About The Lana Dubai
- Jara by Martín Berasategui is the first Basque restaurant in Dubai and, at the time of opening, the only restaurant Berasategui — holder of 12 MICHELIN stars and Spain's most decorated chef — had opened outside Spain.
- The Dior Spa on the 29th floor is the first Dior Spa in the UAE; the original Dior Spa debuted at the Hotel Plaza Athénée in Paris in 2008, where Jean Imbert (also at The Lana) now leads the culinary team.
- Foster + Partners incorporated passive cooling strategies including solar exposure analysis and adaptive overhangs into The Lana's design — a rare environmental-engineering focus for a luxury tower in a market that typically prioritises spectacle over sustainability.
- Entry-level rooms start at 452 sq ft (42 m²).
History
The Lana is Dorchester Collection’s Dubai hotel, opened in 2024 on Marasi Drive in Business Bay. Dorchester’s official site presents it as a 5-star property defined by space, light, and skyline views, with dining curated by Jean Imbert, Martín Berasategui, and Angelo Musa. The 225-room tower was built new for its 2024 opening on Marasi Bay, with rooms aimed at the marina. Its contemporary identity is strongly tied to the Dorchester Collection brand and to the design language of Gilles & Boissier.
The setting
The Lana Dubai, Dorchester Collection's first Middle Eastern property, occupies Marasi Drive in Business Bay alongside the Marasi Bay Marina — a canal-front position within the 46 million square-foot district that extended Dubai Creek southward through engineered waterways south of Downtown Dubai. The Dubai Fountain and Dubai Mall are twenty and twenty-two minutes by car; the Burj Khalifa thirty minutes; and Dubai Opera thirty-three minutes. The marina promenade setting, with tower reflections across the canal, marks Business Bay's maturation from a purely commercial district into a genuine luxury waterfront address.
