“Set in a historic 1920s building with a fabulous facade, the Ellington takes its name from the days when it played host to the jazz greats of the day, Duke Ellington included. Now a slick, trendy hotel, it still attracts stars, but as guests. The all-white lobby, restaurant and canteen-style breakfast room (echoes of the building's days as a factory) are hugely successful spaces. Bedrooms are understated, with bathrooms almost part of the room, so intimacy is required if you are sharing.”
