The Ned fills the former headquarters of the Midland Bank, designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens in the 1920s. The great banking hall, with its green onyx columns, now holds several restaurants and bars around a stage for live music, and the old vault houses a bar. The hotel has around 250 rooms, a spa and a members’ rooftop with a pool.
