About Orient Express
Orient Express embodies the refined and nomadic spirit of travel. Its exceptional portfolio includes experiences such as The Orient Express, featuring iconic carriages reimagined as a modern-day tribute to French luxury; Orient Express Sailing Yachts, including the Orient Express Corinthian—the world’s largest sailing yacht; La Dolce Vita Orient Express, a train celebrating the elegance of Italian art de vivre, developed in partnership with the ARSENALE Group; and a collection of luxury hotels, including Orient Express La Minerva in Rome and the soon-to-open Orient Express Palazzo Donà Giovannelli in Venice.
While redefining the future of luxury hospitality, Orient Express places particular emphasis on the employee experience, development, and engagement.
As a symbol of ultra-luxury hospitality, the brand is currently undergoing an ambitious phase of rebirth and expansion accelerated since 2024 as a Joint Venture between ACCOR and LVMH.
Now, as Orient Express grows under the steam of its 140-year own glorious reputation and brand, it stands unique and identifiable from the other luxury brands under the ACCOR brands, aiming to become a pioneer of contemporary luxury hospitality, creating immersive experiences that combine exceptional design, impeccable service, culinary excellence, wellness offerings, cutting-edge technology, sustainability, and authentic local experiences, while also actively engaging in local community initiatives and support social causes, making a positive contribution to the destinations its properties operate in. What remains distinctly Orient Express is its spirit of adventure, sublime service and enchanting storytelling. Refreshing and reinvigorating, Orient Express is loved by those with an adventurous spirit and a taste for the very best, linking travel and destinations as part of the same journey.
As Director of Operations, you will play a critical leadership role in the delivery of operational excellence, financial, brand consistency, and growth across our global portfolio of Orient Express ultra-luxury properties — including hotels and trains. Reporting directly to the SVP Operations you will act as both a strategic advisor and hands-on operator, overseeing the daily performance of properties, supporting pre-openings, and shaping the long-term development of the business.
