About
Belmond was born from a passion for connecting discerning travellers with the world’s most remarkable properties, locations, and journeys. From luxurious hotels and trains to exquisite river cruises and exhilarating safaris, Belmond curates exceptional experiences and crafts unforgettable stories that linger long after the journey has ended. With a legacy that spans over 45 years, Belmond has grown into a global collection of 44 unique properties located in 25 countries. Since its inception in 1976 with the acquisition of Hotel Cipriani in Venice, Belmond has established itself as a pioneer in luxury travel, successfully operating the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express since 1982. Additional offerings include pristine beach resorts like Maroma on the Riviera Maya and historical hideaways such as Villa San Michele in the Florentine hills. These storied destinations connected by legendary train journeys embody the essence of slow travel, where the journey is as significant as the destination.
