Dream destin ation s
Since the acquisition of Hotel Cipriani in Venice 45 years ago, Belmond has been a pioneer in luxury travel, offering one-of-a-kind experiences in some of the world s most inspiring locations. Its portfolio extends across 24 coun- tries with 46 remarkable properties spanning hotels, trains, boats and safaris. Since joining the LVMH Group in 2019, Belmond has further reinforced its position as the world s most desirable luxury travel brand. From 2020, the Maison has continued to perpetuate the legendary art of travel with its renewed long-term strategy to safe- guard its precious assets for future generations. Despite a challenging year that saw travel come to a halt and temporary closures of its properties, Belmond forged ahead with sensitive restoration projects of the Grand Suites aboard the iconic Venice Simplon-Orient-Express and a major renovation of Splendido Mare in Portofino. Around the world, its properties joined forces with local charities to help communities prevent the spread of the virus. Determined to keep travel dreams alive, Belmond turned its digital platforms to provide an ave- nue of escapism, offering at-home virtual entertainment such as concerts, culinary workshops and meditation classes. With an eye on the future, the Maison continued to recognize its responsibility to nurture the creative talent and specialist skills on which its industry depends, and was once again proud to support New Designers, London s largest graduate design show. Belmond awarded two young graduates with a unique opportunity to design and produce a bespoke product for its Afloat in France that is due to complete the renovation in 2021.
