About Us

Dao by Dorsett guest reading in-room

Dao inspired by the Chinese word or 'the way', leads our philosophy that every person and every traveller should be able to create their own path. A harmonious, uplifting community presence. We offer an antidote to the identikit, inflexible hotel formulas of the past.


More than just a stay, our aparthotels are designed to adapt to your unique lifestyle so you can live, work and discover at your own pace. From single adventurers to multi-gen families, we offer a stay that's tailored to you. Eco-fabulous, super comfy and always welcoming.
