A Beautiful World

By Linda Tancs

Derived from the French “belle” (beautiful) and “monde” (world), Belmond is the new brand name for a collection of hotels and travel experiences around the world originating from the Orient-Express banner.  The storied Venice Simplon-Orient-Express will retain its identity, however.  To celebrate the launch of the new brand, guests booking for travel by 30 June 2014 can enjoy 15% off standard rates (space permitting) across Belmond’s beautiful world.
