About Orient Express

Orient Express embodies the refined and nomadic spirit of travel. Its exceptional assets portfolio includes experiences such as The Orient Express — its iconic carriages reinvented as a modern-day tribute to French luxury, with ARSENALE Group owner — La Dolce Vita, a train celebrating the elegance of Italian art de vivre, and a collection of luxury hotels opened in Rome – La Minerva – and soon in Venice – Palazzo Dona Giovannelli, along with Sailing Yachts - the O.E Corinthian, the world’s largest sailing ship.

While redefining the future of luxury hospitality, Orient Express emphasizes employee experience, development, and engagement.

As a symbol of ultra-luxury hospitality, the brand is currently undergoing an ambitious phase of rebirth and expansion, accelerated since 2024 as a Joint Venture between ACCOR and LVMH.

Growing under its 140-year reputation, Orient Express aims to become a pioneer of contemporary luxury hospitality, creating immersive experiences that combine design, service, culinary excellence, wellness, technology, sustainability, and local authenticity, while supporting community initiatives and social causes. The brand’s spirit of adventure, sublime service, and storytelling remains its hallmark, appealing to those with an adventurous spirit and a taste for excellence, linking travel and destinations as part of a journey.
