The Hotel Ellington is a beautifully designed, jazz themed hotel that was refurbished in 2006 and sits just on the edge of the main tourist area, two thirds of a mile or a ten minute walk from the Promenade d'Anglais, and 600 metres from the Old Town, Flower Market and Etoile Shopping Centre. With the main train station also less than a mile away the hotel is the ideal base from which to explore the millionaire¿s playground which is the Cote d¿Azur. The four-star Ellington Hotel offers individually decorated guestrooms which have a separate sleeping and living area as well as air conditioning, high speed internet access and flatscreen TV¿s with satellite channels. You can start your day in the warmer months with breakfast on the courtyard sun terrace. Guests are invited to help themselves from the extensive buffet menu which gives the choice of a cooked breakfast, cereal, fruit, breads and of course croissants. After a long day exploring Nice you can relax with a cocktail in the jazzy atmosphere of the lounge bar.
