The Dorchester Collection is opening its first hotel in the Middle East, and tenth property worldwide.
The Lana will open in the last quarter of 2022 in the Burj Khalifa District of Dubai, located in a 30-storey tower designed by Foster and Partners.
The hotel’s name is drawn from the Arabic expression “for us” and the Hawaiian “floating gently in calm water”, and pays homage to its location beside the Dubai Creek and Marasi Marina.
The hotel will feature 156 rooms and 69 suites (21 of which are the signature suites), and contemporary interior design by Parisian duo Gilles and Boissier. Rooms will include floor-to-ceiling windows, stone parquet flooring, triple-height ceilings, screen dividers and deep-soaking bathtubs – some of which are positioned at the windows to maximise city views.
Meanwhile living spaces will include dark marble, rounded furniture, and hues of gold, beige and olive.
