Fashions change and, while the Orient Express remains the epitome of opulent travel, the famed carriages deserve a new look from time to time.
On Monday 27 October 2025, Accor shared a first look at the reborn Orient Express, marking the start of a new chapter set to begin in 2027.
The new look, reimagined by architect Maxime d’Angeac, was unveiled at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs’ landmark exhibition, 1925–2025: A Century of Art Deco, hailed as one of the most significant Art Deco showings ever staged.
This is the latest in a series of thrilling developments for Accor’s Orient Express, following the launch of La Dolce Vita Orient Express in 2025. The Golden Age of Italian design inspires the glamorous addition to the family and sees the carriages trundle through Rome, Venice, Naples and along the shores of Sicily.
