Dorchester Collection, a portfolio of nine properties, and OMNIYAT, the real estate development group, announced that their new luxury landmark will be called The Lana.

Coming from the Arabic expression meaning “for us” and the Hawaiian ”floating gently in calm water,” the name pays homage to the hotel’s location beside the Dubai Creek and the Marasi Marina.

Opening in Q4 2022 under the leadership of general manager Caroline-Jane Houston, The Lana, with its 225 guest rooms, is located in the heart of Dubai, in the Burj Khalifa District, overlooking the vibrant Business Bay area. It marks the Dorchester Collection’s first address in the Middle East.

The Lana is a 30-story tower designed by award-winning architects Foster + Partners, with interiors by Parisian duo Gilles & Boissier.

The hotel’s fourth floor will feature a modern Mediterranean restaurant, offering indoor and outdoor 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 located on the hotel’s 18th floor, where guests can expect an experiential dining experience unlike anything else in Dubai.

Further up, on the 29th floor, will be the hotel’s spa, wellness center and gym. The hotel’s rooftop pool, on the 30th floor, will feature cabana service. Come nightfall, the space will transform into a lounge and Dubai’s hottest nightlife destination for revelry under the stars.
