That hotel is really amazing! The location is great, service is friendly and the rooms are perfect. Nice on-site gym as well! It is not cheap, but believe me: it's worth it. I will definitely come back!!

With Central Park across the street and the fine dining restaurants within steps. FAO and Columbus Circle I could go on. This place is a great place to stay. I was not impressed with the service having to call serval times for ice. Did arrive before we went out for the evening. Nice hotel not a luxury service hotel.

Recently came from a four night stay which was superb. The trip was a present to my mum who was celebrating her 70th Birthday and we were overwhelmed by the Birthday cake and champagne in our room. All the staff were wonderful special thank you to King on bell, smiley, happy man, and Nicholas in reservations.. The flowers in reception... More

This was my first experience with the Jumeirah Essex House and it won't be my last. The service - from housekeeping to the front desk to the bellmen to the concierge - was first rate and the location is simply outstanding. I was booked into a king non-smoking room on the 4th floor facing W. 58th St. The room and... More

Just returned from a stay at the Essex and had a fun time! New York is amazing and of course expensive. We had a park view queen on the seventh floor which was decent sized for NYC and appeared to be recently refurbished. The view of the park wasn't bad, but I could imagine it much better from a higher... More

My husband and I went to NYC to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We selected Essex House based on its luxury reputation and proximity to the park and Lincoln Center (we had tix for the orchestra). The location could not be better and the check-in experience was wonderful. We arrived in our Essex King room to find it to be rather... More

I stayed here while I was on a business trip and a tradeshow and could not have been happier with my experience! The staff were fantastic and my room (king non smoking on a higher floor) was beautiful. My room did not have a view and was facing the ally... but I actually didnt mind that at all- who sits...

I recently stayed at the Essex House with my two college-aged daughters. We stayed in a Manhattan Suite facing Central Park. Everything about our stay was perfect. We checked in at noon on Friday and checked out at 3pm on Sunday. The service was impeccable. According to my daughter, the pull-out sofa was uncomfortable but she survived. The room had... More
