The Lana | Dorchester Collection
THE MIDDLE EAST CONTINUES TO PROVIDE A GREAT SOURCE OF INSPIRATION FOR THE STUDIO, FROM A DISTINCTIVE LOVE OF LUXURY, TO IMPECCABLE DETAILING AND ELEGANT AESTHETIC. ON OUR RECENT VISIT, WE WERE KEEN TO SEE THE LANA, THE DORCHESTER’S TENTH HOTEL AND THEIR FIRST IN THE MIDDLE EAST. HERE WE SHARE OUR THOUGHTS ON WHAT IS BECOMING ONE OF DUBAI’S LATEST HOTSPOTS.
Situated in Marasi Bay Marina beside Downtown Dubai, The Lana introduces a new, elegantly pared-back concept to the city, focusing on delivering quiet luxury with a discreet experience.

The Dior Spa, perched on the 29th floor, is the first spa for the fashion house in the Middle East. The sophisticated interiors, with their neutral palette, seamlessly incorporate cutting-edge technology into the treatment rooms, where you feel as if you’re entering your own private suite. We love how the space instantly enhances your sense of well-being, evoking a sense of calm and comfort the moment you step through the doors.

The pièce de resistance perches at the top of The Lana, where the hotel’s rooftop is home to ‘High Society’, the poolside bar with the most breath taking views of Dubai. With the Burj Khalifa glistening on the skyline, this has to be one of our favourite places to enjoy a sundowner at golden hour.


This month we talk to Fashion Stylist, Oriona Robb, to find out how she helps her clients discover their personal style and express themselves through the power of fashion. We ask Oriona everything from her style predictions for the year, to how she balances the demands of motherhood with running a successful styling business.

Nothing says ‘summer is here’ like Wimbledon, even if the weather hasn’t got the memo!

As we move into autumn, we continue to be energised by the ‘start of term’ vibes. New launches, the Monaco Yacht Show, inspiring conversations in sustainability and wellness and a continuing appreciation for the importance of home, have been much discussed in the studio over the last few weeks.
