Who We Are

The Ned NoMad is a new members’ club and hotel that opened in the heart of New York in summer 2022. It’s the first international Ned’ site to open following the launch of The Ned London in 2017.

The Property

Located in The Johnston Building and formerly the NoMad Hotel in Manhattan, the property was built in 1903 as a store and office building.

The original architectural features have been honored, with interiors designed by the Soho House Design team.

The Ned NoMad offers a mix of members-only and public spaces, including 167 bedrooms and suites. Ned’s Club will give members access to a rooftop bar and terrace restaurant as well as a first-floor bar and lounge with live entertainment from The Atrium Stage, seven nights a week.

New to the property is Cecconi’s, a modern day classic Italian restaurant.
