Dorsett Hospitality has signed a new Dao ‘aparthotel’ in London,
the brand’s third in two years.
The Dao by Dorsett Hornsey Town Hall in
Crouch End, North London will open in the iconic Grade II listed
building which is steeped in
history and boasts a rich heritage stretching back 80 years.
This newest addition to
the portfolio follows on from the opening of Dao West London in
June 2022 and Dao by Dorsett AMTD Singapore in August 2022.
Dao by Dorsett Hornsey Town Hall will span across four
floors and will include a mix of 68 studios and one-bedroom
apartments, many of which, such as the old Borough Treasurer’s
room, include original ironmongery and timber panelling that
stretches from floor to ceiling.
Such unique features have been
restored and paired with modern pendant lighting and
terrazzo-inspired worktops in the multi-functional kitchenettes,
giving each room a mix of period and contemporary fittings.
As well as the hotel, the vibrant new development will
bring together impressive co-working spaces, restaurants and
cafes, a panoramic rooftop bar and a new Arts Centre – all while honouring the building’s distinguished legacy.
The Arts Centre will host a diverse programme of performances and events, from theatre and film to
music, dance, comedy and shows run by arts and
media specialists, Time + Space Co.
In the warmer months, activity
will spill out onto Town Hall Square for summer fairs,
exhibitions, local farmers’ markets and festivals, bringing the
community together to enjoy live music and various food offerings.
Dorsett Hospitality is expected to open in Spring
2023.
