Ellington Hotel Berlin
Centrally located in one of Europe’s most exciting cities, the Ellington Hotel Berlin’s range of unique venues has made it one of the most popular meetings and conferences locations in the city
The German capital has long been making a name for itself as a young, dynamic and cosmopolitan city at the heart of the European continent. Constantly re-inventing itself, the city has a reputation for repurposing buildings into multifunctional venues, making it one of the fastest-growing destinations in the world. With its exceptional national and international travel connections, numerous hotels and some truly special events venues, Berlin is an international hub for conventions and trade fairs – a crucial industry on the back of which the entire city continues to thrive.
According to the latest congress statistics from the visitBerlin convention office, 2014 saw over 11 million people participating in more than 131,000 events. More than seven million hotel bookings stem from the convention business each year – a quarter of all hotel stays in the capital.

Additionally, no other city in the world offers such an extensive range of unique locations – from the 368m-high TV Tower to the hangar of former Tempelhof Airport – alongside over 800 hotels. The Ellington Hotel Berlin is one of the city’s most popular hotels, providing modern décor and state-of-the-art meetings and events facilities that can accommodate up to 800 participants.
