Dorchester Collection, a portfolio of nine of the world’s most legendary hotels, and developer Omniyat have announced plans for a new luxury property in Dubai.
Called The Lana, from the Arabic expression meaning ‘for us’ and the Hawaiian ‘floating gently in calm water’, the hotel will be located beside the Dubai Creek and the Marasi Marina and is set to open by the end of 2022.
The Lana, with its 225 guest rooms, marks Dorchester Collection’s first address in the Middle East and is a 30-storey tower designed by the award-winning architects Foster + Partners.
With interiors by Parisian duo Gilles & Boissier, The Lana’s rooms include 69 suites and all feature floor-to-ceiling windows and light-flooded spaces.
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, added: “The Lana, our newest property with the illustrious Dorchester Collection, redefines the standard of luxury. The Lana’s sophistication, opulence, and design will undoubtedly make it a standout feature in the Emirates’ picturesque skyline.”
The Lana will have 21 signature suites to choose from including a Presidential Suite and Royal Suite.
Arriving guests and visitors will be welcomed on the second floor, one level up from the water, with reception, concierge, an indoor-outdoor social lobby space, as well as a pastry counter. The second floor will also be home to the secluded garden lounge.
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 fourth floor will also host an Italian café, with seating indoors and outside.
The Lana’s signature restaurant and lounge will be found on the hotel’s 18th floor while on the 29th floor is the hotel’s spa, wellness centre, and gym. The hotel’s rooftop pool on the 30th floor. Available only during the day to hotel guests, it will feature cabana service. Come nightfall, the space will transform into a lounge.
As part of the waterfront living development, Dorchester Collection is also managing the adjacent 39 residences.
