Hotel Cipriani SRL and Cipriani (Grosvenor Street) Ltd

LONDON, March 2, 2010 - In a hearing before His Honour Mr Justice Briggs in the High Court in
London, Hotel Cipriani (part of Orient-Express Hotels Ltd (NYSE:OEH,
www.orient-express.com)) was today awarded GBP1,571,091 million
against Cipriani (Grosvenor Street) Ltd, the London restaurant and a further
GBP6,068,736 million against Cipriani International SA of Luxembourg, both by
way of an account of profits made from their acts of infringement of the
trade mark "Cipriani" and of passing off.

At a further hearing Mr Justice Briggs made an order to freeze the assets
of Cipriani International SA on a worldwide basis. Cipriani SA is the parent
company of the restaurant owning companies of the Cipriani family.

This follows Hotel Cipriani's successful defence last week of an appeal
by the Cipriani family against the decision of His Honour Mr Justice Arnold
in the High Court in London in December 2008 in which he found for Hotel
Cipriani in an action for trade mark infringement and passing off in respect
of the mark ''Cipriani'' for restaurant services, against the operators of
the restaurant 'Cipriani' London. The Court of Appeal refused leave to appeal
to the Supreme Court.

Cipriani (Grosvenor Street) Ltd today announced that it had filed for
administration in the UK.
