Set within the erstwhile Midland Bank building in City of London and named for the building’s 1920s designer, Sir Edwin “Ned” Lutyens, The Ned’s members and hotel guests will be privy to facilities from top to bottom, such as a rooftop pool, spa and hammam, and an all-hours cocktail lounge situated in what was once the bank’s vault. The hotel’s 252 rooms pay homage to the ‘20s and ‘30s era with vintage pieces, chandeliers, and brass and mahogany furnishings to glamorous effect.
And arrive with an appetite, as the 3,000-sqm banking hall is home to eight restaurants, such as Cecconi’s, that specialise in various cuisines, from New York-style deli sandwiches to classic French.
