Ned
Art Deco grandeur meets speakeasy energy. Think brass and mahogany, marble mosaic bathrooms, jewel-toned upholstery, 92-foot domed ceilings, and a bandstand in the former banking hall. The vibe is 1920s glamour with a genuinely lively crowd — this is not a quiet retreat.
Standard room rates don't include access to the spa, indoor pool, gym, or rooftop — budget for a £250 day pass if you want the full wellness experience
Why It Matters
It's one of the most architecturally significant hotel conversions in London. The original bank vault is now a late-night club (The Vault) surrounded by 3,000 original safety deposit boxes. The sheer density of dining and entertainment under one roof is unmatched in the City.
The Ned occupies the former Midland Bank headquarters — a Grade I-listed building designed by Sir Edwin 'Ned' Lutyens in 1924 — right next to Bank tube station in the City of London. It's a 320,000 sq ft beast that packs in 250 bedrooms, ten restaurants, a spa, a gym, and a members' club spread across the rooftop and the original bank vault. The scale is almost absurd, but it works: the grand banking hall hums with activity while each dining room carves out its own atmosphere.
Where You'll Stay
15 room types available
Accessible
Mobility- and hearing-accessible rooms ranging from 23-40 sq m with roll-in showers and the same vintage touches and hand-finished details as the rest of the hotel.
Various · 31 sqm
Cosy
Snug but thoughtfully done. At 20-30 sq m, these rooms have queen-size beds, silk tassel lampshades, a leather-top drum table, and bespoke floral wallpaper based on an original 1920s design. The marble mosaic bathroom has a walk-in rainforest shower.
25 sqm
Crash Pad
The smallest rooms in the house. At 17-19 sq m, these are compact by any measure — designed for short stays when you just need somewhere to crash after a big night. Comfortable enough, with the same Art Deco touches as every other room, but don't plan on spreading out.
18 sqm
Duplex Suite
Spanning two floors, this 85 sq m suite is the top choice for a genuinely impressive space to entertain. Living area on one level, bedroom on another.
85 sqmGrand Heritage
Also on the 5th floor, but bigger — 37-70 sq m — and each one is unique. Hallmarks of Lutyens' signature style are carefully preserved throughout. The most architecturally interesting rooms in the building at the non-suite level.
53 sqmHeritage
On the Grade I-listed 5th floor, these rooms are packed with period features that nod to the building's 1920s origins. Lutyens' original architectural details are preserved and incorporated into the decor.
40 sqmHeritage Suite
On the Grade I-listed 5th floor, this 50 sq m suite is the most atmospheric room at this price point. The 1920s glamour is full-on here, with the preserved architectural details making it feel genuinely historic.
50 sqmLarge
At 35-45 sq m, Large rooms have super king-size beds and an open-plan layout. A good pick for extended stays when you want room to breathe.
Super King · 40 sqmLutyens Suite
The flagship suite, named after the building's architect and located on the 7th floor. At 100 sq m, it's the most expansive room in the hotel — a dramatic space with period furnishings, Persian rugs, and a separate dining area.
100 sqmMedium
A step up in space with the same rich Art Deco vocabulary: walnut and marble finishes, vintage pieces, and patterned furnishings. The 25-35 sq m footprint makes them the most popular option.
30 sqmOne Bed Suite
Newly created suites designed by Alice Lund, one of The Ned's founding designers. At 50-52 sq m, they reflect a relaxed glamour with timeless style — a softer, more residential feeling than the more theatrical Heritage rooms.
51 sqmStairwell Studio
A genuinely clever use of the building's original stairwells. At 50-60 sq m, these studios have a separate living area and generous proportions — worth the extra cost if you want space without going full suite.
55 sqmStudio Suite
An open-plan living and sleeping space of 40-55 sq m. Good for extended stays where you want the feel of a suite without multiple rooms.
47 sqmTerrace Suite
One of the few rooms with its own outdoor space. At 51 sq m, you get both indoor and outdoor areas to relax and entertain — rare for a City hotel.
51 sqmTwo Bed Family Suite
The hotel's family option at 95 sq m — multiple rooms, ideal for groups or families. Not the most glamorous name, but a genuinely practical layout for travelling with kids or a small group.
