The Lana, Dorchester Collection
A sophisticated urban retreat above Marasi Bay
The hotel’s 104 rooms, 66 junior suites and 55 suites have a residential vibe, with a soft color palette and carefully controlled lighting that shifts with mood and time of day. The in-room experience is enhanced by a Vispring bed that feels like floating in cotton candy after a long journey, paired with views of the nightly light show illuminating Dubai’s skyline.
Our Inspector's Highlights
- In an ocean of opulence, The Lana whispers quiet luxury. It begins with a smooth ride in a custom Rolls-Royce from the airport to the Dubai hotel. The Lana’s bespoke yacht service, a Sunseeker Predator 57 with interiors that mirror the hotel, offers sunset cruises and a “Tea at Sea” reimagining of the property’s afternoon tea experience, served on deck.
- The nine-foot floral installation in the lobby showcases the Dorchester rose, a signature bloom created by Meijer Roses of Holland, that bursts from a massive urn which is a replica of one found at the Palace of Versailles.
- The Dior Spa at The Lana, the brand’s first in Dubai, is decked out in the signature toile de Jouy print and blond wood across five treatment rooms. The enclave uses cutting-edge treatment technology, including Icoone therapy, Hydrafacials, Dior micro-abrasions and the Dior skin light LED therapy mask.
- By day, the High Society pool on the 30th floor — the space is exclusive to hotel guests — offers a picture-perfect view of the Burj Khalifa. By night, it transforms into a vibrant lounge open to both hotel and non-staying guests, with an even more spectacular skyline backdrop.
- Dining is central to The Lana experience, with eight restaurants and bars. Riviera by Jean Imbert complements the chef’s establishment at Dorchester Collection’s Hôtel Plaza Athénée Paris with a standout all-day menu. Afternoon tea at The Gallery is a signature ritual. The bespoke touches include a tableside jam presentation for the freshly baked scones.
Things to Know
- Hidden corners invite discovery, from the discreet Bitter Honey cocktail lounge in the lobby to the “secret” Txakolina cigar lounge.
- The name “The Lana,” in its Arabic translation, means “a warm sense of belonging.”
- The action centers on the 18th floor, where Basque restaurant Jara by Martín Berasategui captivates with sweeping views.
- The Lana Promenade forms one half of an interconnected building, anchored by a central podium of shops and restaurants, placing everything at guests’ fingertips.
