The Lana

Dubai, United Arab Emirates

In a city known for its gilded excess, The Lana offers a quieter sort of grandeur. Opened in 2024 as the Dorchester Collection’s Middle Eastern debut, the hotel anchors the sparkling Marasi Bay Marina, trading bling for serenity. Forget ostentation: The Lana feels like an exclusive collection of private residences, loved by savvy business travellers and in-the-know locals. Its signature claret hue is woven through design accents, from the bellmen’s dapper uniforms to the rose-tinted interior palette. In the lobby, a three-metre floral masterpiece by Philip Hammond sets the tone. Rooms look out over either Dubai’s golden suburbs or the gleaming Marina and Downtown skyline, offering front-row views of the Burj Khalifa. Inside, blush and rose quartz features mingle with marble, walnut and tactile velvet. Every detail, from Dyson hairdryers to Buckingham Palace-approved mattresses, whispers Dorchester-calibre luxury. The dining is no less knock out. Riviera by Jean Imbert serves French elegance with a rooftop twist, while Jara by Martín Berasategui delivers Basque brilliance in a scarlet-washed setting. High Society offers next-level skyline views, and afternoon tea in the pink-and-white lobby is a confectionary triumph. For a breather, head to the rooftop pool or the sought-after Dior Spa.
