The Art Deco-styled New Ellington Hotel in York Place, Leeds, features two conference rooms and a dedicated gin bar. Jazz references are present throughout the hotel which draws inspiration for its name from a visit to Leeds by Duke Ellington in the late 1950s.

This boutique hotel is ideally located for both the business and leisure traveller and we look forward to welcoming guests to the hotel.”
