Dorsett Signs Grade II Listed Building in Crouch End, North London

(25/02/23)  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.
