Dorsett Hospitality International proudly announces the opening of Dao by Dorsett North London in Crouch End, the brand’s second property in London and a bold new statement in flexible, design-led hospitality. Housed within the beautifully restored Grade II* listed Town Hall, the aparthotel offers a striking blend of heritage charm and contemporary sophistication, creating a distinctive destination for modern travellers.
Following the success of Dao by Dorsett West London, this new property reaffirms the brand’s commitment to thoughtful, community-focused spaces in London. Dao by Dorsett North London invites guests to experience a living environment that celebrates the city’s architectural legacy while embracing modern comfort and style.
The property features 68 serviced apartments with a variety of room types to suit different needs. Among them are special rooms that preserve and reinterpret the historic layout and design of the Town Hall, each with a rich history behind its original use. Across all units, guests can enjoy preserved period features, including original ironmongery and timber panelling, complemented by contemporary touches such as elegant lighting and terrazzo-inspired worktops. Each apartment offers a spacious layout with a kitchenette, living and dining area, and an ensuite shower-bath, delivering a seamless blend of functionality and warmth that embodies the signature Dao approach to personalised comfort. The property is designed to welcome business and leisure travellers, families, and even their four-legged companions, ensuring every guest enjoys a tailored and relaxing stay.
More than an aparthotel, Dao by Dorsett North London in Crouch End has been conceived as a versatile hub for creativity, work, and connection. A contemporary co-working space and lounge provide an ideal setting for business or collaboration, while the property’s cinema, assembly hall, and fully equipped recording studios invite both guests and the local community to engage, create, and connect.
Culinary experiences at Dao are equally diverse and thoughtfully curated. Three distinctive restaurants, a welcoming café, and a stylish rooftop bar each offer unique atmospheres, allowing guests to enjoy casual meals, social gatherings, or relaxed drinks with panoramic views of the city.
“Dao by Dorsett North London is more than a place to stay — it is a place to live, work, create, and connect,” said Chris Meehan, Area Commercial Director UK. “This property brings a new chapter to the Town Hall’s story, combining its rich history with the warmth, style, and innovative approach that defines Dao. We are thrilled to welcome business and leisure travellers, families, and pet owners to Crouch End, and to introduce them to a truly distinctive London experience.”
Dao, inspired by the Chinese word 道 or “the way,” embodies the philosophy that every traveller can create their own path, offering a personalised and flexible approach to modern hospitality.
