Dorsett to debut aparthotel brand in London UK/Hong Kong: Dorsett Hotels & resorts has launched an aparthotel brand called Dao by Dorsett.
EDITOR'S COMMENT
• It's a vote of confidence in London's continued status as a global city - despite a gruelling 16 months for the city's hospitality industry - that Hong Kong-based Dorsett Hotels & Resorts has chosen the UK capital as the location for the first two properties under a new aparthotel flag - Dao by Dorsett.
Dorsett is owned by the Far East Consortium (FEC), an international developer of mixed-use schemes. It has the financial clout to acquire plum sites around the world and build them out itself, so we are likely to see the Dao flag appearing at some high profile locations in the future.
In the meantime, Dao will debut at a site adjacent to the company's existing Shepherds Bush hotel, followed by the mixed-use redevelopment of the former Hornsey Town Hall site in north London.
On the subject of new launches, it was good to talk to SACO's Steven Haag about the launch of the company's Cove serviced apartment brand, which will take some of the design-focused elements of the Locke aparthotels and the space of a traditional SACO apartment and offer a fusion which will have a broad appeal to both leisure and business travellers.
