The interiors, designed by Gilles & Boissier, are unfailingly elegant, and it goes without saying that the comforts are first-class.
“Inside, Paris-based studio Gilles & Boissier took its cues from Dubai’s desert landscape as well as the rich fusion of cultures within the UAE…”
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set on the Marasi Bay Marina boardwalk in Business Bay, the towers overlook the canal just minutes from Downtown Dubai.
The rooms
Rooms feature stone parquet flooring, private balconies, and deep soaking tubs positioned beside floor-to-ceiling glass framing Dubai Canal.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The 30th-floor rooftop infinity pool wraps around three sides of the building, looking straight toward the Burj Khalifa.
The spa
The 29th-floor Dior Spa has treatment suites dressed in toile de Jouy facing floor-to-ceiling views of Downtown Dubai.
The gym
Cardio and strength machines fill the 29th-floor fitness centre, where floor-to-ceiling glass looks out over the city.
At the table
Jean Imbert serves Mediterranean dishes on the sunlit terrace at Riviera, and Martín Berasategui commands the grill at Jara.
In a city where hotels can be big and brash, The Lana's Gilles & Boissier-designed interiors are a breath of fresh air.
How it began
Opened in 2024 and taking its name from the Arabic for 'for us', the hotel marks the Dorchester Collection's Middle Eastern debut.
“The light-filled lobby’s soaring arches, cornices, curves, and mosaic-covered columns are complemented by gentle colors and textures.”
