Dao By Dorsett North London  

In the heart of Crouch End at the restored Hornsey Town Hall building, this serviced-apartment hotel mixes village vibes with easy central-London links. It sits steps from Town Hall Square and is minutes from Finsbury Park and Alexandra Palace, with frequent buses to Finsbury Park Station (Victoria and Piccadilly lines) for quick central-London access. Eco-certified and set across a Grade II* listed complex, it’s ideal for culture-loving city travelers.

Sixty-eight studios and suites blend original ironmongery and timber panelling with terrazzo-style worktops and modern lighting. Rooms have kitchenettes with ovens, stovetops and dishwashers, plus 50-inch smart TVs, microwaves and in-room safes. Expect restored period fittings, contemporary touches and views over the Town Hall Square — a mix of character and practical comfort.

Rooftop terrace and rooftop bar, garden and bike rentals set the scene for relaxed downtime. Concierge, wedding services and a lively events program run from the on-site Art Centre and assembly spaces. Complimentary Wi‑Fi, daily housekeeping, laundry/dry cleaning and room service keep stays easy. Pets are allowed for an extra charge — a true pet-friendly option in north London.

Event facilities include a conference centre and meeting rooms, plus co-working spaces and a cinema in the wider complex. 24-hour front desk, multilingual staff and high-speed internet support business stays and corporate events.

Two on-site restaurants, a coffee shop/café and a bar/lounge serve everything from grab-and-go snacks to sit-down meals. Continental breakfast is offered daily (7:00–10:30, for a fee), and a trio of restaurants plus independent eateries line the vibrant high street just outside.
