The Lana, Dubai: A Festive Season of Elegance, Craft and Couture Collaboration

Hello Beauties,The Lana, Dubai, part of Dorchester Collection, is approaching the festive season with a very clear point of view: celebrations that feel composed, luxurious and intentionally designed rather than overstated. For 2025, the property brings together a dedicated festive stay offer, Dior Spa rituals and a creative collaboration with Manolo Blahnik that transforms the lobby into a fashion-informed statement of the season.

Festive stays with a defined structure

To anchor the celebrations, The Lana introduces an exclusive festive stay offering with clearly framed benefits. Guests booking the seasonal package receive an overnight stay, a 500 AED hotel credit redeemable across the hotel’s restaurants, bars and spa, as well as complimentary welcome drinks on arrival. Rates begin at 3,890 AED for rooms, 5,990 AED for Junior Suites and 12,190 AED for suites, with festive stays available from 24 November through 9 January.

The structure is straightforward: a defined time window, transparent pricing tiers and a credit that can be directed toward dining or wellbeing, depending on how guests want to shape their stay. The full festive offer is available to explore via The Lana’s dedicated page for seasonal experiences.

Dior Spa – targeted rituals for the season

Wellbeing at The Lana is articulated through Dior Spa, where the festive programme highlights two signature treatments. The 90-minute Escale at The Lana Body experience, inspired by Japanese bodywork, is priced at 2,100 AED and combines pressure, friction and percussive techniques with guided stretching to create a deep sense of calm.

For the face, the 90-minute Golden Aura treatment, also priced at 2,100 AED, focuses on rhythm and sculpting movements to stimulate circulation and support lymphatic drainage. The intention is clear: to restore glow and definition so that guests move into the festive calendar with a complexion that feels reset rather than fatigued.

Manolo Blahnik – a couture perspective on the Christmas tree

A key visual statement of the season is the partnership with Manolo Blahnik. For the first time, the house debuts a branded Christmas tree at The Lana, unveiled in a theatrical celebration on 8 December. The design language is deliberately restrained: delicate candles, considered bows and crafted baubles that reference both the hotel’s architecture and the brand’s refinement.

Rather than leaning into excess, the tree reads as a couture object in the lobby – a focal point that frames arrival and quietly signals the collaboration between two established names in fashion and hospitality.

Within The Gallery, the Manolo Blahnik-designed festive afternoon tea continues throughout December. The savoury selection includes seasonal combinations such as turkey with cranberry relish, slow-roasted organic turkey breast and aged cheddar, alongside Alaskan King Crab with avocado, iceberg lettuce and a touch of lemon zest.

Desserts move in a similarly considered direction: an orange tart with sugar dough, almond and orange cream, and a festive éclair with speculoos and spiced crèmeux topped with blackcurrant confit. Traditional scones are served with Devon clotted cream and Angelo Musa jams, reinforcing the connection between classic technique and contemporary presentation.

Dining across Riviera and Jara

For guests planning their festive calendar around dining, The Lana remains fully open through the holidays and on Christmas Day. At Riviera, Mediterranean flavours are interpreted with seasonal flourishes, designed for tables where dishes are shared and conversation is allowed to extend.

Jara, the hotel’s fine dining restaurant, brings a Basque perspective to December, with bold, expressive flavours that suit both intimate dinners and larger family gatherings. Across the property, the common thread is a festive season that favours well-defined experiences over volume – from the rooms and suites to the spa, lobby and culinary spaces.

With a structured festive offer, precise spa rituals, a fashion-led Christmas tree and focused dining concepts, The Lana, Dubai positions itself as one of the city’s key addresses for the season – composed, polished and clearly articulated.
