Item 1.		Security and the Issuer

		This Amendment No. 12 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D filed by D. E. Shaw Valence Portfolios, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (“Valence”), D. E. Shaw Oculus Portfolios, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (“Oculus”), D. E. Shaw & Co., L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (“DESCO LLC”), D. E. Shaw & Co., L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“DESCO LP”), and David E.

Shaw,” and together with Valence, Oculus, DESCO LLC, and DESCO LP, collectively, the “Reporting Persons”) on February 13, 2008, with the Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D filed on May 27, 2008, by Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D filed on June 3, 2008, by Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule 13D filed on August 4, 2008, by Amendment No. 4 to the Schedule 13D filed on August 25, 2008, by Amendment No. 5 to the Schedule 13D filed on September 25, 2008, by Amendment No. 6 to the Schedule 13D filed on October 3, 2008, by Amendment No. 7 to the Schedule 13D filed on October 7, 2008, by Amendment No. 8 to the Schedule 13D filed on October 15, 2008, by Amendment No. 9 to the Schedule 13D filed on November 24, 2008, by Amendment No. 10 to the Schedule 13D filed on January 14, 2009, and by Amendment No. 11 to the Schedule 13D filed on May 7, 2009 (as amended, the “Schedule 13D”), relating to the shares of Class A Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Class A Shares”), of Orient-Express Hotels Ltd. (the “Issuer”). The principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at 22 Victoria Street, P.O. Box HM 1179, Hamilton HMEX, Bermuda. Capitalized terms used herein which are not defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Schedule 13D. Except as otherwise provided herein, all Items of the Schedule 13D remain unchanged.

Item 5.		Interest in Securities of the Issuer

		Paragraphs (a) and (b) of Item 5 of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended and restated in their entirety, with effect from the date of this Amendment, as follows:

		(a), (b) The percentages used herein are based upon the 90,643,053 shares of Class A Shares (the “Common Shares”) reported to be outstanding upon the January 19, 2010 closing of the Issuer’s offering of Common Shares (as disclosed by the Issuer in its prospectus supplement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 13, 2010 and its press release dated January 19, 2010). The 2,273,300 Common Shares beneficially owned by Valence (the “Valence Shares”) represent approximately 2.5% of the Common Shares issued and outstanding. The 945,344 Common Shares beneficially owned by Oculus (the “Oculus Shares”) represent approximately 1.0% of the Common Shares issued and outstanding. The 945,378 Common Shares beneficially owned by DESCO LLC (the “DESCO LLC Shares”) represent approximately 1.0% of the Common Shares issued and outstanding. The DESCO LLC Shares are comprised of (i) the Oculus Shares and (ii) 34 Common Shares (the “Synoptic Shares”) directly held by D. E. Shaw Synoptic Portfolios 2, L.L.C (“Synoptic”). The 3,218,678 Common Shares beneficially owned by DESCO LP (the “DESCO LP Shares”) represent approximately 3.6% of the Common Shares issued and outstanding. The DESCO LP Shares are comprised of (i) the Valence Shares, (ii) the Oculus Shares, and (iii) the Synoptic Shares. Valence has the power to vote or to direct the vote of (and the power to dispose or direct the disposition of) the Valence Shares. Oculus has the power to vote or to direct the vote of (and the power to dispose or direct the disposition of) the Oculus Shares. Valence disclaims beneficial ownership of the Oculus Shares and the Synoptic Shares, and Oculus disclaims beneficial ownership of the Valence Shares and the Synoptic Shares. DESCO LP, as managing member and investment adviser of Valence and investment adviser of Oculus and Synoptic, may be deemed to have the shared power to vote or direct the vote of (and the shared power to dispose or direct the disposition of) the Valence Shares, the Oculus Shares, and the Synoptic Shares. DESCO LLC, as Oculus’ and Synoptic’s managing member, may be deemed to have the shared power to vote or direct the vote of (and the shared power to dispose or direct the disposition of) the Oculus Shares and the Synoptic Shares. As managing member of DESCO LLC, DESCO II, Inc. may be deemed to have the shared power to vote or to direct the vote of (and the shared power to dispose or direct the disposition of) the Oculus Shares and the Synoptic Shares. As general partner of DESCO LP, DESCO Inc. may be deemed to have the shared power to vote or to direct the vote of (and the shared power to dispose or direct the disposition of) the Valence Shares, the Oculus Shares, and the Synoptic Shares. None of DESCO LP, DESCO LLC, DESCO Inc., or DESCO II, Inc., owns any Common Shares directly, and each such entity disclaims beneficial ownership of the Valence Shares, the Oculus Shares, and the Synoptic Shares. David E. Shaw does not own any shares directly. By virtue of David E. Shaw’s position as President and sole shareholder of DESCO Inc., which is the general partner of DESCO LP, which in turn is the managing member and investment adviser of Valence, and the investment adviser of Oculus and Synoptic, and by virtue of David E. Shaw’s position as President and sole shareholder of DESCO II, Inc., which is the managing member of DESCO LLC, which in turn is the managing member of Oculus and Synoptic, David E. Shaw may be deemed to have the shared power to vote or direct the vote of (and the shared power to dispose or direct the disposition of) the Valence Shares, the Oculus Shares, and the Synoptic Shares. David E. Shaw disclaims beneficial ownership of the Valence Shares, the Oculus Shares, and the Synoptic Shares.

The Reporting Persons include the following information with respect to CR Intrinsic Investments, CR Intrinsic Investors LLC (“CR Intrinsic Investors”), and Steven A. Cohen (“Steven A. Cohen” and, together with CR Intrinsic Investors and CR Intrinsic Investments, collectively, the “CR Intrinsic Reporting Persons”). Any disclosures made herein with respect to persons or entities other than the Reporting Persons are made on information and belief after making inquiry to the appropriate party:

As a result of the Letter Agreement described in Item 4, the Reporting Persons and the CR Intrinsic Reporting Persons may be deemed to constitute a “group” within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b) under the Act. Pursuant to such Rule, a group is deemed to beneficially own all of the Common Shares beneficially owned by all members of the group as a whole. The Reporting Persons have been informed that, as of the close of business on January 19, 2010, the CR Intrinsic Reporting Persons beneficially owned an aggregate of 2,835,000 Common Shares, representing approximately 3.1% of Common Shares outstanding. The percentages used herein are based upon 90,643,053 Common Shares reported to be outstanding upon the January 19, 2010 closing of the Issuer’s offering of Common Shares (as disclosed by the Issuer in its prospectus supplement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 13, 2010 and its press release dated January 19, 2010). The CR Intrinsic Reporting Persons have reported their beneficial ownership on a separate Schedule 13D. Accordingly, as of the close of business on January 19, 2010, the group may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 6,053,678 Common Shares, representing approximately 6.7% of the class. Each of the Reporting Persons expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of securities held by the CR Intrinsic Reporting Persons, its affiliates and any other person or entity other than the securities reported in this Schedule 13D.

As of the date hereof, neither any Reporting Person nor, to the best knowledge of any Reporting Person, any of the persons set forth in Item 2 of the Schedule 13D, owns any Common Shares other than those set forth in this Item 5.
