Expert reviews
“Dreamed up by Soho House founder Nick Jones, The Ned has nine restaurants, 15 bars, a spa, two pools and a members’ club. The imposing hulk of a building used to be the headquarters of the Midland Bank.”
Featured in CN Traveler’s 2018 Hot List.
“When London-based Soho House & Co teamed up with New York’s Sydell Group to resurrect a former bank, glamorous stay The Ned was born. This wasn’t any ordinary bank, though. The 1924 Grade 1 listed building is a remarkable structure, designed by (and named for) legendary London architect Sir Edwin “Ned” Lutyens.”

Great for active visits! Entertainment in the main hall / Special locations cost extra!!!
- The entertainment and restaurants/bars are amazing. No need to hit the city. - Live music almost the entire day!!! - Best gym i have ever seen - even high level kettlebells!!! - Disco and Live Jazz restaurant in the basement! - Lots of areas to sit!
- The rooftop bar AND dicso is only for club-members. Not even for the hotel guests. This is very weak for a hotel that charges 800 pounds + a night - you really need to change this!!! - 60 pounds for a normal breakfast is too much. - I found a desk in the middle of the hall at a corner to work, but was sent off, as it is for hotel staff - !?!?!? There are no silents spots to work during the day...

Great and trendy hotel with large public areas, filled with mostly non hotel patrons
Nice and very trendy hotel with many restaurants and bars. Great interior in an old bank. Location is good, the area is more business orientated, however, the tube station Bank is right next to the hotel. Staff friendly and reliable.
There are no real areas for hotel guests. In the main hall there are several restaurants and bars, and it's open to the public. Starting around 4pm this area is packed and very loud. Absolutely not possible to go down and read something, or even to find a place to sit, without prior reservation.

A glamorous setting for a Christmas visit to London
Breakfast was delicious! The amenities in the room were great, especially the range of toiletries
The room felt a little sparse, but this wouldn’t put me off of staying again.

Great stay with my family
The Ned was an amazing place for my family to stay. I would like to highlight the kindness and exceptional service of Jack and Eleonora. They were so kind, helped us to find the best locations in London and made everything to make staying at the Ned exceptional.

architecture,design, incredible flowers, atmosphere, live music, food Asian restaurant fantastic
I would probably say,although it wasn’t a problem but could have been if the timings where different, not a lot of seating to enjoy a cocktail so lots of people standing around, service wasn’t a problem but again could have been just lucky with timings. Lounge bar open to public so it did get incredibly busy.

Fantastic and such a great experience
Great hotel - Great staff - Great Food - Great drink - all in all the best hotel i have stayed in London. We will defiantly be returning to The Ned.
It would be hard to find anything about this hotel that we didn't like so this is a question that I can not answer I'm afraid. I just wish I could afford to stay here again before Christmas with our children to give them the same experience we had.

Lovely Hotel in Bank.
Lovely style of room and bathroom was spacious. Nice comfy bed and good drinks selection.
Couldn't get me any more than one tea bag due to the fact that only the cleaners deliver those! (For a five star hotel that just seems a bit ridiculous to me) Staff were helpful but never quite fulfilled the task.

We have stayed at The Ned as we attend a function each year at the Mansion House so the location is perfect. We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived early to be able to check in as our rooms were ready. The breakfast was great with fresh juice and perfectly cooked poached eggs. We never seem to have time to use the spa facilities but we always enjoy the stay.
Prior to our stay I enquired about local hairdressers as the in house hairdresser had no availability. The lady I spoke to had no help to offer as she told me she is unfamiliar with the area but the concierge could help. He was unavailable and instead of taking my details to call me back I was asked to try again later which I felt was not the perfect customer service I'd expect. I sourced a salon myself literally a 10 minute walk away.
