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.

Last Thursday, on a crisp autumn morning, we gathered in Berkeley Square for our annual visit to PAD London, one of our favourite highlights in the design calendar. The fair brings together leading designers, collectors, and curators, and it never fails to leave us feeling inspired. Surrounded by remarkable works and many familiar faces from the design world, we spent the day admiring beautiful pieces and noting a few special finds along the way. Here, we share what caught our eye and why we loved it.

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. Join us for a little OBS musings…
