About Orient Express

Travel artisan since 1883, Orient Express elevates the art of travel with its luxury trains, hotels, and sailing yachts. The brand has just launched its first hotel, Orient Express La Minerva, in Rome – followed by Orient Express Venice at Palazzo Donà Giovannelli in 2026. 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 tracks. Since 2022, Orient Express has been part of the Accor Group's flagship luxury brand collection, with a century-old heritage in high-quality hospitality and catering. In 2024, Accor and LVMH signed a strategic partnership to accelerate the development of Orient Express.
