Get away with ‘Murder On The Orient Express’ in Agatha Christie’s hotel – or train carriage
London, Istanbul, Paris and Venice await for ‘Murder On The Orient Express’ fans who stay in a Jumeirah hotel or board a Belmond train
To mark the global release of Kenneth Branagh’s Murder on the Orient Express in November, Agatha Christie fans and movie buffs have a chance to step back in time and recreate the world-famous murder mystery with Jumeirah Hotels and Resorts and Belmond’s Venice Simplon-Orient-Express.
The “Murder On The Orient Express” package begins at Jumeirah Lowndes Hotel in Belgravia, London, which was once the start of the Orient Express line.
During their stay, guests will be provided with ingredients to mix their own Grasshopper cocktail, featuring Crème de Menthe, one of detective Hercule Poirot’s favourite drinks.
Following in the footsteps of the Orient Express at Pera Palace Hotel Jumeirah in Istanbul, guests will be greeted with an Orient Express-themed cocktail. Crime novel lovers will be given a Turkish “evil eye” charm to ward off bad luck, and a copy of Christie’s novel.
The hotel was originally built to greet guests of the Orient Express; and Christie is rumoured to have written Murder on the Orient Express at the hotel.
