022, Orient Express has been part of Accor Group's flagship luxury brand collection, with a century-old heritage in high-quality hospitality and catering.

About Orient Express Venice at Palazzo Donà Giovannelli
Orient Express will open its second hotel in Italy in the exceptional city of Venice. Architect and interior designer Aline Amar d'Amman, together with her studio Culture in Architecture, has been commissioned to design and decorate the spaces.
Venice, once the gateway to Constantinople and a legendary stop of the Orient Express train – which opened in 1919 with the completion of the Simplon tunnel connecting Switzerland to Italy – will be the site of the second Orient Express hotel, scheduled to open in 2026.
