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.


As we launch ourselves well and truly into 2025 the studio is buzzing with project launches, new team members and a raft of exciting projects on the drawing board. We continue to be inspired by the full breadth of the luxury sphere with Paris couture week and deco off providing some of the highlights so far. Here we mull over everything from Sharon’s inclusion in the spears 500 list to our exciting Heathrow VIP project and the importance of storytelling. Enjoy!
