Orient-Express Hotels Ltd. (NYSE: OEH, www.orient-express.com) today stated that it has received the letter from The Indian Hotels Company Limited (IHCL) dated September 14, 2007 and included in IHCL’s SEC Schedule 13-D filing dated September 17, 2007 and has reviewed the press release issued by IHCL on the same date. Following a meeting of the Board of Directors of Orient-Express Hotels, President and Chief Executive Officer Paul White confirmed that Orient-Express Hotels’ management has not entered into strategic discussions with IHCL, the Taj hotels group or any of their affiliates.
