Situated in the City of London in a former bank building designed by architect Sir Edwin 'Ned' Lutyens, The Ned hotel, spa and club will open in April 2017.

The Grade I listed property will include 252 bedrooms, nine restaurants, a member’s club and extensive health and leisure facilities, with many of the building’s original features from the 1920s and 1930s having been retained.

It is being designed by Alice Lund and run by Soho House – which operates private members’ clubs for those in film, media and creative industries – in partnership with US-based Sydell Group, which manages "unique hotels rooted in their location and architecture."

The spa and grooming areas are open to the public and include three brand offerings: the subterranean Cowshed spa, which offers a range of treatments, including tailor-made massages, body wraps, manicures and pedicures and facials; a Cheeky nail bar with 10 manicure and pedicure stations; and a Neville barbershop. Spa director is Shelley Hepburn, who was previously at the Bulgari.

For members and hotel guests, Ned’s Club Upstairs has views across London, a 20m (65ft) rooftop pool with terrace, an underground indoor swimming pool, sauna, steam room and hammam built with pink limestone from Devon.

Ned’s Club Active features a state-of-the-art gym with marble changing rooms and studios for pilates, yoga and spinning. Spa director is Shelley Hepburn, who was previously at the Bulgari.
