DORCHESTER COLLECTION’S THE LANA CELEBRATES LANDMARK GLOBAL RECOGNITION

Dorchester Collection’s The Lana continues to strengthen its position on the global hospitality stage with a series of prestigious international accolades. The hotel has been elevated from One to Two MICHELIN Keys in the 2026 MICHELIN Guide hotel selection and named No. 1 in Top Hotels in the Middle East by Condé Nast Traveler US, alongside a No. 9 ranking from Condé Nast Traveller UK. Further reinforcing the property’s culinary credentials, Jara by Martín Berasategui and Riviera by Jean Imbert have both retained their places in the MICHELIN Guide for the coming year.

The latest distinctions mark another significant chapter for The Lana, which opened in February 2024 as Dorchester Collection’s first hotel in the Middle East and has since established itself as one of Dubai’s leading contemporary luxury addresses.

TWO MICHELIN KEYS FOR THE LANA

In the newly announced 2026 MICHELIN Key selection, The Lana has been elevated from One to Two MICHELIN Keys, placing the hotel among a select group of properties recognised by the MICHELIN Guide for delivering an exceptional stay.

The MICHELIN Key distinction is awarded following anonymous and independent inspections and evaluates hotels across criteria including architecture and interior design, quality and consistency of service, personality and character, value for the experience and the property’s contribution to its destination. The 2026 global selection encompasses 2,832 MICHELIN Key hotels, of which only 657 hold Two Keys.

The elevation reflects The Lana’s continued evolution since opening, combining Dorchester Collection’s longstanding approach to service with a distinctly Dubai identity.

The Lana’s culinary offering also continues to earn recognition, with Jara by Martín Berasategui and Riviera by Jean Imbert both retaining their places in the MICHELIN Guide for the coming year. Together, the distinctions reinforce the hotel’s standing across both luxury hospitality and dining.

RECOGNISED BY CONDÉ NAST TRAVELLER READERS

Further strengthening its international recognition, The Lana has also been celebrated in the Condé Nast Traveller Readers’ Choice Awards 2026, achieving prominent rankings across both editions of the publication.

The hotel was ranked:

• No. 1 in Top Hotels in the Middle East by Condé Nast Traveler US
• No.9 by Condé Nast Traveller UK

Voted for by readers, the annual awards recognise the hotels, resorts and travel experiences that have made the greatest impression on travellers around the world.

Together, the accolades underline The Lana’s growing international appeal and the strength of Dubai’s position within the global luxury hospitality landscape.

Since opening, The Lana has continued to build its international profile. In 2025, it was named No.35 in The World’s 50 Best Hotels, further establishing the property within the global luxury travel landscape.

“To see The Lana recognised by both MICHELIN and the readers of Condé Nast Traveller is an extraordinary honour for our entire team. These accolades are especially meaningful as they reflect both the experience assessed by leading industry authorities and the impressions of travellers themselves. Since opening The Lana, our ambition has been to create a hotel that feels unmistakably part of Dubai while carrying forward Dorchester Collection’s legacy of exceptional hospitality. We are incredibly proud to see that vision resonating internationally.” Richard Alexander, General Manager, The Lana
