The Ned — rooms

Deco-era walnut furniture and mirrored drinks cabinets evoke 1930s transatlantic liners, paired with patterned wallpapers and brass bathroom fittings.

The Ned — wellness

Wellness

Downstairs, a twenty-meter mosaic indoor pool and marble Moroccan hammam offer respite, while heated open-air waters wait upstairs on the roof.

Backstory

Built in 1924 as the Midland Bank headquarters, the landmark takes its name from original architect Sir Edwin "Ned" Lutyens.

The Ned — eat & drink

Eat & drink

Graze across Cecconi's and British grill classics on the main floor before sipping martinis in a vault lined with safe deposit boxes.

The neighborhood

Positioned directly above Bank Junction, the hotel commands the historic heart of the City, with St Paul's Cathedral a short stroll west.

“Formerly the headquarters of the venerable Midland bank, and more recently HSBC, the landmark building at No. 27 Poultry never lacked for atmosphere.”
