A NYC Icon
Easily recognizable from the red-lettered Essex House sign on its roof, the hotel has been one of the city’s finest since 1931, when it opened as Sevilla Towers, the tallest tower in New York City at the time. One of the first Art Deco buildings in the city, the hotel, which was also at the forefront of the Sunday brunch craze in the 1930s, became a Jumeirah property in 2006.

Location, Location, Location
In the heart of Manhattan and overlooking Central Park, the Jumeirah Essex House is within walking distance of many of the Big Apple’s best sites, including Broadway, Fifth Avenue, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Times Square, Carnegie Hall, Radio City Music Hall and Lincoln Center.

Well-Appointed Accommodations
Jumeirah Essex House has completed a $90 million renovation, transforming the grand hotel into a haven of modern luxury. Dressed in an Art Deco style, the 509 guestrooms and suites offer soaring views of Central Park. The rooms feature high-speed Internet, touch-screen controls, wall-to-wall cabinetry, flat-screen TVs and custom-programmed color-changing LED light fixtures to stimulate a variety of moods.

5-Star Amenities
South Gate, the hotel’s fine dining restaurant, features “comfortably American, yet culturally inspired” cuisine by Executive Chef Kerry Heffernan. South Gate’s décor showcases a mirrored wall, a fireplace, a skylight and a 750-bottle international wine selection. Guests can also dine in the Gallery, serving breakfast seven days a week. Enjoy high-tea or a signature cocktail, The Essex, in the Art Deco style Lobby Lounge.

The spa, featuring a sauna and a steam bath, offers a number of treatments and is the only place in New York City to find luxe Sodashi products from Australia. The hotel’s fully equipped fitness center features cardiovascular equipment and weights.

For meetings, events and banquets, the Jumeirah Essex House is New York’s first choice, with 16 meeting spaces and the beautiful Grand Salon, which holds up to 550 people. The similarly ornate Petit Salon is a more intimate venue for up to 150 people.

In addition to being named Best Hotel in the Eastern United States by the readers of Global Traveler in 2010, Jumeirah Essex House recently took top honors in two categories in the 17th Annual World Travel Awards, earning accolades as North America’s Leading Business Hotel and United States’ Leading Business Hotel, for the second consecutive year.
