For the unversed, Accor has decided to repurpose 17 historic carriages from the first Orient Express trains that Georges Nagelmackers launched in the late 1800s for the new locomotive. Orient Express 2.0, which is set to debut in 2025, has been entirely reimagined by French architect Maxime d’Angeac yet still oozes the glitz and glamor of its old-world predecessors. The newly revealed accommodation is further proof of that.
. “It is a work carved out of excess, inspired by the geniuses and pioneers of Art Deco, Jacques-Émile Ruhlmann and Armand-Albert Rateau, and by the importance of refinement and the absolute finesse of detail.”Indeed, the top-tier suite occupies an entire car from the former Nostalgie-Istanbul Orient Express. Measuring 69 feet long by nine feet wide, it offers almost 600 square feet of living space.
If that’s not enough, the Presidential Suite opens to a secondary “LX” luxury cabin from 1929. It is adorned with solid mahogany and marquetry that was found aboard the original train and meticulously restored. It also comes with two plush beds for your compadres. To top it off, the cabin opens to a secret room, known as the “Cabinet de l’Égoïste,” which is dedicated to “good vibes and epicurean festivities.
