The Dorchester Collection is set to open its very first hotel in the Middle East – The Lana, in the latter half of 2022. Located in the heart of Business Bay, Dubai, the stunning hotel is set across a 30-storey tower designed by award-winning architects Foster + Partners. Housing 225 guest rooms, 21 of which are signature suites, The Lana will boast impeccable skyline views of Downtown Dubai.
The new luxury hotel will be under the leadership of GM, Caroline Jane-Houston, who comes from locally-based Emaar Hospitality Group.
The hotel’s fourth floor will be a scene all its own with a modern Mediterranean restaurant offering indoors and outdoors dining as well as a private dining space. The floor will also host an Italian café, with seating indoors and outside. The Lana’s signature restaurant and lounge is found on the hotel’s 18th floor and guests can expect an experiential dining experience unlike anything else in Dubai. Further up, on the 29th floor is the hotel’s spa, wellness centre, and state-of-the-art gym. The hotel’s rooftop pool on the 30th floor, available only during the day to hotel guests, will feature cabana service. Come nightfall, the space will transform into a lounge and Dubai’s hottest nightlife destination for revelry under the stars.
Space, light and extraordinary views are to be the defining features of the rooms and suites, where Gilles et Boissier combine traditional elements with contemporary touches inspired by the spirit of Dubai. Tall windows frame views of the Burj Khalifa or the sun-baked desert, stretching endlessly towards the horizon.
Commenting on The Lana, Christopher Cowdray, CEO of Dorchester Collection, said, “The Lana is one of the most anticipated hotel openings of 2022, given its incredible design-led credentials in a superb location in one of the world’s most vibrant cities, and a rooftop scene that will attract much attention. We’re looking forward to bringing Dorchester Collection’s renowned brand of luxury hospitality combined with OMNIYAT’s real estate vision to a new region that is home to so many of our guests around the world.”
Mahdi Amjad, founder and executive chairman of OMNIYAT, comments, “At OMNIYAT, we are committed to delivering the highest standards of quality and design.
