The Ned destinations worldwide

The Ned group's New York outpost occupies a Beaux-Arts NoMad building, its bar, Italian restaurant, and members' club giving the Midtown address the social infrastructure of the London original in a neighbourhood that hosts the city's most concentrated cluster of design-forward hotels.

Lutyens' 1920s City of London banking hall—its grand Portland stone interior among the most imposing in the Square Mile—was converted in 2017 to house nine restaurants, a spa, and a pool, the former Midland Bank preserved atrium now serving as London's most programmatically ambitious social destination.
