The Train

Inspired by the ever-changing landscapes beyond the Eastern & Oriental Express, the Malaya Restaurant Car is layered with rich corals and verdant greens that echo lush forests and wild orchids. The carpet captures rolling terrain and dense jungle, woven with contemporary interpretations of traditional Malay batik to celebrate local craftsmanship.

Echoing emerald tea plantations draped across the hillsides and flowers that bloom year-round, the Adisorn Restaurant Car evokes freshness and tranquillity. An ombré green carpet woven with golden threads pays homage to the artistry of traditional Thai ikat silk, reflecting the region's rich textile heritage.

The striking Tiger Orchid, Southeast Asia's largest rare flowering orchid, inspires the vibrant Bar Car. Rich ochres, coral accents and a jungle-inspired carpet scattered with golden blooms create a warm, inviting setting.

Located at the front of the train, the Bar Car – also known as the Piano Bar – is home to a resident pianist. Open throughout the day and late into the evening, it serves cocktails, aperitifs and liqueurs, with local entertainment on selected nights.

Reflecting the timeless elegance of Belmond and Dior, the Dior Spa Car pairs Art Deco sophistication with inspiration drawn from Southeast Asia's natural beauty. Tropical woods, Dior's iconic canework motif and rose emblems – honouring Christian Dior's love of flowers – create a refined, tranquil setting.

Guests are welcomed into an elegant reception before or after their treatment to discover Dior's signature wellness collection. Each treatment room blends classic Dior design with regional influences, including Toile de Jouy furnishings celebrating local icons such as the Malaysian Sacred Tiger.

Set at the very end of the train, the airy Observation Car invites relaxed moments with wicker details, playful cushions and vibrant accents. Its dedicated bar is open daily from 7am until 11pm, offering the perfect place to unwind as the landscape unfolds.

Spacious and beautifully appointed, the Presidential Suites showcase intricate marquetry, luxurious local fabrics and a generous bathroom with enhanced amenities – an elegant retreat before the evening ahead.
