“The Dao By Dorsett North London strikes a remarkable balance, revitalizing a historic Art Deco building with modernist touches throughout its generously appointed studio apartments. It's clear a great deal of thought went into the restoration, creating a calm atmosphere with fully integrated kitchens and luxurious bathroom details. I found the staff to be exceptionally welcoming, contributing to a decidedly more relaxed environment than many larger city hotels.”
