So, introducing Belmond, a collection of hotels, trains, river cruises, and safari lodges in stunning destinations around the globe! It’s a place where time slows down, allowing for genuine immersion and unforgettable moments.
Did you know you could arrange a truly unique incentive trip by taking guests for a once in a lifetime safari in Botswana before relaxing in The Cape Winelands at the brands beautiful Mount Nelson Hotel? Or that you could invest in team building with a bespoke culinary experience at Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons with Raymond Blanc? For the ultimate investment in exclusivity, you could even charter The Venice Simplon Orient Express for a company celebration or retreat!
During our exploration, we spoke with our client manager at Belmond, Louis Ramsey, who with previous agency experience, understands the impact of experiences that resonate long after they’ve ended. He has seen an increase in demand recently for events that offer a true return on investment with guests showing a genuine appreciation for what they have experienced. Take The British Pullman, a relatively simple concept as a luxury day train and yet every guest that departs, leaves with a huge smile on their faces, wanting to return for the next journey.
Belmond caters to a wide variety of events, including corporate retreats, incentive trips, product launches, and exclusive private celebrations. From historic hotels and vibrant city escapes to tranquil resorts and thrilling adventures, Belmond offers a diverse portfolio where every moment is an opportunity to connect, inspire, and rejuvenate.
One standout benefit to hosting your event with Belmond is the unparalleled access and customization. Guests can experience exclusive activities, curated itineraries, and personalized service, creating memories that provide lasting value and tailored to your objectives. Imagine your team against the backdrop of Machu Picchu from the Belmond Sanctuary Lodge, or a cocktail reception on the lawn of Hotel das Cataratas, with direct views of the Iguassu Falls.
What truly elevates Belmond is the commitment to making every second count. The dedicated events team works closely with each client to create bespoke experiences that exceed expectations, ensuring every detail contributes to a richly rewarding and memorable event. Plus, all Belmond properties are Earth Checked and committed to supporting their local communities and having a positive impact on their local and global environment which we know is very important when scouting your next venue.
Why do we always recommend our clients to go for exceptional venues?

With Belmond, the possibilities are endless. Whether it's a glamorous train journey, a unique location, or a cultural immersion in a far-flung destination, Belmond offers a canvas for events that are truly transformative.
