Train of Glamour is now part of EHL Alliance, becoming the first corporate member from China under the network.
The partnership is intended to support the development of luxury rail travel, with a focus on service standards, training and cross-industry collaboration. Under the agreement, the brand will work with EHL on initiatives including the development of rail service standards, talent exchange programmes and culinary concepts.
Train of Glamour operates the Silk Road Express, a tourist train designed for low-density travel with 80 guests across 38 cabins. The train runs along routes linked to the historic Silk Road, including sites recognised by UNESCO. Its design includes a hand-painted exterior developed with Tsinghua University and interiors by HBA, which received the 2024 OPAL London Outstanding Property Award (Platinum).
The collaboration will also include efforts to balance international service standards with local cultural elements, alongside participation in industry events and partnerships.
John Fang, CEO of Fosun Infrastructure Group, said: “Together with EHL, we aim to set new benchmarks for China’s luxury train travel lifestyle, guided by authentic Eastern narratives and international hospitality excellence. The Silk Road Express is a moving cultural space where travellers can experience the depth of Eastern aesthetics alongside world-class service.”
