Stayed in the Jumeirah Essex House for one night in my way back home. Minty towels were given upon check in, asked for a connecting rooms on high floors with late check out time which we got. The rooms were newly renovated; space wise was fine NYC standards, with marble bath. Lighting, AC setting can all be set via the... more

My partner and I stayed at this hotel after doing much research and comparison between this and similar hotels in NYC. We live on Long Island, and have stayed at several other highly rated NYC hotels, such as the Casablanca and Hilton hotels. We picked the Central Park King room based on the hotel website description stating that the Park... more

I ended up at the Essex House through my firm's New York hotel roulette ("find me a room in Midtown," I believe I said). When I got into the cab at JFK and gave the address ("59th between 6th and 7th"), he said, "Oh, the Essex House or the New York Athletic Club?" Clearly this is a known hotel. When... more

I stayed for two nights at the Essex while at a business meeting hosted there. Our rate was $379, which is very reasonable for a 4 - 5 star hotel NY midweek. The sleeping room was lovely - the bed was wonderful - I loved having King Size and regular size pillows. Great plasma tv. Very nice to have a... more

This hotel is extremely overrated. The rooms are only partially renovated. The sleeping area was nicely renovated but the bathroom was original 60's era plumbing, the shower didn't even work properly, the toilet, sink, and tub were all decades old. It is a [-] facade on an old building. The service was extremely unprofessional and incompetent. I had more problems... more

We just returned from three nights at the Essex House in NYC, and it was very nice. In recent trips we've stayed at the Parker Meridien, the Michaelangelo and the Soho Grand, and liked them all. At the Essex House, my husband and I stayed in a park view King on the 14th floor and our kids stayed in a... more

If you are new to NYC then this hotel is in the perfect location. It is right on the south side of Central Park and you walk out the front doors and see it every day. Plus all the taxi drivers seemed to know it, no mean feat considering the number of hotels in the city. Apart from the location... more
