There is a certain aura surrounding the Ellington Hotel. Based centrally within the German capital of Berlin, the hotel, situated in one of the most popular dance halls of the 1930s, simply oozes history and an air of excitement. Besides the four star private hotel, the historical building also hosts a restaurant in its own right and popular among Berliners, Restaurant DUKE. Named after the famous jazz musician Duke Ellington, both, Ellington Hotel and Restaurant DUKE are run by Nürnberger Straße Hotel-Betriebs-GmbH.
