Details

Each of the cabins across 18 heritage carriages exudes the art deco glamour synonymous with the train, which accommodates only a limited number of guests across Historic Cabins, Suites, Grand Suites and the train’s iconic private carriage, L’Observatoire. The Grand Suites offer a decadently luxurious living, with added touches such as 24-hour butler service and free-flowing champagne throughout.

 

Décor is filled with abundant splashes of rich colours and textures that nod to the Golden Age they are inspired by, and the suites also benefit from private dining spaces and en-suite marble bathrooms. For a truly exceptional journey, L’Observatoire epitomises Belmond’s unmistakable excellence in creating magical memories.

 

Fully privatised, the exclusive-use cabin, imagined by French artist JR, spans multiple rooms, including a bedroom with a double bed, a private dining room, a bathroom with a freestanding bathtub, and a secret tearoom. Each journey is further accentuated by the exquisite culinary experiences that await on board.

 

Three opulent restaurant cars serve seasonal menus imagined by expert chefs, and gourmet dining is celebrated at Côte d’Azur, Étoile du Nord and L’Oriental, which sit alongside Bar Car 3674, the social hub of the train where champagne toasts await.
