Tucked away off Wellington Street in the heart of the city’s financial area is The New Ellington, a stylish hotel that is very much in keeping with the current trend for boutique hotels. The name is, of course, a tribute to Duke Ellington who played at the city’s 1958 music festival and the art deco interiors are clearly a nod towards New Orleans.

Stylish boutique hotel

The hotel, reborn with the ‘New’ prefix in September 2010 following eighteen months of closure may appear unassuming from the outside, nestled alongside a row of Georgian houses situated on York Street just off Wellington Street but is a hotel that has a great feel to it and is ideally located for a stay in Leeds. The red brick exterior may present a discreet façade but upon entering the hotel you are presented with a variety of different styles and colours.
