Orient Express Hotels

Accor’s ultra-luxury Orient Express hotel brand is adding Rome to its modest stable of properties. Following a complete renovation, Orient Express Rome will take the site of the Grand Hotel de la Minerve, just footsteps away from the Pantheon. The Orient Express Rome is one of five hotels “under negotiation” for the brand, with other 5-star projects earmarked for London, Paris, Milan and Florence. Accor has visions for the Orient Express brand, which it bought into in 2017, to reach ten properties by 2030.

AccorHotels has announced it will debut a new luxury hotel brand under a partnership with Orient Express. Orient Express Hotels’ first property will open in the landmark King Power Mahanakhon Building in Bangkok, Thailand, opening in the fourth quarter of 2019.
