The Lana | Dorchester Collection
THE MIDDLE EAST CONTINUES TO PROVIDE A GREAT SOURCE OF INSPIRATION FOR THE STUDIO, FROM A DISTINCTIVE LOVE OF LUXURY, TO IMPECCABLE DETAILING AND ELEGANT AESTHETIC. ON OUR RECENT VISIT, WE WERE KEEN TO SEE THE LANA, THE DORCHESTER’S TENTH HOTEL AND THEIR FIRST IN THE MIDDLE EAST. HERE WE SHARE OUR THOUGHTS ON WHAT IS BECOMING ONE OF DUBAI’S LATEST HOTSPOTS.
Situated in Marasi Bay Marina beside Downtown Dubai, The Lana introduces a new, elegantly pared-back concept to the city, focusing on delivering quiet luxury with a discreet experience.

The Dior Spa, perched on the 29th floor, is the first spa for the fashion house in the Middle East. The sophisticated interiors, with their neutral palette, seamlessly incorporate cutting-edge technology into the treatment rooms, where you feel as if you’re entering your own private suite. We love how the space instantly enhances your sense of well-being, evoking a sense of calm and comfort the moment you step through the doors.

The pièce de resistance perches at the top of The Lana, where the hotel’s rooftop is home to ‘High Society’, the poolside bar with the most breath taking views of Dubai. With the Burj Khalifa glistening on the skyline, this has to be one of our favourite places to enjoy a sundowner at golden hour.


For many, the rise in prominence of English wines is a relatively recent thing as big international names look to invest in the UK market. It is fair to say that many of the UK’s most well-known producers have been at it for decades and it is not before time that those leading the charge are being recognised globally for the really excellent wines that they are producing. As we move towards the better weather, it felt like the perfect time to sit down with Gusbourne’s CEO, Jonathan White, to hear more about the exciting world of English wines.
