A monumental banking hall reinvented as a hotel and dining destination, with Ned's Club providing a private layer of rooftop hospitality, lounges and wellness facilities.
The Story
Origin
The Ned opened in 2017 in the former Midland Bank headquarters, taking its name from the nickname of the building's architect, Sir Edwin Lutyens.
Philosophy
It combines the energy of a large public hospitality destination with the access and familiarity of a private club.
Why Important
The Ned helped establish the large-format hotel-and-club model as a significant category in contemporary urban hospitality.
Differentiation
Its defining feature is the scale of the hybrid model: a major hotel and restaurant complex supporting a private members community.
Food Philosophy
Multiple restaurants make dining a daily part of the property rather than a single formal occasion.
Guest Experience
Public restaurants occupy the banking hall, while membership unlocks a distinct collection of social and leisure spaces. Access depends on membership type.
Design Philosophy
The building's banking grandeur provides the framework for interiors drawing on early twentieth-century hospitality.
Design & Architecture
Furniture
Period-inspired dining furniture and upholstered lounge seating.
Materials
Stone, marble, timber and rich upholstery.
Architecture
A Grade I-listed former bank designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens.
Design Language
Interwar glamour within monumental banking architecture.
Interior Design
The restored banking hall anchors a sequence of restaurants, with more intimate club spaces elsewhere in the building.
