Just in: England's Most Lavish Train, the British Pullman by Belmond, Is Getting a New "Cinematic" Carriage — Can You Guess Which BAFTA-Winning Filmmaker Designed It?

A middle-aged woman dressed in a bordeaux tailored jacket and big, square black glasses and a middle-aged man wearing a black shirt with unbottoned, V neck handle a series of sketches in a studio plastered in photographs and illustrations.

Belmond isn't exactly new to stellar collaborations. In the past, symmetry maestro, director Wes Anderson, reimagined the 1950s Cygnus carriage of the British Pullman, the group's ultimate Golden Age of Travel-inspired train in the UK, layering pastel colors and swan motifs in a space that defies time.

Later, French photographer and street artist JR, known for its socially engaged, black-and-white portraits showcased as colossal installations in squares across the world, decked out L'Observatoire sleeper carriage of the portfolio's Venice Simplon-Orient-Express with bespoke marquetry, a tea room, and an oculus for stargazing ahead of its 2025 launch, marking the first time a creative from that field lent his genius to the legacy of the iconic, moving hotel. Today, with the announcement of the British Pullman's most cinematic carriage yet, Celia, a new chapter in the history of luxury train rides and Belmond's own heritage begins — and it has Hollywood written all over it.
