Created in 2017, The Ned originated in the former Midland Bank headquarters, designed by Sir Edwin 'Ned' Lutyens in 1924.
When Nick Jones, the founder of Soho House & Co Inc., first saw the City's disused building in 2012, he fell in love. 'The property had been empty for nearly eight years but there was something about it – the details and scale of it – that just floored me,' Jones explains. The moment he left, he called Ron Burkle, Soho House chairman and investor. 'Ron came to view the building and straight away we began to imagine how the project would take form,' says Jones.

The Grade I listed building now houses Ned’s Club, a private members’ space, as well as 250 hotel bedrooms, 10 restaurants and 12 bars, a private meetings and events floor, Ned’s Club Gym and Ned’s Club Spa which offers a range of men’s and women’s grooming services, spa treatments and an indoor pool.

The Ned expanded in the summer 2022 to include The Ned NoMad in New York which is housed in The Johnston Building. Originally built in 1903 as a store and office, the historic building is a formidable limestone-faced landmark adorned with Beaux Arts motifs and exudes the old-world glamour and historic stature synonymous with The Ned brand.

In late 2022, The Ned Doha opened its doors Qatar. Originally designed in the 1970s by Lebanese architect William Sednaoui, the unique brutalist style building was redesigned by David Chipperfield Architects Berlin. Since the property is one of the most historically important in the destination, all renovations and design touch points were implemented in line with Qatar’s mission to preserve, modernise, and repurpose its significant buildings.

Every property is slightly different depending on its location, but the ethos of The Ned remains the same; to create a space for like-minded professionals to meet, work and have a good time.
