Ellington Hotel

City West & Charlottenburg


Duke and Ella gave concerts in the jazz cellar and Bowie partied in the Dschungel nightclub, then the lights went out in the '90s. Now the handsome 1920s building has been resuscitated as a high-concept hotel, which wraps all that’s great about Berlin – history, innovation, laissez-faire – into one attractive package. Rooms are stylishly minimalist. Optional breakfast is €20.
