The Ned: Rediscovered Opulence in the Financial Heart of London
The Ned is a luxury hotel and private members' club in the heart of the City of London. Housed in the former Midland Bank Building, an architectural masterpiece by Sir Edwin 'Ned' Lutyens from 1924, the hotel offers a large-scale luxury experience. It is famous for its historical grandeur, combining opulent accommodation, a private club, a vast culinary offering, and first-class wellness.
Imposing Architecture and Vintage Design
The interior design, curated by Soho House & Co, faithfully reflects the era of its original splendor with polished marble, imposing chandeliers, and mahogany details. The central hall, the former banking floor, is the focal point and hosts eight distinct restaurants and bars, creating a lively and unparalleled atmosphere of constant buzz.
From Bank to Luxury Suite
The 250 rooms are inspired by the design of the 1920s and 30s, featuring four-poster beds, vintage furniture, and marble bathrooms with metal fixtures. The suites, particularly those occupying the former executive offices, offer a unique combination of historical charm and modern comfort, making the stay a true plunge into the glamour of the past.
Ned's Club and Comprehensive Wellness Offering
The hotel hosts Ned's Club, an exclusive private club that includes a rooftop pool with spectacular views of St Paul's Cathedral, a state-of-the-art gym, and a luxurious spa, Ned’s Club Spa. The latter is located in the former bank vault, a fascinating design detail that contributes to the uniqueness of the wellness experience.
An Unprecedented Gastronomic Hub
With eight restaurants, The Ned is a culinary destination in its own right. The offering ranges from American cuisine (Malibu Kitchen) to British (Lutyens Grill), and Italian (Cecconi’s). The possibility of choosing between so many culinary styles in one place makes it an attraction not only for guests but for the entire London community, with an emphasis on quality and diversity.
