The first carriage of “Dream of the Desert” train, has touched The Saudi soil, arriving gracefully at the Port of Jeddah. A moment both quiet and monumental. Handcrafted in Italy, born of artistry and purpose, it marks the beginning of a new chapter, the Kingdom’s first ultra-luxury train, a journey where the Arabian nights become a carriage wrapped in luxury. #tourism #luxuryhospitality #madeinitaly

Some news that makes us incredibly proud, and deeply grateful. Orient Express La Minerva has been awarded two MICHELIN Keys — a rare recognition, especially for a place so new. But while the doors opened just months ago, this journey started long before that. It began with an idea. Then came the people, dreamers, designers,hoteliers, and hosts, each one adding their touch, their time, and their care. This recognition isn’t just about beautiful architecture or elegant interiors (though we’re proud of those too). It’s about the heart behind it all. The people who show up every day to create something unforgettable for our guests. The ones who believe that hospitality is, first and foremost, about making people feel seen, welcomed, and inspired. To everyone who’s been part of this adventure so far: thank you! And to our guests — past, present, and future — we can’t wait to welcome you home to Orient Exoress La Minerva Hotel . #OrientExpressLaMinerva #MichelinKeys #WithHeart #PeopleFirst #LuxuryThatFeelsHuman #SlowTravel #Rome #Gratitude #Teamwork #OpeningChapter #OrientExpress
