“Cool, all-white new addition to central Berlin's hotels. This fabulous 1920s facade has slick and trendy interiors. Extensive banqueting facilities make perfect spaces for private events, bright Scandinavian-esque white on white rooms, and a great restaurant. A stylish choice.”

Hotel Review
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.
