Press Releases Crypto News DeCrypt AI Raves in the Metaverse Are a Thing—Here's What It's Like Inside

“Wait, so it’s a metaverse thing? Fuck me!”

So exclaimed a member of The Ned—an exclusive hotel with an annual fee of £3,465—to the door host before stumbling into a private bar opposite. I’m not sure if he was excited by the prospect of a metaverse rave or offended by it. I wasn’t sure either.

Behind the doorman was a bank vault with the door swung open, as the thudding of techno leaked into the lobby. I soon entered a room lined with steel deposit boxes; this place used to be a real bank years before Soho House founder Nick Jones bought it in 2012.

The first room was a dimly lit lounge area with not much going on. The main room was equally as dark, but populated with people standing in twos and threes engaged in business talk—not to mention furniture that cost more than my net worth, as well as a sizable screen. Servers slung glasses of rum punch, perhaps trying to ease us into the mood for what we were about to see.
