Meeting point of the stars

The building which houses the ELLINGTON HOTEL BERLIN was always a haunt for major personalities. Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald and our namesake Duke Ellington played in the legendary “Badewanne”. Davie Bowie, Romy Haag and Lou Reed partied in the just as legendary “Dschungel” and old UFA heroes from the German film industry such as Günter Pfitzmann and Edith Hancke once graced the stage of the “Berliner Theater”.

An architectural treasure

The address of the ELLINGTON HOTEL BERLIN has a place in the heart of every Berlin architectural guide. This is because the “Haus Nürnberg”, as it was originally called, was created between 1928 and 1931 as a result of the groundbreaking construction works of Berlin architect Erich Mendelsohn. The arguably longest, most noticeable and one of the most beautiful facades in Berlin displays, amongst other things, building entrances and display windows which are encased in brass.

Charm of the late twenties

The moment you enter the hotel, the charm of the late twenties and early thirties is apparent, as it has been preserved in the stairways and in certain rooms.
On the 1st October 1929, the former “Femina-Palast” opened as “Das Ballhaus Berlins” (The Berlin Ballroom). In 1932 it was introduced to the German architectural community as the “newest entertainment venue in Berlin”.

A good workout is just what the doctor ordered

Here, not only can you simply sit back and do nothing, but you can also enjoy a good work out on our modern equipment. The use of the entire fitness area is free for hotel guests. For those who need a bit of motivation to go beyond their comfort zones, our personal trainer Alexis Kuraby will be more than happy to arrange a personal session with you. Our members of staff at the reception desk are available either in person or over the telephone on .

Massages

If you are in the mood for a massage in our hotel, we would be happy to get in touch with our external partners. Please feel free to contact our reception staff for this.

 

Here is where jazz comes into its own

Jazz icons such as Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong once played here live in the famous “Badewanne” jazz club, which was located within the premises of our current hotel. They can still be heard today from the “Jazzhotel”, thanks to JazzRadio 106.8 which broadcasts live from the glass studio in the DUKE Lounge.

Moreover, in cooperation with JazzRadio 106.8, we offer a Sunday jazz brunch with live music as well as regular jazz concerts in the DUKE Lounge, the Saal Femina or, weather permitting, in the ELLINGTON Sommergarten. Why not take a look at our event calendar?

Award-winning jazz station

Incidentally, we have gained an award-winning collaboration partner – JazzRadio 106.8, which has been on air in the Berlin-Brandenburg area since 1986 and has been given a total of 24 international awards; among which are the New York International Radio Broadcasting Award and the third-time gold medal for the world’s best jazz format. The station, which broadcasts jazz music 24 hours a day, seven days a week, is gaining an ever-increasing worldwide jazz following.

So come along and watch the channel presenters over a cocktail or a glass of good wine in the DUKE bar while they broadcast their programs over the hotel sound system.
