Newly Launched Belmond Invites Guests to Discover a World of Legendary Travel Experiences

Building on a legacy dating back to 1976, Belmond embraces the diversity and breadth of this exclusive portfolio, allowing guests to better identify between hotels, trains, safaris and river cruises while enticing them to explore the wider collection. Derived from the Latin for ‘beautiful ‘ and ‘world', Belmond represents a continued commitment to creating authentic travel experiences spanning city landmarks, intimate resorts and unique travel adventures.

Providing discerning travelers with exceptional service, unforgettable memories, surprising adventures and a sense of the unique remains integral to the spirit of Belmond. Many of the collection sit beside the globe's most celebrated sights – Belmond Sanctuary Lodge in Machu Picchu, Belmond Mount Nelson Hotel by Table Mountain in Cape Town and Belmond Hotel das Cataratas next to Brazil's Iguassu Falls – and Belmond continues to showcase the individuality of each of its offerings while aligning them with the broader spectrum, maximizing appeal to guests continuing on their journey of discovery.

Belmond is passionate about helping guests explore each vibrant destination to the fullest, offering an array of one-of-a-kind experiences from a hot air balloon over the pagodas of Bagan to a Shaman marriage blessing by Machu Picchu or a private tasting of Burgundy's 33 Grand Crus.

The launch of Belmond includes a stylish new website, BELMOND.COM, which aligns the collection with the new brand name and has been designed to appeal to both travelers seeking inspiration and those who already have a clear idea of their travel needs. Social media handles have also been updated to showcase the new brand across all channels, including @Belmond and the hashtag #DiscoverBelmond on Twitter. The Belmond logo features throughout the collection and includes an orbit motif, which is aptly based on mathematical principles dating back to early quests for discovery.

Established in 1976, the brand began with the iconic Belmond Hotel Cipriani in Venice followed by the fabled Venice Simplon-Orient-Express. Nearly 40 years on, the curated collection now encompasses 45 luxury hotels and travel experiences in some of the world's most celebrated destinations.
