Basis of financial statement presentation | Basis of financial statement presentation Business The terms “Belmond” and the “Company” are used in this report to refer to Belmond Ltd. and Belmond Ltd. and its subsidiaries, unless otherwise stated. At September 30, 2017 , Belmond owned, partially-owned or managed 36 deluxe hotels and resort properties operating in the United States, Mexico, the Caribbean, Europe, Southern Africa, South America, and Southeast Asia, one stand-alone restaurant in New York, eight tourist trains in Europe, Southeast Asia and Peru, two river cruise businesses in Myanmar (Burma) and one canal boat business in France. In addition, there is one hotel, scheduled for a 2018 opening, Belmond Cadogan Hotel, in London, England. Subsequent to the balance sheet date, the Company sold the shares in Northern Belle Limited, the wholly owned subsidiary that owns the rolling stock, on November 2, 2017 and provided notice of termination to the owner of Belmond Orcaella in respect of its charter agreement in October 2017. See Note 24. Basis of presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for quarterly reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the management of the Company, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, operating results and cash flows for the interim period have been included in these condensed consolidated financial statements. The interim results presented are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any subsequent interim period or the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017 . These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 . See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in the 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding significant accounting policies. For interim reporting purposes, Belmond calculates its tax expense by estimating its global annual effective tax rate and applies that rate in providing for income taxes on a year-to-date basis. Belmond has calculated an expected annual effective tax rate, excluding significant or unusual items, and the tax effect of jurisdictions with losses for which a tax benefit cannot be recognized. The income tax expense (or benefit) related to all other items is individually computed and recognized when the items occur. Reclassifications In the first quarter of 2017, the Company corrected a prior period misstatement to reclassify an immaterial deferred tax entry related to a change of functional currency at the Company's Brazilian subsidiaries in 2014. As a result, opening Retained earnings increased by $5,562,000 and opening Accumulated other comprehensive income decreased by $5,562,000 , with no net change in Total Equity. There is no impact on net earnings, EPS or cash flows in any period presented. Accounting policies The accounting policies used in preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements are the same as those applied in the prior year. Accounting pronouncements to be adopted In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance which is intended to improve the comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions, and capital markets. The guidance supersedes existing revenue recognition guidance and requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Entities will have the option of using either a full retrospective approach or a modified approach to adopt the new guidance. In March 2016, the FASB issued additional guidance which amends the principal-versus-agent implementation guidance and illustrations in the original accounting pronouncement. In May 2016, the FASB issued an update that clarified guidance in certain narrow aspects of the topic. The guidance was originally effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, however in July 2015 the FASB confirmed that the effective date would be deferred by one year, to annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted only for periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company intends to adopt the standard in the annual period beginning January 1, 2018 under the modified retrospective approach with a cumulative effect recognized in equity and no prior period restatement. The initial analysis identifying areas that will be impacted by the new guidance is substantially complete and has been conducted predominantly through a review of contracts with customers under the new five step model: (1) identify the contract with a customer(s); (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. We have substantially completed our assessment and do not expect the standard to materially affect the amount or timing of revenue recognition for rooms, food and beverage and other hotel level sales, which form the majority of the Company’s revenue. We are continuing to evaluate other possible impacts to our condensed consolidated financial statements, including the impact on our unconsolidated companies, management and incentive fees and real estate sales. In February 2016, the FASB issued its new standard on accounting for leases, which introduces a lessee model that brings most leases on the balance sheet. A distinction between finance leases and operating leases is retained, with the result that the effect of leases in the statement of comprehensive income and the statement of cash flows is largely unchanged from previous lease guidance. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. Belmond is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements. In August 2016, the FASB issued new guidance which clarifies the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The new guidance will be applied on a retrospective basis where applicable. Belmond is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of the adoption of this guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements. In October 2016, the FASB issued new guidance which is intended to simplify the tax consequences of certain types of intra-entity asset transfers. The guidance is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2017, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The new guidance will be applied on a modified retrospective basis. Belmond is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements. In November 2016, the FASB issued new guidance which clarifies the classification and presentation of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted. Belmond is currently assessing what impact the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued new guidance to simplify the accounting for goodwill impairment by eliminating step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. A goodwill impairment will now be measured as the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. The guidance is effective for annual and interim impairment tests for periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for any impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. The new guidance will be applied on a prospective basis. Belmond is currently assessing what impact the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued new guidance to clarify the definition of a business. The guidance is effective in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted. The new guidance will be applied on a prospective basis. Belmond is currently assessing what impact the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements. In May 2017, the FASB issued new guidance on service concession arrangements. The guidance is effective on the same date the new revenue guidance is adopted, with early adoption permitted. Belmond is currently assessing what impact the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements. In August 2017, the FASB issued new guidance to make improvements to hedge accounting requirements. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted. Belmond is currently assessing what impact the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements. |

Significant acquisitions | Significant acquisitions 2017 Acquisitions Cap Juluca On May 26, 2017, Belmond acquired Cap Juluca, a 96 -key luxury resort on the Caribbean island of Anguilla, British West Indies for a total transaction value of $84,791,000 , including an aggregate cash purchase price of $68,652,000 , acquisition-related costs of $14,032,000 and excluding a working capital credit of $2,107,000 . On the same date, the Company assumed management of the resort, which had been independently managed, and began marketing the property under the name Belmond Cap Juluca. As one of the most recognized resorts in the Caribbean, Cap Juluca is a natural fit for the Belmond portfolio and enhances Belmond’s positioning in the global luxury resort market. The following table summarizes the consideration paid for the hotel and the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. The acquisition has been accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combination s, using the acquisition method of accounting whereby the total purchase price has been allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities as at May 26, 2017. The estimated fair values are preliminary and are subject to adjustment as the fair value analysis is finalized, which will be completed as soon as practicable, but no later than one year from the acquisition date. Fair value on May 26, 2017 $'000 Consideration: Agreed cash consideration 70,759 Less: Working capital adjustment (2,107 ) Total purchase price 68,652 Assets acquired and liabilities assumed: Cash and cash equivalents 20 Accounts receivable 112 Prepaid expenses and other 45 Inventories 108 Property, plant and equipment 59,159 Other intangible assets 6,100 Accounts payable (595 ) Accrued liabilities (360 ) Deferred revenue (1,437 ) Goodwill 5,500 Net assets acquired 68,652 The purchase price of $68,652,000 was funded from existing cash reserves and $45,000,000 of borrowings under the Company’s prior revolving credit facility, which was repaid following the amendment and restatement to the credit agreement on July 3, 2017. See Note 10. Acquisition-related costs which are included within selling, general and administrative expenses in the statements of condensed consolidated operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $14,032,000 , related to professional fees incurred in preliminary design and planning, structuring, assessment of financing opportunities, legal, tax, accounting and engineering due diligence and the negotiation of the purchase and sale agreements, and other ancillary documents, with the principal owner and leaseholder, together with three owners of villas and separate subleases, as well as a memorandum of understanding and ground lease with the Government of Anguilla. Other intangible assets of $6,100,000 was assigned to trade names that are not subject to amortization. No other intangible assets were identified and recognized. Goodwill arising on acquisition of $5,500,000 was assigned to the Owned hotels in North America segment and consists largely of profit growth opportunities the hotel is expected to generate. None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. At the same time, the Company entered into a 125 -year ground lease for the property with the Government of Anguilla. The lease has been accounted for as an operating lease in accordance with ASC 840, Leases, with the annual rental expense recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses in the statements of condensed consolidated operations, and future rental payments committed as at September 30, 2017 disclosed in Note 18. The results of operations of the hotel has been included in the consolidated financial results since the date of acquisition. The following table presents information for Belmond Cap Juluca included in the Company’s statements of condensed consolidated operations from the acquisition date to the period ending September 30, 2017 : 2017 $'000 Revenue 2,395 Losses from continuing operations (14,996 ) Belmond is unable to provide pro forma results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2016 due to the lack of reliable historical financial information. |

Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract] | |
Assets held for sale and discontinued operations | Assets held for sale and discontinued operations (a) Results of discontinued operations Belmond had been operating the hotel Ubud Hanging Gardens under a long-term lease arrangement with a third-party owner. The existing lease arrangement continues to 2030. Following the owner's unannounced dispossession of Belmond from the hotel in November 2013, however, Belmond was unable to continue to operate the hotel. Belmond believed that the owner's actions were unlawful and constituted a wrongful dispossession and has pursued its legal remedies under the lease. See Note 18. As Belmond is unable to operate Ubud Hanging Gardens for the foreseeable future, the hotel has been presented as a discontinued operation for all periods shown. The assets and liabilities of the hotel have not been classified as held for sale, as the hotel has not been disposed of through a sale transaction. The Porto Cupecoy development was sold in January 2013, with the final unit disposed of in September 2014. Residual costs relating to the sale of Porto Cupecoy are presented within discontinued operations for all periods shown. Summarized operating results of the properties classified as discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 are as follows: Three months ended September 30, 2017 Ubud Hanging Gardens Porto Cupecoy Total $'000 $'000 $'000 Revenue — — — Losses before tax, gain on sale and impairment — (3 ) (3 ) Losses before tax — (3 ) (3 ) Net losses from discontinued operations — (3 ) (3 ) Three months ended September 30, 2016 Ubud Hanging Gardens Porto Cupecoy Total $'000 $'000 $'000 Revenue — — — Losses before tax, gain on sale and impairment — (4 ) (4 ) Losses before tax — (4 ) (4 ) Net losses from discontinued operations — (4 ) (4 ) Nine months ended September 30, 2017 Ubud Hanging Gardens Porto Cupecoy Total $'000 $'000 $'000 Revenue — — — Earnings before tax, gain on sale and impairment 100 25 125 Earnings before tax 100 25 125 Net earnings from discontinued operations 100 25 125 Nine months ended September 30, 2016 Ubud Hanging Gardens Porto Cupecoy Total $'000 $'000 $'000 Revenue — — — Earnings/(losses) before tax, gain on sale and impairment 73 (22 ) 51 Earnings/(losses) before tax 73 (22 ) 51 Net earnings/(losses) from discontinued operations 73 (22 ) 51 The results of discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 included earnings of $100,000 due to the partial release of legal fee accruals in relation to Ubud Hanging Gardens, where Belmond is pursuing legal remedies following its dispossession by the owner in November 2013. See Note 18. (b) Assets and liabilities held for sale At September 30, 2017 , the assets and liabilities of Belmond Northern Belle, part of Belmond’s Owned trains and cruises segment, were classified as held for sale as Belmond signed a Share Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) to sell the shares in Northern Belle Limited, the wholly owned subsidiary that owns the rolling stock, for a sales price of £2,500,000 (equivalent to $3,350,000 as at September 30, 2017 ). This sale closed on November 2, 2017. See Note 24. Assets and liabilities of properties classified as held for sale consist of the following: September 30, Northern Belle $’000 Current assets 259 Property, plant and equipment 3,570 Total assets held for sale 3,829 Current liabilities (553 ) Other liabilities (385 ) Total liabilities held for sale (938 ) There were no assets or liabilities classified as held for sale at December 31, 2016 . |

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Variable interest entities | Variable interest entities (a) VIEs of which Belmond is the primary beneficiary Belmond holds a 19.9% equity investment in Charleston Center LLC, owner of Belmond Charleston Place, Charleston, South Carolina. Belmond has also made a number of loans to the hotel. Belmond concluded that Charleston Center LLC is a VIE because the total equity at risk is insufficient for the entity to fund its operations without additional subordinated financial support, the majority of which has been provided by Belmond. Belmond is the primary beneficiary of this VIE because it is expected to absorb a majority of the VIE’s expected losses and residual gains through the subordinated financial support it has provided, and has the power to direct the activities that impact the VIE’s performance, based on the current organizational structure. Assets of Charleston Center LLC that can only be used to settle obligations of the consolidated VIEs and liabilities of Charleston Center LLC whose creditors have no recourse to Belmond are presented as a footnote to the consolidated balance sheets. The third-party debt of Charleston Center LLC is secured by its net assets and is non-recourse to its members, including Belmond. The hotel's separate assets are not available to pay the debts of Belmond and the hotel's separate liabilities do not constitute obligations of Belmond. The assets of Charleston Center LLC that can be used only to settle obligations of Charleston Center LLC totaled $207,745,000 at September 30, 2017 ( December 31, 2016 - $210,276,000 ) and exclude goodwill of $40,395,000 ( December 31, 2016 - $40,395,000 ). The liabilities of Charleston Center LLC for which creditors do not have recourse to the general credit of Belmond totaled $122,283,000 at September 30, 2017 ( December 31, 2016 - $121,621,000 ). All deferred taxes attributable to the Company’s investment in the LLC arise at the investor level and are therefore not included in the footnote to the condensed consolidated balance sheets. (b) VIEs of which Belmond is not the primary beneficiary Belmond holds a 25% equity investment in Eastern and Oriental Express Ltd., which operates the Eastern & Oriental Express luxury tourist train in Southeast Asia. Belmond concluded that the Eastern & Oriental Express joint venture is a variable interest entity because the total equity at risk is insufficient for it to fund its operations without additional subordinated financial support. Belmond is not the primary beneficiary of the joint venture because it does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entity. The joint venture is accounted for under the equity method of accounting and included in earnings/(losses) before income taxes and earnings from unconsolidated companies in the statements of condensed consolidated operations. The carrying amounts and maximum exposure to loss as a result of Belmond's involvement with its Eastern & Oriental Express joint venture are as follows: Carrying amounts Maximum exposure September 30, December 31, September 30, December 31, $’000 $’000 $’000 $’000 Investment 2,586 2,818 2,586 2,818 Due from unconsolidated company 6,681 4,771 6,681 4,771 Total 9,267 7,589 9,267 7,589 |

Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract] | |
Investments in unconsolidated companies | Investments in unconsolidated companies Investments in unconsolidated companies represent equity interests of 50% or less and in which Belmond exerts significant influence, but does not have effective control of these unconsolidated companies and, therefore, accounts for these investments using the equity method. As at September 30, 2017 , these investments include the 50% ownership in rail and hotel joint venture operations in Peru, the 25% ownership in Eastern and Oriental Express Ltd, and the Buzios land joint venture which is 50% owned and is further described below. In June 2007, a joint venture in which Belmond holds a 50% equity interest acquired real estate in Buzios, a beach resort area in Brazil, for a cash consideration of $5,000,000 . Belmond planned to build a hotel and villas on the acquired land and to purchase the remaining share of the joint venture company when the building permits were obtained from the local authorities. In February 2009, the Municipality of Buzios commenced a process for the expropriation of the land in exchange for a payment of fair compensation to the joint venture. In April 2011, the State of Rio de Janeiro took over the expropriation process as part of a broader State plan to develop a coastal environmental park. Under applicable law, the State had five years to carry out the expropriation in exchange for fair value, which it failed to do by the April 18, 2016 deadline. As a result, the land returned unencumbered to the joint venture, although it is subject to expropriation again. The Company and its joint venture partner are assessing their options, including negotiation with or litigation against the State to seek a permanent resolution of the status of the land, but in any case, the Company expects to recover its investment in the project. Summarized financial data for Belmond’s unconsolidated companies are as follows: September 30, December 31, $’000 $’000 Current assets 94,722 96,247 Property, plant and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation 307,383 295,662 Other non-current assets 29,153 29,442 Non-current assets 336,536 325,104 Total assets 431,258 421,351 Current liabilities, including $23,949 and $21,021 current portion of third-party debt 98,759 89,785 Long-term debt 147,424 153,876 Other non-current liabilities 28,106 27,545 Non-current liabilities 175,530 181,421 Total shareholders’ equity 156,969 150,145 Total liabilities and shareholders’ equity 431,258 421,351 Three months ended Nine months ended September 30, September 30, September 30, September 30, $’000 $’000 $’000 $’000 Revenue 59,085 54,345 153,685 140,697 Gross profit 1 41,163 39,670 106,134 98,435 Net earnings 2 7,567 8,980 15,115 15,071 1 Gross profit is defined as revenues less cost of services of the unconsolidated companies. 2 There were no discontinued operations or cumulative effects of a change in an accounting principle in the unconsolidated companies. Included in unconsolidated companies are Belmond’s hotel and rail joint ventures in Peru, under which Belmond and the other 50% participant must contribute equally additional equity needed for the businesses. If the other participant does not meet this obligation, Belmond has the right to dilute the other participant and obtain a majority equity interest in the affected joint venture company. Belmond also has rights to purchase the other participant’s interests, which rights are exercisable in limited circumstances such as the other participant’s bankruptcy. There are contingent guarantees to unconsolidated companies which are not recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The contingent guarantees for each Peruvian joint venture may only be enforced in the event there is a change in control of the relevant joint venture, which would occur only if Belmond’s ownership of the economic and voting interests in the joint venture falls below 50% , an event which has not occurred and is not expected to occur. As at September 30, 2017 , Belmond does not expect that it will be required to fund these guarantees relating to these joint venture companies. Belmond has contingently guaranteed, through 2021 , $16,334,000 of debt obligations of the joint venture in Peru that operates five hotels and has contingently guaranteed the Peru rail joint venture’s obligations relating to the performance of its governmental rail concessions, currently in the amount of $9,899,000 , through May 2018 . |

Property, plant and equipment | Property, plant and equipment The major classes of property, plant and equipment are as follows: September 30, December 31, $’000 $’000 Land and buildings 1,128,068 1,010,362 Machinery and equipment 182,532 179,537 Fixtures, fittings and office equipment 263,904 235,098 River cruise ship and canal boats 13,296 18,618 1,587,800 1,443,615 Less: Accumulated depreciation (420,285 ) (368,939 ) Total property, plant and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation 1,167,515 1,074,676 The depreciation charge on property, plant and equipment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $16,916,000 ( September 30, 2016 - $13,038,000 ) and $45,458,000 ( September 30, 2016 - $39,165,000 ). The table above includes property, plant and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation, of Charleston Center LLC, a consolidated VIE, of $198,643,000 at September 30, 2017 ( December 31, 2016 - $201,861,000 ). In September 2017 the islands of Anguilla and St Martin were hit by Hurricanes Irma and Jose when both Belmond La Samanna on St Martin and Belmond Cap Juluca on Anguilla were closed for the season. While there is still great uncertainty associated with St Martin and the speed of its recovery, based on our preliminary assessment, we anticipate that Belmond La Samanna will re-open in the fourth quarter of 2018. Belmond Cap Juluca is undergoing planned renovations and we also currently expect to re-open the resort in the fourth quarter of 2018. Both properties are included in Belmond’s global insurance program which provides a combined property damage and twelve month business interruption cover of $30,000,000 , subject to a deductible. In addition, Belmond La Samanna has a separate property damage insurance policy of €4,900,000 (equivalent to $5,800,000 as at September 30, 2017 ) covering the eight villas at the resort. We have made preliminary assessments regarding the nature and extent of the damage sustained and we are preparing the insurance claim. While these assessments are fluid and will continue to be updated and reassessed, they are subject to a number of uncertainties related to such matters as the speed of the recovery of St Martin and Anguilla and the impact of the hurricane on fuel, transportation and labor prices over the coming year. Based on our preliminary estimate at this time, we anticipate that the property damage elements of the claim alone could absorb the available cover, which therefore would not be sufficient to cover business interruption claims of approximately $8,000,000 to $10,000,000 over the next 12 months. Based on initial estimates of the level of property damage, the Company recorded a write-off to property, pla nt and equipment of $5,645,000 and $2,937,000 at Belmond La Samanna and Belmond Cap Juluca, respectively. Belmond expects that the recovery of property damage and site clean-up costs is probable; therefore it has recorded an insurance receivable for the same amount as the property damage that has been recognized in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 , reduced by the deductible of $1,278,000 . No gain contingencies have been recorded to date as those amounts have not yet been realized. Additionally, Belmond considered whether the significant adverse change in use and physical condition following the hurricanes indicated that the carrying amount of both businesses’ fixed assets may not be recoverable. Belmond concluded that an impairment trigger existed and a recoverability test was required. Under the fixed assets recoverability test, the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the operations of Belmond Cap Juluca and Belmond La Samanna were in excess of their carrying value. As at September 30, 2017 , Belmond La Samanna and Belmond Cap Juluca had a property, plant and equipment balance of $29,625,000 and $56,448,000 , respectively. Factors that could reasonably be expected to impact Belmond’s estimates of property damage and the sum of undiscounted cash flows of the asset groups include the outcome of negotiations of the Company’s insurance claims with the Company’s insurers, the speed of recovery of island infrastructure, particularly the airport at St Martin, and the attractiveness of the Caribbean islands as a tourist destination. The Company also believes this situation presents an opportunity to re-examine proposed capital expenditures for Belmond Cap Juluca and Belmond La Samanna, potentially increasing the scope of the projects but also increasing the impact of the ultimate build-outs. This re-examination, which will continue to be updated, is subject to a number of uncertainties, such as the speed of the recovery of St Martin and Anguilla and the impact of the hurricane on fuel, transportation and labor prices over the coming year. In the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , Belmond considered whether the decline in performance of Belmond Road to Mandalay caused by increased competition in Myanmar indicated that the carrying amount of the business’ fixed assets may not be recoverable. Belmond concluded that an impairment trigger existed and an impairment test was required. The carrying value of assets was written down to management’s best estimate of the fair value based on an internally developed discounted cash flow analysis. The impairment charge of $7,124,000 is included within impairment of property, plant and equipment in the statements of consolidated operations. Also in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , Belmond considered whether the decline in performance of Belmond Northern Belle caused by a reduction in passenger numbers sourced mainly from regional markets in the U.K. indicated that the carrying amount of the business’ fixed assets may not be recoverable. Belmond concluded that an impairment trigger existed and an impairment test was required. The carrying value of assets was written down to fair value based on assumptions of potential market value. The impairment charge of $1,092,000 is included within impairment of property, plant and equipment in the statements of consolidated operations. There was no capitalized interest in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 . |

See Note 3. In the three months ended September 30, 2017 , Belmond considered whether the significant adverse change in use and physical condition following the hurricanes, indicated that it was more likely than not that the fair value of Belmond Cap Juluca was less than its carrying value. Under the first step of the goodwill impairment test, the fair value of Belmond Cap Juluca was in excess of its carrying value. Belmond Cap Juluca had a goodwill balance of $5,500,000 at September 30, 2017 . The impairment test remains sensitive to changes in assumptions; factors that could result in an impairment and impact the fair value of the reporting unit include the outcome of negotiations of the Company’s insurance claims with the Company’s insurers, changes in the estimated costs of repair to the hotel, the future operating projections of the hotel, the speed of recovery of island infrastructure, particularly the airport at St. Martin, and the attractiveness of the Caribbean islands as a tourist destination. These assumptions involve a high degree of estimation and are based on preliminary information that is currently available. As new information becomes available these assumptions may need to change which may lead to changes in cash inflows or outflows that could result in a future impairment of goodwill. In the three months ended September 30, 2017 , Belmond considered whether the fall in tourist arrivals in Myanmar due to negative perceptions of the country, indicated that it was more likely than not that the fair value of Belmond Governor’s Residence was less than its carrying value. While Belmond concluded that there was no impairment trigger in the three months ended September 30, 2017, it is carefully monitoring the situation. Belmond Governor’s Residence had a goodwill balance of $2,195,000 at September 30, 2017 . The impairment test remains sensitive to changes in assumptions; factors that could reasonably be expected to potentially have an adverse effect on the fair value of the reporting unit include the future operating projections of the hotel, volatility in debt or equity markets that could result in changes to the discount rate, political instability, changes in future travel patterns or local competitive supply. Any failure to meet these assumptions may result in a future impairment of goodwill. |

The amended and restated credit agreement provides the Company with (i) a seven-year $603,434,000 secured term loan (the “Term Loan Facility”) that matures on July 3, 2024 and (ii) a $100,000,000 revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) that matures on July 3, 2022 (together, the “Secured Credit Facilities”). As at September 30, 2017 , Belmond is financed with a $609,955,000 Term Loan Facility and a $100,000,000 Revolving Credit Facility. The Term Loan Facility has two tranches, a U.S. dollar tranche ( $399,000,000 currently outstanding) and a euro-denominated tranche ( €178,553,000 currently outstanding, equivalent to $210,955,000 as at September 30, 2017 ). The dollar tranche bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.75% per annum, and the euro tranche bears interest at a rate of EURIBOR plus 3% per annum. Both tranches are subject to a 0% interest rate floor. The annual mandatory amortization is 1% of the principal amount. The Revolving Credit Facility has a maturity of five years and bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.50% per annum, with a commitment fee of 0.4% to be paid on the undrawn amount. The Revolving Credit Facility is undrawn at September 30, 2017 . The Secured Credit Facilities are secured by pledges of shares in certain Company subsidiaries and by security interests in tangible and intangible personal property. There are no mortgages over real estate. In June 2016, Charleston Center LLC amended its secured loan of $86,000,000 increasing the amount of the loan to $112,000,000 but retaining the original 2019 maturity. The interest rate on the new loan is LIBOR plus 2.35% per annum, has no amortization and is non-recourse to Belmond. The additional proceeds were used to repay a 1984 development loan from a municipal agency in the principal amount of $10,000,000 and accrued interest of $16,819,000 . In connection with the early repayment of the loan, Belmond negotiated a discount that resulted in a net gain reported in the statement of consolidated operations during the year ended December 31, 2016 of $1,200,000 upon extinguishment of debt, including the payment of a tax indemnity to its partners in respect of their income from the discount arising on the cancellation of indebtedness. The following is a summary of the aggregate maturities of consolidated long-term debt, including obligations under capital lease, at September 30, 2017 , taking into consideration the execution of the amended and restated credit agreement on July 3, 2017: $’000 Remainder of 2017 1,691 2018 6,761 2019 118,783 2020 6,783 2021 6,548 2022 6,499 2023 6,499 2024 and thereafter 569,337 Total long-term debt and obligations under capital lease 722,901 The Company had guaranteed $609,955,000 of the long-term debt of its subsidiary companies as at September 30, 2017 ( December 31, 2016 - $488,985,000 ).

The debt is non-recourse to Belmond and includes $112,000,000 which was refinanced in June 2016. A loss on modification of debt of $575,000 ( September 30, 2016 - $Nil ) was recognized in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 . The loss consisted of unamortized debt issuance costs relating to the amended and restated credit agreement. Debt issuance costs related to the above outstanding long-term debt were $14,592,000 at September 30, 2017 ( December 31, 2016 - $9,535,000 ), including $621,000 at September 30, 2017 ( December 31, 2016 - $888,000 ) related to the debt of Charleston Center LLC, a consolidated VIE, and are amortized to interest expense over the term of the corresponding long-term debt.

On May 31, 2006, the plan was closed for future benefit accruals. Belmond (UK) Ltd., the plan sponsor and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Belmond UK”), was previously obligated to pay £1,272,000 (equivalent to $1,704,000 at September 30, 2017 ) annually to the plan under the U.K. statutorily-mandated triennial negotiation with the plan’s trustees. With a new triennial arrangement that came into effect June 2017, Belmond UK’s funding obligation was reduced from £106,000 to £24,320 (equivalent to $142,000 and $33,000 as at September 30, 2017 ) per month. Under the prior contribution level, the plan’s funding deficit was projected to be fully funded by the end of 2017. With the current funding level, Belmond UK is obligated to continue funding until the audited financials of the plan for the year ended December 31, 2018 are available. If no unfunded balance remains, Belmond UK shall be able to suspend further payments, but otherwise it will be expected to continue paying its monthly contribution, subject to any subsequent triennial negotiation with the plan’s trustees. However, once the plan is fully funded, Belmond UK will remain obligated to restore the plan to a fully funded balance over the remainder of the period through December 31, 2021 should its position deteriorate. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 , contributions of $61,000 ( September 30, 2016 - $442,000 ) and $856,000 ( September 30, 2016 - $1,352,000 ), respectively, were made to the pension plan. In May 2014, Belmond guaranteed the payment obligations of Belmond UK through 2023, subject to a cap of £8,200,000 (equivalent to $10,988,000 at September 30, 2017 ), which reduces commensurately with every payment made to the plan since December 31, 2012. As part of the recent triennial negotiation referred to above, Belmond has reinstated this guarantee effective July 1, 2017, for the period through 2026 and reset the cap from December 31, 2015 at £8,200,000 , which as before will reduce with each payment made to the plan over the period. |

Income taxes | Income taxes In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 , the income tax provision was $20,732,000 ( September 30, 2016 - provision of $20,401,000 ) and $17,608,000 ( September 30, 2016 - provision of $25,140,000 ), respectively. The movement in the tax provision and effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 is mainly due to the jurisdictional profit mix of earnings from continuing operations, which have decreased compared to the prior year and have also been impacted by the costs associated with the Cap Juluca acquisition in May 2017.

Share-based compensation plans | Share-based compensation plans At September 30, 2017 , Belmond had two share-based compensation plans, the 2004 stock option plan and the 2009 share award and incentive plan. The compensation cost that has been charged to selling, general and administrative expense for these plans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $1,471,000 ( September 30, 2016 - $2,109,000 ) and $5,025,000 ( September 30, 2016 - $5,258,000 ), respectively. The total compensation cost related to unexercised options and unvested share awards at September 30, 2017 to be recognized over the period October 1, 2017 to June 30, 2021 was $7,865,000 and the weighted average period over which it is expected to be recognized is 28 months . Measured from the grant date, substantially all awards of restricted shares have a maximum term of up to four years, and substantially all awards of share options have a maximum term of ten years. There were no grants under the 2004 stock option plan during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 . 2009 share award and incentive plan During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , the following awards were made under the 2009 share award and incentive plan on the following dates.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and contingencies | Commitments and contingencies Belmond Copacabana Palace In February 2013, the State of Rio de Janeiro Court of Justice affirmed a 2011 decision of a Rio state trial court against Sea Containers Ltd (“SCL”) in lawsuits brought against SCL by minority shareholders in Companhia Hoteis Palace (“CHP”), the company that owns Belmond Copacabana Palace, relating to the recapitalization of CHP in 1995, but the Court reduced the total award against SCL to approximately $27,000,000 . SCL further appealed the judgments during the second quarter of 2013 to the Superior Court of Justice in Brasilia. SCL sold its shares in CHP to the Company in 2000. Years later, in 2006, SCL entered insolvency proceedings in the U.S. and Bermuda that are continuing in Bermuda. Possible claims could be asserted against the Company or CHP in connection with this Brazilian litigation that has to date only involved SCL, although no claims have been asserted. As a precautionary measure to defend the hotel, CHP commenced a declaratory lawsuit in the Rio state court in December 2013 seeking judicial declarations that no fraud was committed against the SCL plaintiffs when the shares in CHP were sold to the Company in 2000 and that the sale of the shares did not render SCL insolvent. Pending rulings on those declarations, the court granted CHP an injunction preventing the SCL plaintiffs from provisionally enforcing their 2011 judgments against CHP, which judgment was subsequently reversed on appeal in May 2014. In September 2014, CHP sought reconsideration from the appellate court of this decision, but the court dismissed its request, resulting in the return of the declaratory lawsuit proceedings to the Rio State Court. Management cannot estimate the range of possible loss if the SCL plaintiffs assert claims against the Company or CHP, and Belmond has made no accruals in respect of this matter. If any such claims were brought, Belmond would continue to defend its interests vigorously. Ubud Hanging Gardens In November 2013, the third-party owner of Ubud Hanging Gardens in Bali, Indonesia dispossessed Belmond from the hotel under long-term lease without prior notice. As a result, Belmond was unable to continue operating the hotel and, accordingly, to prevent any confusion to its guests, Belmond ceased referring to the property in its sales and marketing materials, including all electronic marketing. Belmond believed that the owner's actions were unlawful and in breach of the lease arrangement and constituted a wrongful dispossession. Belmond pursued its legal remedies through arbitration proceedings required under the lease. In June 2015, a Singapore arbitration panel issued its final award in favor of Belmond, holding that the owner had breached Indonesian law and the lease, and granting monetary damages and costs to the Company in an amount equal to approximately $8,500,000 . Since its receipt of the arbitral award, Belmond has been engaged in the process of enforcing this arbitral award in the Indonesian courts. Starting in April 2014, the Indonesian trial courts have dismissed six separate actions filed by the owner for lack of jurisdiction due to the arbitration clause in the parties’ lease. The owner has appealed these decisions, one of which was reversed by the Appellate Court in October 2014. Belmond appealed this case to the Indonesian Supreme Court, which in December 2016 affirmed the Appellate Court's decision. Belmond has sought review for reconsideration by the Supreme Court. In the meantime, Belmond filed with the Central Jakarta District Court in October 2017, as further support for the enforcement of Belmond’s arbitral claim, the decisions of three Indonesian trial courts enforcing the arbitration provision under the lease and ruling that the Indonesian courts had no jurisdiction over the parties’ 2013 dispute, along with three affirming decisions from appellate courts and two from the Indonesian Supreme Court. Belmond does not believe there is any merit in the owner’s outstanding Indonesian actions and is vigorously defending its rights while it seeks to enforce the Singapore arbitral award. While the Company can give no assurances, it believes that it should ultimately be able to enforce its arbitral award. Given the uncertainty involved in this litigation, Belmond recorded in the year ended December 31, 2013, a non-cash impairment charge in the amount of $7,031,000 relating to long-lived assets and goodwill of Ubud Hanging Gardens and has not booked a receivable in respect of the award. As supplemental proceedings to its arbitration claim, Belmond commenced contempt proceedings in the High Court in London, England, where the owner resided, for pursuing the Indonesian proceedings contrary to an earlier High Court injunction, and obtained against the owner in July 2014 a contempt order, which subsequently resulted in the court issuing a committal order of imprisonment for 120 days. The owner left England before the court order was issued and has not yet served the sentence. Belmond Hotel das Cataratas In September 2014, the Brazilian Ministry of Planning, Budget and Management notified the Company that it was denying the Company's application to extend the term or reduce the rent under the lease for Belmond Hotel das Cataratas, which was entered into in 2007. Belmond had applied for the amendment in 2009 based on its claim that it suffered additional unanticipated and/or unforeseeable costs in performing the refurbishment of the hotel as required by the lease and related tender documentation in order to raise the standard of the property to a five star luxury standard. Prior to August 2014, with the agreement of the Ministry, the Company had been paying the base annual rent without an annual adjustment for inflation as provided for in the lease, pending resolution of Belmond’s application. Throughout this period, the Company had expensed the full rental amount and has fully accrued the difference between the rental charge and the amount actually paid. Based on the Ministry’s decision denying any relief, the Ministry directed the Company that it would henceforth assess rent at the contractual rate, which has been included in the table of future rental payments as at September 30, 2017 , and that it was required to pay the difference between the contractual rent and the rent that had been actually paid. On March 20, 2015, the Ministry provided notice to the hotel that an aggregate amount of approximately R$17,000,000 ( $5,366,000 ) was due on March 31, 2015 as a result of its rejection of any relief sought by Belmond. The Company appealed to the Ministry to reconsider its decision on both procedural and substantive grounds. Pending this requested reconsideration and exhaustion of administrative remedies, the Company did not pay to the Ministry the amount claimed. The Company filed a lawsuit in the Federal Court in Paraná State in August 2016 against the Government of Brazil regarding the Ministry’s failure to properly consider and modify the lease concession for Belmond Hotel das Cataratas. The Federal Court granted the Company’s request for an injunction against the Government enforcing its claim and granted the Company’s request for a 25% preliminary reduction in rent, pending a decision on the merits, which the Superior Court upheld on appeal in a decision rendered in September 2016. The Government appealed to a three-judge panel of the Superior Court, which upheld the decision of the Federal Court in favor of the Company in a judgment rendered in January 2017. On October 17, 2017, the Federal Court issued a decision denying the Company’s claim for modification of the lease concession. The Court ruled although the lease is an administration agreement rather than a simple commercial lease, the Company had not overcome its burden of proof to show that a modification was justified. The Court further ordered that the Company must pay the stated rent in the lease rather than the reduced rent set by the original first instance Court in September 2016. The Court also revoked the injunction issued in September 2016 that had been subsequently affirmed on appeal prohibiting the Federal Government from pursuing a claim against the Company to recover the difference between the stated lease rent and the amounts the Company actually paid during the period from 2009 to 2014. As a result, the Federal Government could seek immediately to enforce its claim for allegedly unpaid lease obligations. The Company has reserved against this claim, and this accrual as at September 30, 2017 totaled R$24,368,000 ( $7,692,000 ). The Company does not believe that any loss above the amounts accrued is likely. The Company intends to vigorously contest this ruling on appeal. Belmond Miraflores Park The Company is contesting a claim against Belmond Miraflores Park Hotel (“BMP”) by the municipality of Miraflores in Lima, Peru, where the BMP is located. The municipality alleges that BMP has generated noise and vibrations in violation of municipal nuisance ordinances resulting in the disturbance of certain apartment owners in an adjoining residential building. The local administrative court ruled in favor of the municipality, and levied a nominal fine and issued an order for injunctive relief that included the potential closure of BMP pending the elimination of the noise and vibrations. In March 2016, after the administrative court’s ruling was affirmed at the trial court and subsequently, the appellate court level, BMP appealed to the Supreme Court of Peru. Enforcement of the ruling of the appellate court has been stayed pending the Supreme Court appeal. On June 29, 2017, the Supreme Court issued a decision accepting BMP’s appeal rather than, as BMP had expected, summarily affirming the appellate court decision. Consequently, BMP expects that the Supreme Court will issue its opinion on this matter in the latter half of 2018. Management believes that the risk of closure of BMP is remote because BMP will have completed its remediation by the time the Supreme Court issues its decision and expects to be in compliance with municipal nuisance ordinances at that time. BMP has other alternatives that it could pursue to resolve this matter if BMP is not compliant by the time of the Supreme Court decision. Accordingly, management does not believe that a material loss is probable and no accrual has been made in respect of this matter. “Cipriani” Trademark In May 2010, after prevailing in litigation at the trial and appellate court levels, Belmond settled litigation in the United Kingdom for infringement of its U.K. and Community (European wide) registrations for the “Cipriani” trademark. Defendants paid the amount of $3,947,000 to Belmond in March 2010 with the balance of $9,833,000 being payable in installments over five years with interest. Belmond received the final payment in the amount of $1,178,000 in June 2015. Subsequent to Belmond’s success before the U.K. courts, there have arisen a number of European trademark opposition and infringement cases relating to Belmond "Cipriani" and "Hotel Cipriani" Community trademarks. These include an ongoing invalidity action filed by Arrigo Cipriani in the European Trade Mark Office against Belmond’s "Cipriani" Community trademark. To date, Belmond has successfully rebutted this challenge at every level of administrative appeal, including before the EU General Court in Luxembourg which issued a decision on June 29, 2017 dismissing the Arrigo Cipriani appeal and ordering that appellant pay the costs of the court and the Company. Belmond has recently been successful in securing the cancellation in Portugal of a trademark application filed by an affiliated company of the Cipriani family for “Cipriani”. Belmond has also been successful in obtaining cancellations of "Cipriani" trademark applications made by the Cipriani family's corporate entity in Russia. In addition, there are a number of ongoing trademark disputes with the Cipriani family in Italy: in January 2015, the Cipriani family and affiliated entities commenced proceedings against Belmond in the Court of Venice, asserting that a 1967 agreement pursuant to which the family sold their interest in the Hotel Cipriani constituted a coexistence agreement allowing both the Company to use “Hotel Cipriani”, and the Cipriani family to use “Cipriani” and in August 2015, pursuant to a separate claim filed by the Cipriani family, the Court of Venice ruled in favor of the Cipriani family, determining that their use of their full name (rather than just an initial with their surname), would not constitute infringement of the Company’s registered trademark. The Court’s ruling purports to apply to hotels and restaurants on an EU-wide basis (other than the U.K.) rather than only Italy. The Company has appealed this decision. Final briefs were filed in October 2017 with the respective courts for each of these two Italian proceedings with the expectation that a decision in each case will be forthcoming in the first quarter of 2018. While Belmond believes that it has meritorious cases in all of these Italian proceedings, Belmond cannot estimate the range of possible additional loss to Belmond if it should not prevail in any or all of these cases and Belmond has made no accruals in these matters. Separate proceedings brought by Belmond in Spain to defend Belmond’s marks against a use by the Cipriani family and its affiliated entities of “Cipriani” to promote a restaurant have been stayed pending the outcome of the Venice appeal. The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are parties to various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. These proceedings generally include matters relating to labor disputes, tax claims, personal injury cases, lease negotiations and ownership disputes. The outcome of each of these matters cannot be determined with certainty, and the liability that the relevant parties may ultimately incur with respect to any one of these matters in the event of a negative outcome may be in excess of amounts currently accrued for with respect to these matters. Where a reasonable estimate can be made, the additional losses or range of loss that may be incurred in excess of the amount recognized from the various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business are disclosed separately for each claim, including a reference to where it is disclosed. However, for certain of the legal proceedings, management is unable to estimate the loss or range of loss that may result from these claims due to the highly complex nature or early stage of the legal proceedings. Belmond has granted to James Sherwood, a former director of the Company, a right of first refusal to purchase the Belmond Hotel Cipriani in Venice, Italy in the event Belmond proposes to sell it. The purchase price would be the offered sale price in the case of a cash sale or the fair market value of the hotel, as determined by an independent valuer, in the case of a non-cash sale. Mr. Sherwood has also been granted an option to purchase the hotel at fair market value if a change in control of the Company occurs. Mr. Sherwood may elect to pay 80% of the purchase price if he exercises his right of first refusal, or 100% of the purchase price if he exercises his purchase option, by a non-recourse promissory note secured by the hotel payable in ten equal annual installments with interest at LIBOR . This right of first refusal and purchase option are not assignable and expire one year after Mr. Sherwood’s death. These agreements relating to Belmond Hotel Cipriani between Mr. Sherwood and Belmond and its predecessor companies have been in place since 1983 and were last amended and restated in 2005. Capital Commitments Outstanding contracts to purchase property, plant and equipment were approximately $11,046,000 at September 30, 2017 ( December 31, 2016 - $7,772,000 ). Future rental payments and rental expense under operating leases Future rental payments as at September 30, 2017 under operating leases in respect of equipment rentals and leased premises are payable as follows: $’000 Remainder of 2017 3,191 2018 12,574 2019 11,208 2020 11,252 2021 11,756 2022 9,630 2023 and thereafter 143,711 Future rental payments under operating leases 203,322 Rental expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 amounted to $3,917,000 ( September 30, 2016 - $3,491,000 ) and $11,161,000 ( September 30, 2016 - $9,604,000 ), respectively. |

Fair value measurements | Fair value measurements (a) Financial instruments recorded at fair value The following tables summarize the valuation of Belmond’s financial instruments recorded at fair value by the fair value hierarchy at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 : Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total September 30, 2017 $’000 $’000 $’000 $’000 Assets at fair value: Derivative financial instruments — 154 — 154 Total assets — 154 — 154 Liabilities at fair value: Derivative financial instruments — (1,593 ) — (1,593 ) Total net liabilities — (1,439 ) — (1,439 ) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total December 31, 2016 $’000 $’000 $’000 $’000 Assets at fair value: Derivative financial instruments — — — — Total assets — — — — Liabilities at fair value: Derivative financial instruments — (3,364 ) — (3,364 ) Total net liabilities — (3,364 ) — (3,364 ) During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 , there were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy. (b) Other financial instruments Certain methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments. The carrying amount of current assets and current liabilities as disclosed on the condensed consolidated balance sheets approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of those instruments. The fair value of Belmond's long-term debt, excluding interest rate swaps and caps, is determined using the contractual cash flows and credit-adjusted discount curves. The fair value of the debt is the present value of those contractual cash flows which are discounted at the current market cost of debt and adjusted for the credit spreads. Credit spreads take into consideration general market conditions, maturity and collateral. The estimated carrying values, fair values, and levels of the fair value hierarchy of Belmond's long-term debt as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were as follows: September 30, 2017 December 31, 2016 Carrying Fair value Carrying Fair value Total long-term debt, before deduction of discount on secured term loan and debt issuance costs, excluding obligations under capital leases Level 3 722,874 727,661 602,083 626,613 (c) Non-financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis The estimated fair values of Belmond’s non-financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 are as follows: Fair value measurement inputs Fair value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total losses in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 $’000 $’000 $’000 $’000 $’000 Property, plant and equipment 5,955 — — 5,955 (8,216 ) Fair value measurement inputs Fair value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total losses in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 $’000 $’000 $’000 $’000 $’000 Property, plant and equipment — — — — (1,000 ) Property, plant and equipment In the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , property, plant and equipment at Belmond Road to Mandalay and Belmond Northern Belle with a combined carrying value of $14,173,000 was written down to fair value of $5,955,000 , resulting in a non-cash impairment charge of $8,216,000 . In the nine months ended September 30, 2016 , property, plant and equipment at Belmond Orcaella with a carrying amount of $1,007,000 was written down to fair value of $Nil , resulting in a non-cash impairment charge of $1,007,000 . These impairments are included in earnings from continuing operations in the period incurred. See Note 7. |

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Derivatives and hedging activities | Derivatives and hedging activities Belmond hedges its interest rate risk, ensuring that an element of its floating rate interest is fixed by using interest rate derivatives. Belmond designates these derivatives as cash flow hedges. Additionally, Belmond designates its foreign currency borrowings and currency derivatives as net investment hedges of overseas operations. In connection with the Term Loan Facility, the interest rate derivatives associated with the previous term loan facility were terminated. See Note 10. The termination costs incurred were $2,145,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2017 . All amounts in other comprehensive income/(loss) relating to these derivatives will be amortized to interest expense over the remaining original life of the interest rate derivative under ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging . New interest rate derivatives were entered into to fix an element of the floating interest rate on the Term Loan Facility. Cash flow hedges of interest rate risk As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , Belmond had the following outstanding interest rate derivatives stated at their notional amounts in local currency that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk: September 30, December 31, ’000 ’000 Interest rate swaps € 89,500 € 72,938 Interest rate swaps $ 243,000 $ 210,756 Interest rate caps $ 17,200 $ 17,200 Fair value The table below presents the fair value of Belmond’s derivative financial instruments and their classification as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 : Fair value as of September 30, 2017 Fair value as of Balance sheet location $’000 $’000 Derivatives designated in a cash flow hedging relationship: Interest rate derivatives Other assets 154 — Interest rate derivatives Accrued liabilities (1,593 ) (2,310 ) Interest rate derivatives Other liabilities — (1,054 ) Total (1,439 ) (3,364 ) Offsetting There was no offsetting within derivative assets or derivative liabilities at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 . However, these derivatives are subject to master netting arrangements. Other comprehensive income/(loss) Information concerning the movements in other comprehensive income/(loss) for cash flow hedges of interest rate risk is shown in Note 21. At September 30, 2017 , the amount accounted for in other comprehensive income/(loss) which is expected to be reclassified to interest expense in the next 12 months is $2,846,000 . Movement in other comprehensive income/(loss) for net investment hedges recorded through foreign currency translation adjustments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was a loss of $6,822,000 ( September 30, 2016 - loss of $1,955,000 ) and a loss of $19,867,000 ( September 30, 2016 - loss of $5,038,000 ). Credit-risk-related contingent features Belmond has agreements with some of its derivative counterparties that contain provisions under which, if Belmond defaults on the debt associated with the hedging instrument, Belmond could also be declared in default in respect of its derivative obligations. As of September 30, 2017 , the fair value of derivatives in a net liability position, which includes accrued interest and an adjustment for non-performance risk, related to these agreements was $1,593,000 ( December 31, 2016 - $3,364,000 ). If Belmond breached any of the provisions, it would be required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their termination value of $1,400,000 ( December 31, 2016 - $3,370,000 ). Non-derivative financial instruments — net investment hedges Belmond uses certain of its debt denominated in foreign currency to hedge portions of its net investments in foreign operations against adverse movements in exchange rates. Belmond designates its euro-denominated indebtedness as a net investment hedge of long-term investments in its euro-functional subsidiaries. These contracts are included in non-derivative hedging instruments. The notional value of non-derivative hedging instruments was $210,955,000 at September 30, 2017 , being a liability of Belmond ( December 31, 2016 - $153,472,000 ). |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segment information | Segment information Segment performance is evaluated by the chief operating decision maker based upon adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (“adjusted EBITDA”). For reporting periods prior to the quarter ended March 31, 2017, the Company disclosed certain disaggregated segment profitability information in its periodic reports in accordance with applicable U.S. GAAP accounting principles, ASC 280 Segment Reporting, in the form of earnings before gains/(losses) on disposal, impairments, central costs, interest income, interest expense, foreign currency, tax (including tax on earnings from unconsolidated companies), depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation and gains/(losses) on extinguishment of debt (“segment profit/(loss)”). This is a measure of unadjusted EBITDA and, consistent with ASC 280, has represented the way management traditionally have evaluated the operating performance of each of the Company’s reportable segments. The format of the segment performance information provided to the chief operating decision maker for these purposes has evolved over time to focus primarily on adjusted EBITDA as the key measure of segment profitability. Adjusted EBITDA excludes gains/(losses) on disposal, impairments, restructuring and other special items, interest income, interest expense, foreign currency, tax (including tax on earnings from unconsolidated companies), depreciation and amortization and gains/(losses) on extinguishment of debt. In order to better reflect management’s internal evaluation of segment performance under ASC 280, as of the quarterly reporting period ended March 31, 2017, Belmond has disclosed adjusted EBITDA in place of segment profit/(loss) as the primary metric used by the chief operating decision maker to evaluate segment performance. In management’s view, adjusted EBITDA allows the Company’s segment performance to be evaluated more effectively and on a consistent basis by removing the impact of certain items that management believes do not reflect the underlying operations. Belmond notes that adjusted EBITDA is not a term defined under GAAP. As a result, Belmond provides reconciliations to the GAAP number immediately following tables using this non-GAAP term. Belmond's operating segments are aggregated into six reportable segments primarily around the type of service being provided—hotels, trains and cruises, and management business/part ownership interests—and are secondarily organized by geography for the hotels, as follows: • Owned hotels in each of Europe, North America and Rest of world which derive earnings from the hotels that Belmond owns including its one stand-alone restaurant; • Owned trains and cruises which derive earnings from the train and cruise businesses that Belmond owns; • Part-owned/managed hotels which derive earnings from hotels that Belmond jointly owns or manages; and • Part-owned/managed trains which derive earnings from the train businesses that Belmond jointly owns or manages.

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of presentation | Basis of presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for quarterly reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the management of the Company, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, operating results and cash flows for the interim period have been included in these condensed consolidated financial statements. The interim results presented are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any subsequent interim period or the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017 . These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 . See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in the 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding significant accounting policies. For interim reporting purposes, Belmond calculates its tax expense by estimating its global annual effective tax rate and applies that rate in providing for income taxes on a year-to-date basis. Belmond has calculated an expected annual effective tax rate, excluding significant or unusual items, and the tax effect of jurisdictions with losses for which a tax benefit cannot be recognized. The income tax expense (or benefit) related to all other items is individually computed and recognized when the items occur. |
Accounting pronouncements to be adopted | Accounting pronouncements to be adopted In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance which is intended to improve the comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions, and capital markets. The guidance supersedes existing revenue recognition guidance and requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Entities will have the option of using either a full retrospective approach or a modified approach to adopt the new guidance. In March 2016, the FASB issued additional guidance which amends the principal-versus-agent implementation guidance and illustrations in the original accounting pronouncement. In May 2016, the FASB issued an update that clarified guidance in certain narrow aspects of the topic. The guidance was originally effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, however in July 2015 the FASB confirmed that the effective date would be deferred by one year, to annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted only for periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company intends to adopt the standard in the annual period beginning January 1, 2018 under the modified retrospective approach with a cumulative effect recognized in equity and no prior period restatement. The initial analysis identifying areas that will be impacted by the new guidance is substantially complete and has been conducted predominantly through a review of contracts with customers under the new five step model: (1) identify the contract with a customer(s); (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. We have substantially completed our assessment and do not expect the standard to materially affect the amount or timing of revenue recognition for rooms, food and beverage and other hotel level sales, which form the majority of the Company’s revenue. We are continuing to evaluate other possible impacts to our condensed consolidated financial statements, including the impact on our unconsolidated companies, management and incentive fees and real estate sales. In February 2016, the FASB issued its new standard on accounting for leases, which introduces a lessee model that brings most leases on the balance sheet. A distinction between finance leases and operating leases is retained, with the result that the effect of leases in the statement of comprehensive income and the statement of cash flows is largely unchanged from previous lease guidance. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. Belmond is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements. In August 2016, the FASB issued new guidance which clarifies the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The new guidance will be applied on a retrospective basis where applicable. Belmond is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of the adoption of this guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements. In October 2016, the FASB issued new guidance which is intended to simplify the tax consequences of certain types of intra-entity asset transfers. The guidance is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2017, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The new guidance will be applied on a modified retrospective basis. Belmond is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements. In November 2016, the FASB issued new guidance which clarifies the classification and presentation of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted. Belmond is currently assessing what impact the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued new guidance to simplify the accounting for goodwill impairment by eliminating step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. A goodwill impairment will now be measured as the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. The guidance is effective for annual and interim impairment tests for periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for any impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. The new guidance will be applied on a prospective basis. Belmond is currently assessing what impact the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued new guidance to clarify the definition of a business. The guidance is effective in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted. The new guidance will be applied on a prospective basis. Belmond is currently assessing what impact the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements. In May 2017, the FASB issued new guidance on service concession arrangements. The guidance is effective on the same date the new revenue guidance is adopted, with early adoption permitted. Belmond is currently assessing what impact the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements. In August 2017, the FASB issued new guidance to make improvements to hedge accounting requirements. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted. Belmond is currently assessing what impact the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements. |
Segment reporting | Segment performance is evaluated by the chief operating decision maker based upon adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (“adjusted EBITDA”). For reporting periods prior to the quarter ended March 31, 2017, the Company disclosed certain disaggregated segment profitability information in its periodic reports in accordance with applicable U.S. GAAP accounting principles, ASC 280 Segment Reporting, in the form of earnings before gains/(losses) on disposal, impairments, central costs, interest income, interest expense, foreign currency, tax (including tax on earnings from unconsolidated companies), depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation and gains/(losses) on extinguishment of debt (“segment profit/(loss)”). This is a measure of unadjusted EBITDA and, consistent with ASC 280, has represented the way management traditionally have evaluated the operating performance of each of the Company’s reportable segments. The format of the segment performance information provided to the chief operating decision maker for these purposes has evolved over time to focus primarily on adjusted EBITDA as the key measure of segment profitability. Adjusted EBITDA excludes gains/(losses) on disposal, impairments, restructuring and other special items, interest income, interest expense, foreign currency, tax (including tax on earnings from unconsolidated companies), depreciation and amortization and gains/(losses) on extinguishment of debt. In order to better reflect management’s internal evaluation of segment performance under ASC 280, as of the quarterly reporting period ended March 31, 2017, Belmond has disclosed adjusted EBITDA in place of segment profit/(loss) as the primary metric used by the chief operating decision maker to evaluate segment performance. In management’s view, adjusted EBITDA allows the Company’s segment performance to be evaluated more effectively and on a consistent basis by removing the impact of certain items that management believes do not reflect the underlying operations. Belmond notes that adjusted EBITDA is not a term defined under GAAP. As a result, Belmond provides reconciliations to the GAAP number immediately following tables using this non-GAAP term. Belmond's operating segments are aggregated into six reportable segments primarily around the type of service being provided—hotels, trains and cruises, and management business/part ownership interests—and are secondarily organized by geography for the hotels, as follows: • Owned hotels in each of Europe, North America and Rest of world which derive earnings from the hotels that Belmond owns including its one stand-alone restaurant; • Owned trains and cruises which derive earnings from the train and cruise businesses that Belmond owns; • Part-owned/managed hotels which derive earnings from hotels that Belmond jointly owns or manages; and • Part-owned/managed trains which derive earnings from the train businesses that Belmond jointly owns or manages. |
