Nestled on the edge of the vibrant Marasi Bay Marina, The Lana, Dubai, unveils a haven of quiet luxury, acting as a backdrop for elegance and serenity to coexist in perfect harmony. A part of the prestigious Dorchester Collection, this distinguished venue stands alongside legendary hotels around the globe, such as the Parisian icons Le Meurice and Hôtel Plaza Athénée or Milan’s Hotel Principe di Savoia.
While maintaining a serene sense of calm, The Lana offers effortless access to both cultural landmarks and the dynamic spectacles of the metropolis. Its name evokes warmth and belonging, complementing the thoughtfully curated comforts that echo the understated poetry of Dubai’s waters.

POSITIONAL ART
Boasting their exceptional hospitality, award-winning architects Foster & Partners conceived the property, with interiors by Parisian duo, Gilles & Boissier. Tapering floor-plates not only create visual lightness but serve climatic purpose, while seven vertical gardens form the façade, offering a sight of greenery into the height of the building.
“Building on the excitement of Dorchester Collection’s Legendary Artists’ trails, we are delighted to announce this new chapter of the series — to allow guests to discover the Dubai you can only experience first-hand through a new, fascinat- ing lens of architecture and design,” says Richard Alexander, general manager of The Lana, Dubai. “We were inspired by Dubai’s own rise from settlement to city and its ongoing desire to dream of the future while staying connected to its rich past by the creek.”

Gilles & Boissier’s interiors unveil endless layers of texture, with all 225 rooms and suites having a private balcony with a splendid view. Delicately poised on the waterfront of Marina, The Lana owns one of Dubai’s most coveted positions, where the city’s glittering skyline dissolves into the peace. Its orientation proves a rare duality — framing the world’s tallest tower, the Burj Khalifa, while also facing sunsets over the water.
A HARMONY OF WELLBEING
The meaning of wellness at The Lana rises above basic treatments to offering deeply immersive therapies that balance ancient techniques with avant-garde innovations, ensuring every visit feels both intimate and transformative. By introducing the city to its first Dior Spa — a sanctuary where design, wellness, and haute couture philosophy collide, The Lana invites guests to explore.
Combining artistry with science, the property offers thoughtfully curated treatments — from Japanese-inspired body rituals and stone therapy to precision facial care — all tailored to individual preferences. The Lana itself elevates the experience: the hotel’s striking architecture and gastronomic diversity frame the spa as a jewel within a broader vision of modern luxury. Here, wellbeing is not a mere interlude but an integral part of the stay, reimagined with a distinctly Parisian spirit that now finds its home in Dubai.
TASTE AND TOGETHERNESS
At The Lana, dining unleashes sensorial voyages through artistry, emotion, and commitment. Each of its eight restaurants and bars tells a different story — of heritage, fire, and creativity — yet together they compose a singular culinary identity that mirrors Dubai’s cosmopolitan pulse. The experience begins at Jara, where Martín Berasategui’s mastery transforms Basque traditions into edible poetry, rich with the spirit of hearth and family.

High Society redefines rooftop glamour with a seductive rhythm that shifts from tranquil daylight exclusivity to night-time allure beneath the city’s glowing towers. Down by the Marina, Angelo Musa’s Bonbon Café is a study in delicate pleasure — where patisserie becomes architecture in miniature. And at the heart of the hotel, The Gallery pulses with an effortless sociability, where morning lattes and evening teas flow into the hum of conversation and clinking glassware.
In The Lana’s lobby, Bitter Honey claims its space as an intimate retreat. Together, these spaces embody more than fine dining — they are curated scenes of connection and celebration, where every dish transforms the act of eating into an art form.
EYES ON THE FUTURE
Poised as Dubai’s new emblem of structured modernity, The Lana finds itself mazed in the realms of architecture, artistry, and experience. From its sculptural Foster + Partners design to the sky-high Dior Spa and Michelin-starred collaborations, every corner reflects a philosophy of thoughtful luxury.

Its Eyes on the Future in Dubai initiative extends this ethos beyond the hotel itself, guiding guests through the city’s architectural story. From visionary landmarks to preserved heritage, every step is shared with utmost respect. In a city defined by constant transformation, The Lana embodies a peaceful kind of progress; one that celebrates development not through spectacle alone, but through elegance, imagination, and a reverence for design.
