As one of only three dedicated 1895 Coffee Designers by Lavazza destinations on the globe — alongside Milan and London — Dubai now takes its place among the world’s most refined coffee experiences.
Le Méridien Dubai Hotel & Conference Centre has unveiled 1895 Coffee Designers by Lavazza, introducing the UAE to one of the world’s most exclusive specialty coffee concepts. Since opening on 18 June 2026, Dubai has become only the third city globally to host a dedicated 1895 Coffee Designers destination, joining Milan and London.
Named after the year Luigi Lavazza founded his iconic Italian coffee house, the 1895 concept is the brand’s most elevated expression of coffee artistry. More than a coffee menu, it is an immersive journey through rare origins, masterful roasting, and precision brewing – designed not simply to be enjoyed, but experienced.
“The launch of 1895 Coffee Designers by Lavazza at Le Meridien Dubai reflects a shared passion for craftsmanship, quality and innovation, creating a destination where coffee is elevated into a refined and immersive experience. We are proud to be home to one of only three dedicated 1895 Coffee Designers destinations in the world, further strengthening Le Méridien Dubai’s position as a leading dining and lifestyle destination in the city.” Shujaat Yar, General Manager, Le Méridien Dubai Hotel & Conference Centre
THE EXPERIENCE
Where Craft Meets Ritual
Guests are invited to explore a curated selection of specialty brewing methods — V60, Chemex, and Cold Brew, each thoughtfully chosen to unlock the distinct flavor profiles and aromatic complexity of the 1895 collection. Every cup is prepared by trained baristas with precision and intentionality, transforming every cup into a personalized sensory experience.
