They’re so intimate.” The Ned NoMad, Manhattan’s newest member’s club and hotel, embodies the duality of the famous Great Gatsby quote as a place of reprieve in the heart of the big city. Like its sister property in London, the multipurpose playground for NYC’s elite was conceived by SoHo House founder Nick Jones, and he’s already minted the house as the new it-spot with guests including Julia Fox and Anna Wintour. The Ned also has Richie Akiva at its helm — he who famously spent 25 years in hospitality founding hot spots such as 1OAK, Butter, and more — so needless to say, it’s pretty special.

Designed with a vintage feel through a modern lens, chandeliers and artworks guide guests through the vast halls to renowned restaurants, including Manhattan’s first Cecconi’s location, The Dining Room, and Little Ned.

Located at the top of the Beaux Arts-style Johnston Building, Ned’s Club Upstairs rooftop lounge reiterates the motif of the era with an unobstructed view of NYC’s definitive landmark of the era, The Empire State building. It’s officially the roaring ’20s all over again.
