Designed by Foster + Partners, with interiors crafted by Gilles & Boissier, The Lana initiates a new era for Dorchester Collection. The 30-story building weaves the vibrant cultural influences of the United Arab Emirates into every detail of the hotel. Each guestroom and suite comes with an outdoor terrace and floor-to-ceiling windows. The Lana also boasts five signature suites. The Marina Royal Suite includes a balcony running along the entire length of the building, while the two-bedroom The Lana Royal Suite occupies the north corner of the building.

Home to eight restaurants and mixology concepts, The Lana is the heart of food and beverage experiences. Four of the concepts were developed in collaboration with Michelin-starred chefs like Jean Imbert, Angelo Musa and Martín Berasategui. Restaurants include a modern Mediterranean eatery, a rooftop establishment with 180-degree views of downtown Dubai, a Parisian-inspired café and an open-air garden bar serving cocktails and tapas.

The Lana will also soon be home to the first Dior Spa in the United Arab Emirates, slated to open this April. The spa will sit on the 29th floor and feature five treatment rooms and one couple’s suite.
