Elevated Living
Dorchester Collection debuts its tenth hotel and first Middle East location with The Lana in Dubai. Texture and intricate details make for a sophisticated interior, with a carefully curated selection of over 50 art pieces from local and global artists. The 30-story building features an interconnected design with a central podium, The Lana Promenade, for retail and restaurants. Guests can relax at an infinity rooftop pool offering views over the city and the desert landscape beyond.
All 225 guest rooms and suites feature an outdoor terrace and floor-to-ceiling windows to enjoy sweeping views and ample natural light. Guests can enjoy their pick of eight restaurants and mixology concepts, four of which the hotel developed in collaboration with famed Michelin-starred chefs. Onsite, guests can also indulge in the first Dior Spa in the UAE. It will offer treatments that incorporate cutting-edge technology, like Icoone Therapy and Hydrafacials, plus three treatments exclusive to The Lana.
The property offers nearly 10,000 sq. ft. of meeting and event space, including the 4,725-square-foot Lana Ballroom, which can be divided into two spaces, and a 2,153-square-foot pre-function space.

La Buena Vida
La Buena Vida—the good life—is at the heart of Four Seasons Resort and Residences Cabo San Lucas at Cabo Del Sol. There, on the southern coast of Baja in the Los Cabos Golden Corridor, visitors will find themselves in the vibrant, Rivera-style village of Cabo del Sol. The new Four Seasons experience brings a modern, Pueblos-Mágicos-inspired hacienda, uniting local craftmanship, art, music and food.
From the 96 expansive guest rooms, casitas, suites and villas, plus 61 residences, villas and estates, guests can take in views of the Sea of Cortez. Clean lines and airy spaces blend contemporary luxury with traditional Mexican influences. All accommodations feature retractable glass doors and private terraces.
Guests first enter the property at La Casona, a welcoming gathering space decorated with a large fireplace, local artwork and ocean views. Rather than stand in uniforms behind a desk, employees assist guests in this living room-style space, wearing chic employee fashion from Mexico City-based designer Kris Goyri. Visitors can enjoy innovative dining concepts, from curated tequila tastings at La Casona Bar to an open-air kitchen serving French- and Italian-inspired menus at Palmerio, and more.
Numerous unique and versatile indoor and outdoor venue spaces combine for a total of 19,827 sq. ft. of meeting and event space. Already open for reservations, the property will begin welcoming guests on May 1, 2024.
Repurposed and Reinvented
Housed in the historic department store and Oxford institution, Boswells, The Store, Oxford brings a reimagined hotel complete with a restaurant, rooftop bar, co-working bar and space to the heart of Oxford. The space, with 101 guest rooms, is arranged over seven floors across the two historic buildings with a design intended to celebrate their heritage. Six district design typologies make for a versatile experience throughout. The interior juxtaposes multi-purpose, open-plan public spaces with intimate corners for moments of escape.
Guests can enjoy unexpected multicultural influences to traditionally British dishes at Treadwell. If they opt to visit the ground floor Bar at The Store, they’ll enjoy a space suited for all occasions, from coffee meetings to cocktail gatherings, amongst a fireside snug and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Broad Street. The Roof at The Store offers an elegant bar and terrace experience with views over Oxford and a variety of outdoor seating. It will run a range of themed pop-ups throughout the year. Both Treadwell and The Roof can be rented out for private events, and the lobby can be used as a light-filled co-working space for guests to take business meetings, calls and more.
