What’s New for Belmond in 2023

This year marks a new chapter in luxury travel for Belmond, with extensive renovations of grand hotels and boats across the world. The new year sees Maroma, A Belmond Hotel, Riviera Maya in Mexico, reopening following renovations and a redesign by Tara Bernerd and her team. Splendido, A Belmond Hotel, Portofino, also begins its multiphase renovation overseen by interior designer Martin Brudnizki.

Belmond’s property rejuvenations also extend to its cruises. The newly renovated Coquelicot, A Belmond Boat, Champagne, launches May 2023, providing guests with a highly personalized journey through the Champagne region of France. Coquelicot also partners with Maison Ruinart, the world’s oldest Champagne house, to treat guests to a private tasting lunch.

This year Belmond also welcomes a new suite category on board Venice Simplon-orientexpress, A Belmond Train, Europe. Eight new suites join the collection, each honoring the dramatic landscapes through which the cabins pass. Suites retain the craftsmanship of the 1920s and ’30s, complete with private, marble, en suite bathrooms. Additionally, Venice Simplon-orient-express expands its routes across Europe. In winter 2023 guests can travel the new route from Paris to the French Alps.
