"Few London hotels evoke festive cheer more than this spot, whose famous towering tree in the entrance hall draws me back year after year. Traditional interiors make it (quite literally) the season to shine, and for 2025 there’s a first-ever brand collaboration with decorations yet to be unveiled. The center stage hosts live musicians daily, creating a fun yet sophisticated atmosphere any night of the week—Mondays buzz as much as Thursdays and Fridays—while Carols with Gareth Malone brings a raucous crowd each December week, fueled by fizzing Soho Home champagne flutes and a feast at one of the ground-floor (or rooftop, if you’re staying overnight) restaurants. On Christmas Day, a lavish feast awaits both hotel and external guests, plus a visit from the man in red; an evening here never fails to get me in the spirit." - Sarah Leigh Bannerman
"The Square Mile of the City of London, land of suits and proper pints, was short of exciting hotels—and then in 2017, along came an urban resort. Dreamed up by Soho House founder Nick Jones, this place has nine restaurants, 15 bars, a spa, two pools, and a members’ club. The imposing hulk of a building used to be the headquarters of the Midland Bank and seven of those nine restaurants are arranged, food-court style, around the emerald marble columns and checkerboard floor of the soaring lobby, which is where the bank tellers used to sit. Walking through the 20-ton vault door into the members’ club makes you feel like an extra in Oceans Eleven." - CNT Editors
"Located in the City, I found The Ned to offer plush amenities and a social life suitable for after-work gatherings, with more than 10 restaurants and bars as well as a spa, hair salon and barbershop." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team
"Directly beside the entrance to Bank Station, The Ned inhabits a former bank with much of its original opulence intact; with ten restaurants, a rooftop pool and a members' club under one roof, it delivers theatrical, spectacle-style hospitality that largely succeeds." - The MICHELIN Guide
"Dutch courage isn’t just for dates. After a couple of £11 Venice Beach Ice Teas and a salt beef slider in the Nickel Bar at The Ned, everyone doesn’t just like each other. They love each other. By 3am you’ll find yourself in a WhatsApp group with two Swedish diplomats, the daughter of someone from Downton Abbey and Top Bloke Simon, who’s a soil conservationist. Whatever that means. A bar of many talents, The Nickel Bar also serves breakfast from 8am, so if that after party at Sven’s gets a little out of hand they’ve also got the somehow inevitable Nedgroni hangover covered." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing
